1. Hopefully it backfires and pisses off Rep. and Indy women

2. Her resume puts them to shame and they don't like educated women..black or white or any minority

They won’t even invite Nicki Haley to speak at their convention and she’s one of their own.

3. Gosh

If blacks knew of this attitude against them ahead of time they would have never freely came to America in large numbers.

4. I remember learning about the Civil Rights Movement in 9th grade Social Studies a few decades ago

And it seems like recently we're going backwards, not forward - what does it take??

[BOSSHOG]

5. Conservatives

Play to their strengths of lying, manipulating, using and pretending to be badasses. Especially the rich ones who were conspicuously absent on January 6th. And will be absent if their dunderhead followers do dunderhead stuff in the future. And they will anticipate their dunderheads will not meet resistance. Surprise.

It’s sad My Dear. What Does it Take? A heart full of Love and a desire to know stuff. Conservative foot soldiers have no use for either playing right into the hands of their manipulators.

7. What shocked me was learning that the KKK is still active in the state of Tennessee

When the Tennessee Three story made the news. I thought that belonged to another century - but we're learning it's still alive and well now. And these are the ones that the Republicans are attempting to appeal to.

6. That is all they have.

Racism and sexism. I would actually be thrilled to see Kamala Harris as President someday.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. And yet the Republicans are attempting to sideline women by taking away their rights

I think of all the female leaders throughout the world - Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Mary Robinson, Margaret Thatcher, Benazir Bhutto - leaders from decades ago, yet this country has never had a female leader and the chances seem to be getting worse.

9. So true.

10. Thanks! Good one!

And by banning birth control, they're sending women back to the previous century - raising the children and remaining in the kitchen. Or, when pregnancies go wrong, denying them medical care and killing them off.

[LiberalLoner]

11. Yup. I can't understand how this is happening. Are there that many people who want this or are okay with it???

[Rhiannon12866]

12. Yet when abortion rights are on the ballot, voters approve these rights in big numbers, like in Kansas

That's why the Republican party has abruptly stopped talking about this issue.

[Kath2]

15. So true!

I believe in abortion rights. Everyone in my social circle does. My hardcore Catholic family is the exception but they are definitely outnumbered.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. I'm in New York and I know no one who is against abortion rights, including Catholic friends and colleagues

In some cases, which we continue to hear about, it's a matter of life and death.

[Kath2]

18. It really is.

Bless you. Every woman in this world deserves choice.

17. We worked hard here in KS,

and still they keep on trying to get our rights stripped thru the backdoor. They never let up. You see, they KNOW they know better than us proletariat. We're just stupid wage slaves... they know what's best for us and they won't stop until they get it mandated. They just can't believe how many women -- D and R -- want the option to control their own lives! And especially women... OMG! That can't be allowed to happen. After all, it's because of us Hell exists, don't ya know! Lillith wouldn't obey Adam and was stripped of her right to be in the Garden. Eve gave Adam the forbidden apple (yeah, right..) we women are the root of all evil in the world! /snark.

[Kath2]

13. I totally agree.

There have been many excellent candidates over the years, Hillary Clinton being one of them, but no. And you are correct - they are taking away our rights, piece by piece, little by little. I don't know if it sidelines us or energizes us. We should all want change. I really believe that if Hillary Clinton won that election, this country and world would be in a much better place.

[Rhiannon12866]

14. There's no question that Hillary was the better candidate, yikes!

And she did receive the votes of the people, three million more of us, but thanks to the outmoded Electoral College, that three million of us were disenfranchised and the result was a mess - and millions of deaths from Covid - that Joe Biden is still cleaning up. That's why the Republicans will never vote to get rid of it, it's their only hope of a "win."

19. 🌺All Dems need to have Kamala's back -- no ifs, ands, or buts
