This let us pretend we are surprised thing is groundwork for November when the pundits will be all shocked and tell us we cannot take a victory lap because we did not win every single race and anyway, the poor righties are hurting
You see the problem with sampling women is that they got estrogen, so it's hard to extrapolate what is really going on in their minds. Better to sample men and then just dial back the dosage to $0.82 on the dollar.
Oh, horsefeathers, this election is an outlier. Women totally forgive you when you take away their rights and kick them in the teeth. It’s their nature to forgive and forget! You married men out there—you know what I’m talking about!
This is one of those things that a lot of women may not say a whole lot about in advance, but when it comes time to vote, this loss of a key right (bodily autonomy, without which you can't really be a full or equal citizen) will almost certainly weigh heavily on them. I think the Dems will do well in November, and the news from Alabama is absolutely fantastic.
And high-turnout contests. The vote in KS a couple of years ago was in an August primary, more people voted than in any primary in the state's history.
This is not a surprise. IVF is an expensive process. The IVF ruling is going to affect white women disproportionately because unfortunately black women in Alabama are more than likely to not be able to afford to do IVF.
Politico's poor-mouthing the Democrats' counterattack over reproductive rights is just another example of the wingnuts' almost complete capture of the mass media, pace their endless wailing about "liberal bias". They want to convince us that the battles they've won have already decided the war's outcome, so we should just give up hope and resign ourselves to minority rule, no matter how cruel, superstitious, racist and misogynist that monority is. A full-throated, no holds barred attack on this "fetal personhood" bullshit is urgently needed, because it is so blatant a violation of the Establishment Clause that it should have been quietly smothered on its first public appearance. It is the ultimate justification for ALL the rest of this evil shit, and it is nothing but a theological issue, without the slightest scientific/medical backing, just more "My irrational beliefs are so impacted in my thick skull that they trump your pointy-headed logic and reason, and I'll go on and on about it till death do us part". How many zygotes can dance on the head of a pin? Who the fuck cares, and why should we have to listen to the unhinged ravings of those to whom this is a deep existential question?
Golly, are you ladies still ON about that? It's like you have some kind of recurring alarm on your cell phone or something that reminds you to be mad about losing your right to make your own health care decisions all over again.
So an Alabama Democrat wo--ARE THOSE FLAKES? STINKY FLAKES OF GOD KNOWS WHAT? JUST FLOATING THERE? AAAAAAHHH YUM YUM YUM!

I love this woman, so glad she won by so much!
Lovely work!
Her opponent was like: "Eh, infrastructure issues are more important..." Are they really? I don't think so...
Also problematic if the followup is "Infrastructure is important, but we don't want to do anything about that, either."
I think the polls may be undersampling young women. Crazy talk I know, women are never underestimated...

Loved this so much I shared it on FB.
Goldfish LiBel!!!!!
"...at least in low-turnout contests"
And high-turnout contests. The vote in KS a couple of years ago was in an August primary, more people voted than in any primary in the state's history.
Wow, this is Fantastic news! Congrats Marilyn!!

Weird how the liberal media and polls keep showing the Dems as under-preforming. It’s almost like they want a horse race and a Republican win.
