(53,661 posts)Ignore them, for they are not the voices that will rise in the coming days, months and years. They are not the voices of our collected humanity.
They are the old voices of fear and impotence.
But only if we GOTV, do we hold to our values. Otherwise, they'll continue usurping us in government and society.

(9,214 posts)Yes I am being serious. The trend for women's rights has been sloping downward for the last few years.
There appear to be some, maybe many that view "The Handmaidens Tale" not as a dystopia but as a utopia and are doing what they can to achieve that goal. And don't be fooled, not all of them are men.

(21,529 posts)They need to highlight the erosion of women's rights and their plan to reverse these horrible decisions, but they need to impress on the voting public that they need the support of women for their local Democrat in the House or Senate this fall if they are going to be able to help women.
These should be nationwide commercials encouraging women to reach out to their local candidate to find out what they intend to do for women. If they can use the hobby Lobby outrage to stoke women and encourage them to vote in large number, they can do serious damage in the midterms. But if they let the outrage that exists now just dwindle into apathy, they will lose this opportunity to motivate the electorate.
Pay for and run spots NOW.... get people thinking and talking... then come back hard in October prior to the election.

(13,685 posts)Seems to me like a very large percentage of women don't consider women should have the rights they deserve. And that makes me wonder why we men DUers are getting beat up on, when most of us vote for women's rights every chance we get.
Women seem might divided, and that's a problem, eh?
