I remember way back when, as I was told by someone on here that said Democrats don’t believe in unrestricted abortion.   
 

 

That is why it is hard to vote for Democrats in these national focused elections if you are pro-life

Thats a very quick soundbite capitalizing on a limited information.  A longer interaction would include more information, like the reasons for late term abortions and how rare they are.  Buttigieg explains it succinctly here.

Did the Dems peak too soon?   Should they have emphasized inflation (It's the economy stupid) over abortion?

Two articles and a poll show a lean towards the GOP.

Emphasizing inflation risks getting blamed for it. Dems are in an impossible position, however I would say that Abortion, erosion of Democracy, etc. has greatly helped them. 

 

Instead of losing 40-50 House seats and 6 Senate seats in a normal midterm wave, they're likely to "only" lose 20-25 House seats and 1-2 Senate seats. Now, this isn't enough to prevent House Republicans from sabatoging the economy, entitlements, etc. in order for they to easily win a trifecta in 2024, but the reality is the Abortion/Democracy under threat issue HAS helped them. It simply isn't enough.

You know he is weak & pathetic, but let's focus on the fact that SHE is strong, and educated, and motivated, and driven.  She doesn't look like a good option just because he's a bad one.  (I know i"m preaching to the choir a bit here, but it's worth saying).  Val is tough as nails and very qualified for the job.
