Hopefully, the momentum from that filibuster will be a tipping point. I wish I could say with a 100% that it will.

The grass roots level has to be more robust. I believe those women could greatly help that. It can't hurt.

However, statewide elections also have major consequences. Governors wield veto power and can be an obstacle to those who are RW ideologues. Some governors do get overturned and ignored. They still matter..
