Roe v. Wade is gone.

Disagree. This is pretty likely to get the American ‘left’ mobilized - most USians didn’t want Roe overturned and continue to support access to abortion services. The state-level moves against abortion are unpopular even among most republicans. There’s a better-than-even chance that this is going to increase voter turnout among pro-choice Democrats, Republicans and independents.

I don't know about that. Liberals have sucked on just about every issue for the past 40 years on keeping focus on what the GOP has, filling judge seats and districting. Our politicians for far too long have compromised in the false hope that Republicans were honest players, and we increasingly cant afford to keep swallowing that garbage.

That is not only nonsensical and wrong, it has nothing to do with what I said.

Republicans made a wedge issue out of abortion. Now that Roe is officially over and done with, the wedge no longer exists. The ‘left’ in the US is absolutely seething over this decision. Look for an historically high turnout of pro-choice voters in November and for significant numbers of anti-woman office holders to be voted out.
