I think Walz/Ocasio-Cortez would be a much more popular and palatable suggestion for the electorate, even though I personally prefer your proposal

I mean that's just not true. I thought everyone learned about how WWII offered women the opportunity to join the workforce in mass numbers for the first time because of the crucial roles that were left open by the men who were off to fight. That's what sparked the transition toward women's right to work at all. Before that, there was no such right. Unless you are counting cooking and cleaning at home, or tending the family farm, as "work", but I don't believe that's what people mean when we are referring to "a woman's right to work".

Rallying and engaging people in these states is absolutely crucial to any further strategy. There is nothing they can truly do to fight without tons of popular support. They are trying to reach some of the 90 million people who didn't care enough to vote last year, to ask them to start caring.

It's honestly the very best thing they can use their platform to do right now.

Not sure I'd pass the background check for that in CA. Years ago I had an unfortunate reaction to a new medication, suffered hallucinations from it, and was involuntarily committed for a few days (I was fully out of it) while I recovered. It's all documented.

They don't. Lines they claimed to have last year have been erased and moved further out. They'll keep moving them.

Huh? That other person seems calm and respectful too. What do you mean?

What will that do and how will it help all of the people in her same position?
