Ryan will be 1/100th of the US Senate. His views on abortion will be tempered by the entire Democratic caucus which is pretty moderate.
Electing Vance will be empowering a Banana Republican caucus determined to kill democracy in the United States. Literally handing Mitch McConnell the power to continue his corrupt leadership of the Senate.
How is that you consider Ryan's position on abortion "insane" but Vance's extremist position not insane? As a moderate independent both give me pause but I also know that only Ryan will not facilitate the murder of Democracy in America.
I know nuance is a death knell. However, if you really dig down into the issues, I think you will find that Tim Ryan and Beto O'Rourke don't want restrictions because there are some--very rare--circumstances in which a late-term abortion is necessary to safe the life of the mother. A carte blanche ban on those abortions would mean that women--who wanted their babies very much and who did everything right and who are devastated to be in the position they are in--will die. That is why they oppose outright bans. It isn't because they support abortion on demand. It is because you can NEVER account for all the circumstances that may give rise to the need for a late term abortion, which, again, no one wants. A woman does not go through 6 or 7 months of pregnancy and all of the attendant hardship, and all of a sudden decide, "yeah, I changed my mind. ABORT!"

So you're just going to what? Some sort of vote protest that will make it easier for J.D. Vance to win?
If you can't vote FOR Ryan at least vote for Ryan as a giant NO to Vance.
Please?
Perhaps he KNOWS the middle is where this country is?
