Because Roe is currently being discussed. If there's anything we know about people, it's that their attention span is limited. I'm surprised Ukraine is still as much of a topic as it is.

The cases of 2) could be fed from, say, citizen review boards into activist groups to make clear what is happening during election periods.  The bleeding-heart liberal skill set is good at emotional manipulation, and they should do what they are good at.

This places too much burden on "observations". The rhetoric from the activist groups will have to be steady and high quality. Personally, I haven't seen any steady, high quality rhetoric from the left in a long time. It's the low quality of that rhetoric that's resulted in the relative success of the neo-reactionary rhetoric and the exodus of erstwhile liberals into peri-right places like https://heterodoxacademy.org/ and https://academicfreedom.org/.

A perfect example of low quality rhetoric is claiming that Gorsuch and Coney-Barrett are partisan hacks. (Kavanaugh actually seems to be one. 8^D But the other 2 are a little more solidly authentic. No offense intended to hacks. I'm one ... just perhaps not as partisan.)
