Democracy and Abortion are the keys to the 2024 election

The more we can bring these two issues forward, the better Biden's outlook.

We could really use Pro-Choice and Democracy marches every few months in 2024. (A prodemocracy march on the 4th of July would be great. Imagine the type of people would oppose it and, thereby, expose themselves for exactly who they are: right-wing clowns. thugs, and idiots.)

I think "Vote Democracy" and "2024: The Year of Democracy" would be effective on bumper-stickers and buttons.

Trump is trying to pre-empt the democracy issue and had signs printed for a recent rally in Iowa to the effect that Biden is trying to destroy democracy. But I think this will backfire or, at the least not work, for Trump, because of the recent history (including Jan.6) which we all share. His statements concerning what should be done to former officials, the press, and others, as well as the images of Jan. 6, make anti-democracy statements aimed at Biden laughable.

I think our best bet right now is to drill down on the democracy and abortion issues. We needn't ignore other things like his bills and remarkable success bringing NATO together, but I believe it's best to stress abortion and democracy.

What do you think?

I mean a Q&A much like these occasional journalist interviews of MAGA attendees. Their logic is deeply flawed. During the Vietnam War, schoolbooks with rote responses were in high schools to make sure youth understood why we were there. Communism and domino Theory and all that. We know it was really about oil in SE Asia and our allies there, but ... it got the job done for awhile. MAGA is brainwashed. They need deprogramming.
