This sounds like a failure on Democrats to get information out.
Yes, we all know Republicans like to keep people ignorant, but this should be a slam dunk informational campaign for the Democrats: “here is a case where a woman needed and really should have been given an abortion. She was denied. Here is where you can find the court case.”
I’m certain the Democrats have purposely put off abortion rights and housing prices so they can promise something for the next election. I don’t even think Biden has really talked about abortion in any meaningful way between his election and last March.
Too many Democrats still think their copilot is a rational actor and not a coked out gorilla. Reaching across the aisle hasn’t been an option for at least a decade but the democrats want to just act like the coked out gorilla holding the other yoke is willing to go back to a pre-Reagan era of collaborative legislation. We need to vote the republican party out of relevance, and then vote the apologist democrats out if relevance to so we can get some actual election reform
That’s only gonna happen if you can get leftists to vote in local elections and primaries instead of getting pissed at moderates for picking the wrong candidate and opting out of the system. Conservatives are pretty awful, but every election plays out the same…all those complaining and claiming never-Trump status will all fall in line before November. Yeah, it makes a lot of them look spineless, but you can’t argue that they haven’t pulled their party in the direction they wanted.
100%, and I see SO MANY pissy high brow leftists working against their own best interests here on Lemmy. We need to show democrats that we have the voting power to stop the parade of neo liberals in big elections when the average democrat voter is social liberal (and the non-participant would be voters and third party voters are even more socially oriented than that)
I’m all for blaming Dems for being ineffectual cowards but this is one topic they have been very happy to shout about. As the artice points out, the media does not have to report it:
There’s also the fact that we have a very divided media and the media a lot of people get — and, more importantly, trust — does not tell them about things like this.

Actually, yes! I haven’t even read the rest of your comment yet.
God damn the DNC needs to go harder.

Then they have been shouting about it in the wrong places if 80% of Republican supporting women have no idea. Run some ads in more visible spaces.
