ELECT DEMOCRATS TO PROTECT ABORTION RIGHTS! is the kind of shit they should have been campaigning on in 2016 instead of ORANGE MAN BAD. Clowns.

People did elect Democrats.

It’s easy to forget, but Democrats actually have the majority in the US Senate.

Are abortion rights that important to the demographics where Dems have been leaking votes?

i just checked with our majority leader and it seems we should elect more liberals to the senate.

You know what would have protected abortion rights? Appointing 2+ more judges to scotus when you have 50 people “in your party” in the senate.

Maddow is like the only game in town for left-of-center Boomer news shows. Tucker has to compete with five other FOX hosts plus AM radio.

I assume this is both sidesism. Maddow is in general not made out of whole cloth. I can’t watch Tucker for more than 5 seconds before needing to change the channel so I don’t know for sure wrt his show.

I’m actually more likely now.
