[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly—why don’t Dems just say it and run on it? We need more senators so we can restore balance to the court.  Haven’t seen any attempt at this messaging but I think it’s a winner.  Dem senators need to get in line with it—it’s got to happen.[/quote]

Because they've already said it. Some of us said over, and over, and over, and over again that THIS WOULD BE THE RESULT with a Republican Senate and President. We def sounded this alarm in the lead up to 2016.

And we were ignored b/c people "didn't like Hillary."

So.

Here.We.Are. And we can't undo it at this point. Not in the short term. Only in the very long term. We are stuck with this for a generation. [/quote]

Are the Dems in the Senate really such cowards? It just makes me sick. End the filibuster and restore balance to SCOTUS.  Why isn’t this what they’re running on?[/quote]

DP.  People fear change.  Part of why abortion is proving to be an effective issue for democrats so far this election cycle is that people are afraid of what might happen now that abortion laws have changed, and would prefer to stick to the pre-Dobbs status quo.  Campaigning on fundamental changes to SCOTUS will have the opposite effect for many people, driving them away from democrats because they would fear this change and the unknowns that would flow from it.

This is at least an explanation but I don’t know that you are correct.  People understand  that an out of control SCOTUS took their rights away.  Just needs repeating. Then the solution, restoring balance to the court, doesn’t sound scary.[/quote]
