When anti-choice politicians want to force a 10-year-old rape victim to give birth, it proves they don't care about a sexually violated child forced into compulsory pregnancy; when we're just a few years away from the point where any action we take may no longer make a difference on climate change and Republicans are still denying its existence; when a former U.S. President roams free after staging a violent coup against the legitimately elected President and steals top secret, nuclear documents on his way out the door, you must know that this election is critical, perhaps as much as any other in our collective history. Voters get to write American history and the future in this midterm election. By 2020, Trump was booted out by a record turnout of voters . It was the seventh time in the last eight presidential elections — since 1988 — that the majority of the American people voted FOR the Democrat and AGAINST the Republican . That’s right. Only once in those 34 years has a Republican won the presidential popular vote ( George W. in ‘04 , and just by one state). Only gerrymandering and voter suppression have allowed them to still hold any significant power. Kansas is the shot across the bow that declares their days are now coming to an end. There was, however, one lone voice of dissent: Michael Moore. In July 2016, Moore wrote "Five Reasons Trump Will Be President." That article mostly went unnoticed by mainstream media after the election, when everyone finally realized Moore was right but it was way too late to make a difference.

In each of the four Democratic-held seats targeted by the GOP (New Hampshire, Nevada, Arizona and Georgia) polls now show the incumbent Democrats ahead of their challengers. The senate polls look particularly bad in Arizona, where Mark Kelly is polling eight points above Blake Masters, who once favored abortion rights but now supports a nationwide ban and a “federal personhood law” for fetuses. There is a colossal uprising underway right now and it doesn’t involve an armed mob storming the Capitol, or a mass shooting at a July 4th parade, or guys I went to high school with trying to kidnap the governor of Michigan. Since huge majorities of Americans support Roe v. Wade and prioritize climate action, we think this will be an historic mid-term when voters reject the idea of 5, unelected justices and their accomplices in Congress making these existential decisions by fiat in our democracy, adversely impacting millions of women and their families. With the addition of support for Roe v. Wade to our national climate change voter's guide, for every incumbent and challenger for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate and Governors, Vote Climate U.S. PAC will help inform voter's decisions on climate-action and pro-choice candidates. Women in states like California, Illinois and New York who thought they had nothing to fear from draconian state bans on reproductive rights in places like Texas, Idaho and Alabama now have lots to worry about, thanks to the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. In the final weeks before the midterms, however, the question looms: Will Roevember become a reality? According to reproductive-rights leaders and political analysts, the answer is not as tidy or triumphant as the catchphrase.

So in a surprising turn of events, the Idaho Statesman, Boise's daily news paper, chose not to endorse Schmidt because he refused to denounce the Idaho Liberty Dogs. Instead, the paper endorsed his opponent , an 18-year-old high school senior and progressive activist, Shiva Rajbhandari, who was also co-founder of the Boise chapter of Extinction Rebellion. Republican women (73%) are more likely than Democratic (64%) or independent women (52%) to say they’ll definitely vote in the 2022 #MidtermElections. To celebrate this day, I’ve made a playlist, a mixtape of special music for a special day. Something to listen to while in line at your polling place. Or listen to it tonight as you fall asleep. Or if you’ve already voted, just put it in your ears or on your sound system and let ‘er rip all day long. Feel good. Be proud of what you’ve done. Enjoy this moment. Have a virtual dance with me! Get ready for the future. There is much to do.

Did not a single one of these right-wing judges and politicians realize women were now allowed to vote? That it’s been that way since 1920? The Supreme Court, while they were at it in June, should’ve taken that right away from them, too. History will note that fatal mistake of theirs became their undoing. Sherrill seemed to be referencing her opponent, former Assistant Passaic County Prosecutor Paul DeGroot, who has said he agrees with the Supreme Court’s decision but who has also called himself a “pro-choice Republican.” In fact, a delegation from DeGroot’s campaign came to today’s rally, though the candidate himself was unable to attend. The headline-behind-the-headlines is that mainstream and legacy media are only now covering abortion access as if Americans generally support it, and only recently writing about the issue from the lens that the GOP is out of touch with average folks who don’t love the idea of forcing people to stay pregnant against their will. In fact, it has always been strange, politically speaking, that abortion restrictions and bans have proliferated despite widespread support for abortion access, including historically bipartisan support for early abortion, and especially for access with so-called “exceptions” for rape, incest, and the life of the pregnant person (the reality of these exceptions in practice is highly debatable ). Abortion polling shows time and again that the question of abortion shows the vast majority of America to be purple-to-blue favoring legality and access. We do not live in a nation of “red” and “blue” geographies according to states; we live in a nation of big and loud “red” states— bolstered by Trump’s 2020 Census finagling —that have been representationally manipulated by Republicans who foresaw that they were on the losing end of progress, and who have not been meaningfully opposed in that aim because Democrats are maddeningly committed to playing by the rules in a game where the opposing team is cheating outright. Donald Trump lost the popular vote in 2016 with the help of voter-suppression tactics, and it is his Supreme Court that overturned Roe . Either everyone in the U.S. bears responsibility for that, or none of us does. (Spoiler: We all do.) I think we need to do more,” she said. “And I think we will do more. I don’t think, until we have full protections across this nation, we have done enough.”In the Keystone State, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who already seems out-of-touch with his recent comments about his 10 houses and with his disastrous shopping trip to “Wegmer’s” (he meant either Wegman’s or Redner’s,) for “crudités” (he meant “veggie platter”), is down by 11 points to the popular and affable Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. Oz’s position on abortion isn’t helping. According to PolitiFact , Oz supported the overturning of Roe and favors states setting their own abortion policies. That has real ramifications in Pennsylvania, where extremist GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano could sign abortion restrictions enacted by the Republican controlled legislature if elected. Rajbhandari won. A teenager beat a Republican incumbent in a traditionally red city in one of the reddest states. Moore's point is that if these kinds of seismic shifts are happening at the polls in Boise, there's reason to think that this election won't follow traditional patterns. Voters, he believes, have had enough of the power of right-wing extremists and the threat they pose to democratic values. On a press call yesterday, State Republican Chairman Bob Hugin said Sherrill’s persisent focus on abortion is a sign that she’s nervous about her re-election chances. If the patriarchy of the Republican Party, along with their white Supremacist co-horts and Catholic Church funders, didn’t understand the raging fire they had ignited, well, they do now. I mean, how angry, how committed do you have to be to drive to the polls on a near 100-degree day, stand in line for an hour — and then just go in and mark a single “X” on the ballot?!
