For those wondering how the hell Gary Peters can be in such danger from John James, here’s my take as a native Michigander:
1. First, Gary is a great guy, a great Senator and a pretty good candidate. 1/
2. Having said that, he’s also very low-key and a behind-the-scenes work horse type; his name isn’t always in the news, meaning he’s still unknown to a lot of Michiganders despite being in the Senate for six years.
3. In the 2014 red wave, Peters was the only bright for Senate Dems. Again, he was a good candidate but he benefited greatly by his opponent being the worst Senate candidate in the history of ever, Terri Lynn Land.
⚠️ As Senate Republicans continue packing the court, here's your daily reminder of how many Americans would lose healthcare coverage if the #ACA is struck down by the Trump/GOP lawsuit in all 435 Congressional Districts. acasignups.net/20/09/29/how-m…
FANTASTIC response. I'm stunned at how many people seem to be under the delusion that a woman will carry a pregnancy for 7 or 8 months and then suddenly, out of the blue, decide that they don't want to have a baby after all on a whim and undergo a medical procedure to stop it.
On top of everything else, how many people say to themselves, "you know what I feel like doing today? Undergoing a medical procedure which involves someone messing with my reproductive organs"?
I'm not a woman, but I'm guessing it isn't a particularly enjoyable experience.
Another way of underscoring Buttigieg's framing:
Imagine the "Married Life" sequence from "Up".
Now imagine that Ellie was *heavily pregnant* in the second shot.
Most of the focus is rightly on the WH and Senate, but this is EXACTLY why I’m also raising money to help Dems #ExpandTheHouse. Donate to the following races today... 1/
This year has reminded us how vitally important GOVERNORS (#COVID19 response), ATTORNEYS GENERAL (defending the #ACA & voting rights) and SECRETARIES OF STATE (protecting voting rights) are! Donate to elect #MoreDemExecs today! 2/ #DemCast secure.actblue.com/donate/gov_ag_…
Here’s the thing: I’d be busting my ass for not just Biden but Dems up and down the ballot JUST AS HARD even if I was 100% certain that he was going to win both the popular AND Electoral College, for several reasons:
First, because we have to run up the score as much as possible to counter/minimise all of the GOP voter suppression/legal challenge bullshit.
Second, because the more we run up the score for Biden/Harris, the better chance we have of flipping the Senate, expanding the House and flipping state legislatures, which makes actually passing & implementing legislation easier (or even possible in the case of the Senate).
