Hey @RickPetree look what the angry women in Alabama have done! I can’t wait to see it happen everywhere.

@MaryaPetry Excellent news. Yes, it’s coming, all over the country. GOP lit its own funeral pyre.
@RickPetree @MaryaPetry I swear if Dems can pull this off there will be no greater testament to the power of representative government, representative of women and girls and the men who believe in them and support them.
@HCandler @MaryaPetry TBH, I think it’s unstoppable. Fat’s in the fire. I can’t think of any other issue GOP could have lit up in an election year that would have damaged them as much as this. It’s the deepest kind of ‘gut’ issue and it cuts across every voting segment.
@RickPetree @MaryaPetry I have confidence in your assessment, Rick, but I still have a trauma hangover from 2016 and a justified fear of right wing money and dirty tricksters in swing states, October surprises, etc. It's not the issues, it's the process: Florida 2000 and all that.
@HCandler @RickPetree @MaryaPetry Me too. My biggest concern this year is third party.
@HCandler @RickPetree @MaryaPetry I don’t know if you had seen this, Helen. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
@HCandler @RickPetree I’m afraid of all these things and more. We are people who think within the confines of the law and usual norms. They are people who nefariously think about ways around all those things.
@HCandler @RickPetree @MaryaPetry All great talking points Helen, the surprise of 2016 was the one we never expected. You are so right on these points it’s hard to feel completely 100% confident about November 5th. Good post.
@HCandler @RickPetree @MaryaPetry I remain particularly concerned re GOP controlled legislatures in swing states and the havoc they could wreak, especially in a close election. In addition to various forms of voter suppression, we're more than likely to see some new iteration of a fake electors scheme.
@HCandler @MaryaPetry Lots to be worried about, for sure.
