What happened to the surge in women voters in response to Dobbs?

2. Gas prices.

People will trade their rights for cheap fuel.

3. Dobbs was in June

A lifetime ago in politics.

4. ultimately voters are selfish

unless you are a young woman, Dobbs is very unlikely to impact you directly.

Between crime and inflation, this year it is very easy for voters to turn inward and forget about the rights that have been taken from the women around them.

The average voter is selfish, stupid, and short sighted.

5. My question as well.

Guess women’s lives just don’t mean as much as a tank of gas to some idiots.

Sorry, but my generation fought hard for the right to choose and I am very disappointed. There shouldn’t be a Republican candidate winning a single race tonight.

6. We'll have plenty of time tomorrow and later... to dissect the election

If Juries and Admin will allow it.

8. Yes, I want to know who didn't vote.

I wonder about the young people too.

It strikes me that perhaps many don't
think it really matters for them to vote,
thatthey don't have skin in the game.

7. Damn good question! /nt

9. It happened and prevented a blowout.

However, in the end two things matter. First, Democrats do better when they talk about the economy. Simple messages that tar and feather the oligarchs and say in broad terms how we're going to help average people. If we don't, we lose. Second, we need a damn rock star. we've got some on the bench, and that bench was joined this evening by Wes Moore and Josh Shapiro. I would have put Fetterman on that list pre-stroke, but such is life.

But in the end, all of our hopes lie on a charismatic, well-spoken, likable and fresh person at the helm in '24 or '28. The electorate is inclined to vote for democrats, but the focus on Trump, democratic governance, and abortion rights doesn't win elections, as vital as they all are.
