I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but if the economic numbers continue to improve, maybe issues like Trump’s behavior, Jan 6, and abortion rights will carry the day for the Democrats.

They really really really need to start talking about all of what they actually have done. GOP constantly complains about everything but the Dems appear reluctant to take credit.
I completely are with the idea of Biden signing the new law and handing out “I did that” stickers. Lean into the meme. Look at Chicago - our mayor consistently makes exactly the wrong choice yet unbelievably became liked when she leaned into the meme about being everywhere watching you. The majority of people can remember a TV theme song or commercial jingle but can’t name 10 presidents.

Obviously one shouldn’t have to have a daughter to have some basic human empathy for the rights of women and girls but I guess it’s still better to start caring about that stuff after fatherhood than to never start caring about it at all.

I saw an “I did that” sticker on a gas pump pointing at the prices.
Funny enough it was at a time when gas prices were going back down so I guess it sort of backfired on whoever did it.

It is baffling how anyone can vote for a Republican when they are standing right up and proudly being the party of “Raped 10 years olds must carry the child to term.”

Listening to the clip there is a point where one of the presenters guesses that Dads don’t want the government to have a say in a decision until they meet with the Mom Dad Preacher Dr, mental health provider, and make a decision together.
What the hell is wrong with just saying “I dont want the government to have a say in my daughters decision”. The rest of the people in that list can keep their mouths shut…

Folks in general don’t much cotton to having their rights taken away by big government, case in point the Kansas referendum. The Dems need to be shouting this from the rooftops every damn day until November! Meanwhile ironic how ‘Morning Joe’ still can’t let his wife finish a sentence without incessantly interrupting. Some habits die hard what a schmuck.

I can barely stand to listen to Morning Joe because of how dismissive and disrespectful Joe is with Mika. I don’t know how she puts up with the constant over-talking he does when she’s just trying to read some information to the audience. I have to wonder what home life is like for the two of them.
As for this bit of news, I know a fellow who was a lifelong Republican … until his wife flipped, and then his two daughters piled on, making him understand what a disaster Trump was. He finally came into the light. It seems all too rare, but it does happen.

I saw part of one – someone had already peeled away most of it (and this was in a very red-voting area). Conversely, there was still an “I can fix this”, with a picture of you-know-who, on another pump. I peeled it off and stuck it on the cigar ad next to the pump – no it doesn’t make any sense, but I felt better.

I notice the poll is only 1,002 people, tho.

As long as the sample is random, 1,002 is plenty enough.

It’s probably too much to hope they all vote ‘D’ in November, so I hope they decide to sit this one out, instead.
Meanwhile:
Texas Republicans have filed a petition to knock 23 Libertarian candidates off the November ballot.
Pretty sure they wouldn’t be doing this if they weren’t worried about votes being siphoned off.

If every woman had a dime for every time we’ve had a dude tell us in a roundabout way that they now care about womens’ rights because they have a daughter. 
Oh, NOW you care. Great, I guess.
