the nonsense about Roe v Wade "no longer being an 'important issue'" was just ludicrous RW talking points promoted by so-called "pollsters" (who completely failed this election season), and the lazy MSM that went along with that idiocy. Gotta keep that momentum going to get Roe codified in federal law.

Am at least glad that here in PA, we once again defied "precedent" and elected a governor of the same party, back-to-back, and he will continue to keep reproductive rights in place here. And if we Democrats take control of the state House (as is hoped), then even bringing an abortion-banning Amendment to the state Constitution, as the GOP loons had started doing last year, will be DOA. The amendment process doesn't need a signature of the governor and is something that would need to be passed by both chambers of the state Assembly in 2 consecutive legislative sessions, before being sent to the voters as a ballot initiative. And even if this did happen, based on the results of other states doing it, such an amendment probably would have failed here too.

Inflation caused by greedy oligarchs and GOP loving businesses.

Crime caused by too many guns available (GOP tactic)

We need to keep their Supreme Court ruling #1
