The economy has a mind of its own, going up and down with little concern for which party is in power. Voting Democrats out of power will have no impact on inflation. James Carville's famous analysis, "It's the economy, stupid," was politically correct but meaningless in real terms.
On the other hand, women's rights, gay rights, and freedom from discrimination are decided at the ballot box. The Dobbs decision has empowered Republican controlled state legislatures to ban abortions in a broad swath of states. Even worse future decisions could limit the right to contraception, and to gay marriage.
Republicans are no longer restricted by Roe v. Wade. If they win control of the House and the Senate, they could eliminate the filibuster, and pass legislation banning all abortions, nationwide. Biden would veto the legislation, but his reelection in 2024 is far from assured.
Bitch about gas prices, but vote to protect your rights.
