(3,816 posts)Do not let them hide behind "The SCOTUS picks I voted for said they would stand by precedent."
Make them stand up and say "NO - WOMEN HAVE NO CHOICE"
Since only 25-35% of people agree with that, it might win us a few swing states in the Senate.
Heck, between this vote and the January 6th commission, it might even put Iowa in play when it comes out that Grassley was part of the insurrection and voted against this.
I don't care if we lose the vote on this law this month. I think it will have a bigger impact in November.
That is how you make Maserati Manchin and Cinema Synema irrelevant -- we get to 53 or more.
The Rs never had to take heat for votes because McTurtle never called them. We rarely make them stand up and put on the record a vote on a law that we think will not get past the filibuster. We need to start to do this on every issue.
Abortion.
Child tax credit.
Lowering the Medicare age (either 62 to match social security or 60, don't care which, it's a start)
Student loan forgiveness up to$25K for UNDERGRAD loans
Assault weapons ban
Mandatory background checks
Repealing the tax breaks for all over $400K income
the list goes on... make them have to defend what they voted against that people want.
That is how you win. The election won't be about CRT, BLM, or defund the police. It will actually be about who voted for what people want.
