Cassidy Accuses Dems Of Using SCOTUS ‘Theater’ To Distract From Other Issues

Exactly! He wasn’t up there bragging about how the Texas GOP has achieved a policy goal they have pursued for 40 years. He wasn’t talking about how other states would now follow TX’s lead in overturning Roe. He said “gulp! Never mind that, let’s talk about Afghanistan”

Yep! That’s such a good point. Getting abortion legislation through SCOTUS has long been the stated goal of the GOP. However, the only GOPers who seem to have any interest at all in celebrating this idiotic accomplishment are GOPers who are planning to run for president.

The problem with Dem messaging is that it evolves into a lecture (which doesn’t fit on a bumper sticker) and is, therefore, ‘too elite’, too difficult to understand.

That and Dems have to speak to a wide variety of people who sometimes have competing interests. If, for instance, Dems only needed to worry about messaging to Black voters the way the GOP only concerns itself with straight, white, Christian voters, Dem messaging would be infinitely easier. Plus, Dems are held accountable by their voters. A Dem candidate can get sunk for saying, “Rule of thumb” while a Republican can break his wife’s thumbs and get reelected.

I agree with someone like Dean at the helm, but somehow his holler was totally disqualifying. Never understood that.

Hey Bill! While you, a male, opine in your special, exceedingly boring manner on what women are and are not allowed to do with their own bodies, Hurricane Ida ripped apart southeast Louisiana. Maybe, I don’t know, pay attention.
