We were just very productive in helping the democrats retain the Senate and mitigate the losses in the House, to the point where the GOP is barely able to function there. It was done, mostly, on fundraising and campaigning for women's rights. I couldn't even watch a baseball game with my kids without a commercial coming on about a democratic candidate safeguarding my rights, and I'm in New Jersey. I gave money to a lot of candidates.

It's not just reproductive rights. It's the right to not be questioned for a miscarriage. It's the right to unfettered health and emergency care. It's the right to basic medicine like methotrexate. It's the right to contraception. It's the right to not be subjugated and state-owned. Its the right to allow rape and incest victims the autonomy they deserve. That's not progressive. It's retaining basic human rights rights, which are in a *regress.*

I get what you're saying about being part of a team, but if the team uses me, I'm not wanting to be on the team. But right now, it's the only team to be on, and we have to hold it accountable.
