To counter Republicans now decades long obstruction, counter programming propaganda & marketing as a cover for their ignorance & inability to craft legislative policies Democrats MUST develop a communications & messaging strategy that exposes & is non-stop. This is...
critical to future success of the country and both parties. It might actually force the GOP to start showing some competence. The GOP purposefully chooses party over the American people. Democrats must educate folks about this. Even when the Republicans get the
bipartisanship they say they want they’ll turn around and vote against it or if in #MoscowMitch Senate refuse to bring it to even bring it to a vote.
Voters need to understand if they want something accomplished we must elect...
Democrats up/down the ballot until the GOP gets it shit together.

WHAT THE TEXAS GOP and conservative SCOTUS have done to women’s healthcare is unforgivable and even scarier than just an across the board ban on abortion.
BOUNTY HUNTERS NEXT: Pharmacists and their clerks across the country earning min. wage or $15/hr will not be able to…
…resist reporting *every* woman who gets a:
Morning after pill,
Birth control pills,
An IUD,
Shots,
Implants, etc.
Has a miscarriage
IMAGINE: the monetary value of such client databases. Wow.
IMAGINE: getting databases from healthcare providers of all women who’ve had…
…miscarriages.
These databases are now worth a boat-load of bounty money.
CONCERNED CITIZEN’S ORGANIZATIONS: will now *demand* and sue for databases from pharmacies, insurance companies, employers, healthcare companies, hospitals, contraceptive...

MY GRIPE: An authoritarian minded minority GOP has forced upon the majority a violent theocratic far right-wing swing to fascist hell in a hand basket.
Texas, where I live, is certainly leading the way. Killing and rigging voting & elections. Anti-masking & vaccines. Passing…
laws to hurt LGBTQ people.
Now women have lost agency over their own bodies as the state attacks health/abortion rights.
I was just a little guy in 1973 when Roe v. Wade was decided—so I didn’t completely understand it all. But I do recall (but for the religious right wing)…
women cheering and crying for JOY bcuz *all* of them had either had some horrifying experience or had a girl friend, or a daughter who had taken some terrifying drive out of town under cover of darkness. A midnight run.
My childhood community was mostly Catholic. Many of these…
POLITICAL JUNKIES GUIDE TO ELECTION NIGHT: HOW STATES COUNT THEIR VOTES AND EXPECTATIONS
Source: National conference of state legislatures • (1): Expanding eligibility refers to states that normally require an excuse to vote by absentee/mail ballot but have expanded eligibility in 2020 temporarily. States tagged "N/A" did not require an excuse prior to COVID-19.
(2): Refers to states that are mailing applications for absentee/mail ballots to voters proactively. (3): Refers to states that are mailing ballots to all eligible voters, no request needed.
@glennkirschner2 We are in a constitutional crisis. Now that it’s obviously happening the pundits don’t even mention it. Before they excitedly speculated “will x, y, z lead to a constitutional crisis?” As amazing as the constitution and subsequent institutions are...it pretty much all been...
@glennkirschner2 gutted by a confluence of motivations that share the end goal of power, domination by any means. The constitution was founded, in part, on an idea of shared values and honor. In the end, the Constitution has not survived the norm-breaking and lawlessness. All three branches...
@glennkirschner2 of government and stoic institutions have failed. Even the press has failed we’ve allowed the dominance of something like a FoxNews. Rather than shake our heads at the idiots who swallow this swill, we should instead wonder how the fcc, govt. etc. could allow Fox to continue...
Both Democrats and Republicans have basically killed the filibuster rules on all judicial nominations. All that’s left of the filibuster is the ability to obstruct legislation. The so called “soul of the Senate” is basically dead already. There’s nothing Ds can do to stop Rs...
from filling the seat. Nothing. When Ds take the Senate on Jan. 3, there’s no reason for them to hold onto this last vestige of the filibuster—which was essentially a mistake to begin with. Although, sure do wish Ds had it now to block Trumps RBG SCOTUS replacement. I think...
the structure of the Senate need to be drastically changed because it is *not* a democratic institution. Why should the senators from Wyoming with a population of just less that 600,000 have the same vote as the senators from California with a population of over 39,000,000.
