Privately, several Democratic strategists have suggested the usefulness of any court decision on abortion next year will be limited, and some may advise their clients not to focus on abortion rights at all

“It’s going to be a voting issue,” Murdock said. “It will be part of the myriad of issues, because voters are multi-faceted … You can be concerned about gas prices and still be concerned about having the right to do what you want to do with your body.”

June falls squarely in the middle of the midterm year, that is also four full months before the election — an eternity in modern politics. “It absolutely is going to be a huge part of the election,” she said. “We’ve seen the way this issue can affect races on the margins.” “I think it’s an issue for certain constituencies, and I think it could be motivating for certain parts of the base for Democrats, and I think that’s ultimately how we have to view it,” said Danielle Cendejas, a Democratic mail strategist whose firm did campaign mail for both of Obama’s presidential campaigns.

These people are about to get handed the midterms on a silver platter and they’re still going to ruin it? Care to explain DNC why you think backing away from promising to protect women’s rights will make you lose? What else will you back away from if it’s not “useful” to you?

These people are about to get handed the midterms on a silver platter and they’re still going to ruin it?

What *do* Democrats stand for at this point anyway? Are they just Republicans from the 2000s at this point?

But we should “Vote Blue No Matter Who” anyway, right?

'The vast majority of liberal Democrats and Democratic leaners support legal abortion (89%)' believe abortion should be legal according to Pew.

Democrats shouldn't listen to Democratic strategists and their PowerPoint wisdom.

Yeah we get it y'all wanna lose in 2022 stop reminding us

Democrats again secretly saying they are afraid. Men.

ccpecknold Go figure that there is a significant number of Prolife people who support Democratic economics that got left behind by the party. Shocking.

Politico rag.

is a RW rag and ALWAYS has been! 💔🇺🇸💰 samstein

Politico trying to outdo itself with the worst political counsel and perspective.

And how do they know it won't motivate more conservatives to come out and vote?

This is the dumbest headline ever

McAuliffe made it a centerpiece of his campaign. It was indeed a motivator - for Republican voters - far more than for Democratic voters. The more McAuliffe hammered on it, the more voters Youngkin got out.

some Democrats believe the most effective use of the .... decision next year may not be to highlight Democratic positions on abortion at all — but rather, to depict it as an issue Republicans are obsessed with at the expense of more pressing concerns like the economy and jobs.

TheDemocrats DNC dccc harrisonjaime HouseDemocrats SenateDems dscc this is sick and if democracy ends it is YOUR fault for being weak after Americans voted and donated and volunteered. Shame on you! I’m in Texas. Rights are already GONE. I’m filled with anger toward you.

So women's rights be damned, huh?

LOL. Useless.

JonLemire Yeah let’s let the handwringing consultants make Dems wishywashy on women’s liberty. That will work.

🙄

Clueless.

dem strategists: we’ve gotten by so far without offering anything to our voters. Just keep legislating for billionaires. What are they going to do? Vote for the Green Party?

Abortion is not the issue. Women being classified as second-class citizens who are prevented from making decisions about their bodies will be. And Rebuplicans own it.

See how Republicans win? Democrats back off every challenge

Evergreen

My body, My choice That's nothing about women's right at all. Nothing about sexual equality. It's only about to cancel a person's value. You guys think a baby's life is not really important because it's cell. Oh, but why did you call things live in Mars “lifes”?

I agree.

I just wanna say a big thank you to Dennismayson9 I was nobody until a friend of mine introduced me into investing with you, Since then it's been nothing but financial 💰 Success for me. I will invite my friends and family into your company Dennismayson9 you are the best💯🤞

Old lady now and had 3 kids per my husband. Also an RN. Why are we not talking more on use of birth control and for men also to use.? Today you can get free birth control . Now things to take before you might have sex and also right after a pill? Not want to kill a baby 6 mo?

Democratic strategists: famous for having their finger on the pulse. Brought to you by Chillary Clinton and 'medicare for all who want it, but not really'

Unacceptable.

Fire those strategists. I was so exhausted by the push to organize GOTV and give that I wasn’t going to engage anymore. This is life and death for women and it fires me up like nothing else.

Let’s wait until it is actually overturned. This is weak journalism.

I hate both parties equally, but why the hell would you vote Republican 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️😂😂😂 Lesser of 2 evils is required here.🤷🏻‍♂️

There's so many Republicans out there that believe in a woman's right to choose. They just live in the imaginary fantasy land where voting Republican didn't mean taking a woman's choice away or preventing ppl from marrying who they love. It's about time there's a wake up call.

JonLemire Politico I’m being real Wtf is this

JonLemire This is bullshit. If anyone thinks Democratic women are ignoring the gutting of their personal freedoms and rights, they aren’t listening. I absolutely want my candidate to loudly proclaim women’s rights.

Democratic strategists need to get better at their jobs.

* Ah hem- Birthing Persons

JonLemire What a minute. CRT is going to save the Republican Party and have them take the house, but women’s reproductive rights is a losing issue? Wtf.

Because if SCOTUS overturns RvW it's essentially over unless they can do a constitutional amendment. The chance of that is nearly zero. Can probably lay this squarely on RBG for not stepping down when she could do Obama could appointment her replacement. She screwed many over

JonLemire Pretty sure those strategists are men.

Nothing like perpetuating the idea that campaigning is the job rather than legislating and fighting for what they campaigned on and we're elected to do. 🙄

How about why it won’t help the Republicans future either.

I call BS. Revoking women’s right to bodily autonomy is very worthwhile going on election to remedy. Democrat strategists sometimes suck.

I think this is BS. American women will absolutely vote Dem to codify reproductive rights. You guys are lying

Freedom of religion appears to be in direct contradiction of freedom of speech, as this thread illustrates. Think we can start with this, to help build a bigger wall between church & state, which should make the state a lot more sober
