That would have been a nice time to introduce this bill and codify Roe v Wade.
But then Democrats would have had to handle the backlash of an energized conservative movement and the complacency of a satisfied base. Now Democrats get enormous cash injections every time a Republican takes another swing at women’s health and can force any leftists to knuckle under when presented with the Serial Rapist Loud And Proud Woman Hater candidate running against the Slimy Moderate Corporate Shill Who Definitely Isn’t Going to Get MeToo’d Six Weeks Into Office.
The Dems do nothing when they have a majority and pretend to try to help when they have no chance of helping.
And they benefit enormously from this strategy, because liberals displace blame to the left and right of the Do-Nothing Party.
They’ve fully bought into the theory that conservatives must be pandered to and leftists must be disciplined into compliance. And this is the only way anyone wins elections.
Also don’t forget that the rich oligarchs that control the DNC and the Super PAC money also don’t want leftist policies.
Neoliberals have access to the same polling data as the rest of us, they know which policies are popular with their voters, but they choose to not pursue what’s popular
The biggest motivation for the DNC has and always will be their rich owners.
