15. That 48% Are Cons

Specifically white protestant and would never vote for a Dem in the first place.

“As we approach the 44th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide, more Americans than ever before oppose overturning it — a clear rebuttal of President-elect Trump’s anti-Roe position.
Recent research from the Pew Research Center indicates that 69 percent of Americans — or 7 in 10 — say Roe v. Wade should not be completely overturned. This represents a 6-point increase in the number of individuals who expressed this sentiment just a few years ago.

Democrats are more likely to support Roe v. Wade than their Republican counterparts: 84 percent of Democrats say the Supreme Court should not completely overturn Roe (an increase of 9 percentage points from 2013), compared to 53 percent — still a narrow majority — of Republicans.”

Rev. Sharpton was on MJ this morning talking about how Dems don't dance with the ones who brought them but are always going after the ones who don't even like them. And you know, we've held both houses of Congress, together and separately and we didn't have to give away our rights or appease others to do so. So why must we do so now.
