@LiberalLibrarian Poly Sci is wild. Make the war call your issue and it pays dividends for decades.
Call the vanguard to charge and split the enemy's lines, and they do it successfully, you've now lost the momentum, battle and war.
And anyone with half a brain has been saying this very same thing, for decades now.
Never give them what they "want." (See Democrats and Environmental protection policies for a comparison.)

@LiberalLibrarian But NYT expert-on-all-subjects Dave Leonhardt says abortion has no *electoral* impact against Rs because he forgets swing states exist.
@RationalLeft Why doesn't he run for something?

@LiberalLibrarian I hope the backlash will be swift and severe this election, and that the issue will be a loser going forward because they know what happens when the GQP talks like about repealing Roe now. #politics
