Roe Overturned

[MiloMorai]

He didn't hint, he stated clearly that other rulings should be looked at, for the same judicial overreach that was problematic in Roe.

That was the headline for the article.

Then wouldn't that have to be a fed ban?  As my MIL has meds shipped?

I guess not since abortion doesn't need to be banned federally to be banned in Texas.

[knorB]

Wasn't that poll taken before the decision was announced?

They have been stoking it since the leak

In a normal cycle I agree with that.  But there are always highly emotional issues that can override that.

For instance, imagine the Dems tossed the filibuster and shoved through legislation to confiscate all firearms in the US.

Do you think that or inflation would be the hottest topic by election day?

Long way till Nov.  If you don't have the gas to go buy the even higher inflated priced groceries.

That was the headline for the article.

A clickbait headline? My goodness, what is the world coming to.

[MiloMorai]

Why would he be honest when he can lie to troll?

Well, we'll see.  I think inflation will be starting to trend better by Nov.  This issue will only be ramping up further.

Regardless, there is no rational way you could say this isn't a HIGHLY motivating issue for the Dems.  And the biggest problem they were facing was Dems having an enthusiasm gap to get their troops to show up at the polls in Nov.  That has suddenly been solved.  And Dems will be more motivated by this issue than annoyed by inflation.  I'm not suggesting this will convert any Republicans.    Though there might be a significant number of moderate Republican women that won't like this and just might stay home in Nov.

The R's still have the trend\structural advantage in the mid-terms, but it's now a toss-up instead of a walk-away.

Ohh I agree we will see how this plays out.  It is a long time to maintain that amount of rage, though.
This Inflation thing is not going to go away any time soon. The next hit is otw come late summer, early fall.

As for moderate repub women, they will be more worried about feeding the kids they already have and putting gas in the minivan to get to the soccer game.

Not to mention their decimated 401Ks.

I'm not saying inflation won't be any part of the conversation, I'm just saying for women (51% of the electorate)  this issue might override all other considerations. 

Again, the closest analog I can think of to help you understand the level of anger here for women is image the Feds came to your house to confiscate your guns.  Do you really think in that case the prices of gas would be the higher ranked concern?  Or supposed they tried to shut down all churches who they think have been propagating political views.  You think evangelicals would be more interested in the price of eggs?

I'm not seeing protests like this over the high cost of ribeyes (although being on the Carnivore diet I'm considering it  ).

The words of Chris Morris, the author of the article.

The mature thing to do is to understand the underlying facts instead of posting low grade click bait to troll with.  Not any different with Arlo's revised version of stacking the court.

We would all be better off if we didn't have to keep being dragged down by childish trolling.

[knorB]

I'm not saying you are wrong, as it is well within the range of possibilities. We'll see come Nov how this plays out.

[Arlo]

No one is going to accuse you of being emotionally mature.

Projection doesn't excuse behavior. Luckily, the current lack of moderation allows for those that are too emotionally stunted to act out on the forum. Enjoy. Not like it matters. Surely -gg- will keep her two forums up and running, just in case, though.

Agreed.  At least unlike endless philosophical debates, it's a falsifiable thesis.   

One way or another we will see it in the numbers come Nov.  I still give the R's better than even odds just because that is the statistical bias for first term mid-terms.

Yes, you and milo both have been given a reprieve.

[Arlo]

Among you and many others?

aww, crying about no skuzzy, again.  Such adulting.
