I hope that the Democrats and fucking consultants and think tank spawns saw Trump's abortion announcement scam of saying that abortion should be left up to the states and realize what is going on. No it's not that he's lying that's a given (he'll invoke the Comstack Act if he gets in) but it's that Trump understands that abortion is the winning coalition issue of our time!
👀👀
I was reading earlier today (Mon. April 8) and had to stop because the idiot who was being interviewed a professional Democrat consultant man that worked with Obama’s 2012 campaign said that abortion is important but it really doesn’t show up as a big issue in the focus groups 'we haven't seen it be a motivator for many women as much as you think' !!!! How could this person be getting a paycheck??! Have you not seen the continual avalanches around the country? Why do you think Trump took time out of playing golf, screaming on social media, pocketing more money and schemes, to film and pamper himself in makeup and rehearse the script that he gave, that abortion should be left to the states while throwing the evangelical forced birthers and death cultists a bone calling Democrat radical leftist supporting babies being executed? This fascist maniac knows what's up! Do the people around Biden know? If Biden can get bullied into student loan forgiveness (remember he helped make it where you couldn't file bankruptcy for student debt payments, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/dec/02/joe-biden-student-loan-debt-2005-act-2020, and that's a huge reason Elizabeth Warren got into politics) and now he just came out trying to help more people out of student debt? So then someone can certainly try harder to bully him on this abortion issue. A Mary Lands the Alabama landslider type might be the right tone and flavor.

Since obviously lived through Tuesday to see the draconian horror of Arizona supreme court, this is more potent than ever. I honestly don't know how the anti voting left segment's rhetoric are not going to become repellant to the average non-theocratic person's ears at this rate.
We need to be freed from these forced birth terrorists but they have built such a feverish dedicated network of people (not including buying the GOP) who will harass, threaten, attack and attempt kill you if try organizing to protect reproductive freedoms. But how are we are just suppose to sit back and keep continuing to fucking take it though. Why do we have to play nice and polite?
I think also that solely framing it as a woman's issue is not even enough, though I understand that sounds naive but this affects men, not only be trans inclusive of course but men, young and old and boys, because they care about their partners, wives, mothers, nieces, aunts, friends, and people in their community who can become pregnant. I just think a lot about my time canvasing and meeting men who told me all on their own this was a huge concern for them without me poking or asking. It was really eye opening and incredibly moving to me, a person who is weary to hold up much hope in others caring about things outside themselves. For my canvasing partner an older white religious man (who would fit a demographic of being anti choice) fighting for abortion rights and freedoms was a huge issue for him. My other canvassing partner an Hispanic woman said this issue had large support in the community. As there was an assumption I saw in the political consultant class to some lefties online that because a lot of Hispanics are religious this wouldn't be a big issue but it was.
This a strange bellwether moment politically. You can feel it though right? Trump sure as fuck did he told Lindsey Graham off on his social media and Kari Lake who was saying this was wrong even though she supported it in her 2022 election! Run that tape Ruben! Collin in Texas play over and over again Cruz saying he does not support abortion even in cases of rape and incest from a 2015-16 election campaign interview. It's all there for you Democrats you have avoided this issue in real substantial ways for years.
I don't expect and would never ask anyone who is Muslim, Arabic, Palestinian to hold it for Biden. Cornel West a fine academic is not coming to save us and anti-vax Green Jill Stein is not either. If you don't want to vote then that's what tens of millions of people will do anyway but telling other people and trying to influence them in the general election saying Biden is no different then Trump, seriously you got eyes and ears and a critical thinking working mind right?
Whatever happens in November abortion will be a winner whether Biden wins or not yet his loss will be an enormous loss for abortion and it will be a longer battle when Trump invokes the Comstock Act. But I'll keep some ramblings ongoing till then and after.
