It’s like the media is playing catch up - on slo mo.

Sure . Everyone has a strong opinion on abortion - because its both binary and emotive.

But 630,000 abortions were performed in 2019, on a population of 330,000,000.

Which I think is about 0.2% of Americans.

So assuming when you vote you are voting to improve your own situation or for a better America., and whether you are pro life or pro choice, should this be the No.1 issue on the card for most people ?

When you stack it against universal health care, or getting the federal minimum wage to $20, or school meals, or fracking, or taxation , it doesn’t come close in terms of number of people affected.

This is no way to belittle the trauma experienced by those directly affected by it.

It is just to illustrate how emotive and polemic issues are used to divide the electorate and avoid them voting in unison on other, arguably bigger issues .

Actually yes, my wife bought 6 outdoor chairs this summer (and a matching table) but we didn’t really get the weather to use them.

Jokes on them. Londoners don’t really expect trains to run on time, or at all really.
