Which is what Rube is basically saying - the solution to the problem of a lack of a federal law addressing abortion isn't to vote for more democrats, because even if you do, they're not going to actually do it. So the whole "you have to fix this by showing up at the ballot box" line of argument isn't convincing or even honest.
Which obviously isn't to say that you shouldn't vote for Democrats, because at least they're not actively eroding abortion rights in most cases.
