“U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) delivered the following remarks today on the Senate floor regarding prescription drug socialism.”

From the Senate Republican Leader

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is talking about some plan that Senator Bernie Sanders (Democratic Socialist, Socialist Republic of Vermont) has to regulate drug prices as a whole in America. What I want to talk about here sort of relates to what the Senate Minority Leader is talking about, but more about how prescription drugs and drug access for women could affect the presidential election.

If you are just waking up or something, (perhaps you live in Alaska) the Supreme Court approved the sale of the abortion pill today. If you are familiar with The New Democrat, you know we’re pro-choice on practically everything, including how women control their own bodies, short of forcing others to have to pay for their personal choices. But that’s not what this post is about.

This, along with abortion as a whole, and the Supreme Court will be major political issues for American voters, if the Democratic Party simply allows them to be and makes then issues.

If The White House, House Democrats, Senate, Democrats, every Democrat whose running for governor and for state legislature in America, simply pushes these issues, and the national Democrats people with like President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Congressional Democrats, including the campaign committees, but Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, as well as the Democratic National Committee, all make these issues major issues and keep push ing them to get their voters to the polls.

The Republican Party in the 1990s, 2000s, last decade, were very successful in always making the Supreme Court an issue during their presidential campaigns, as well as their Congressional campaigns, at least in the Senate. That’s how they got the constitutional conservatives, as well as people who are called MAGA today, to the polls, even if they didn’t really like the individual Republican who was running for office.

Now that Democrats have completely lost the Supreme Court thanks to their weak showings in 2014 and 16, due in large part because their left-wing flank didn’t bother to vote in either election cycle, Democrats thanks to Justice Clarence Thomas, and Samuel Alito, have a real opportunity to pull a Republican play from back in the day and use it against them, to get their left-wing flank to the polls this November and not just vote, but vote Democrats up and down the tickets.

Democrats could argue to these (let’s call call them part-time voters) people that this not just about women’s health care and reproductive health care. The winner of the 2024 presidential election will probably get 1 Supreme Court appointee and you want a Democrat in The White House for that and a Democratic Senate to approve that Democratic nominee.

You also want a Democratic Congress (Senate & House) to go along with the Democratic White House, to reform and expand the Supreme Court. This could be a great political issue for the Democratic Party, if they play it right.
