While millions will still vote for the Republican candidate, perhaps hating immigrants more than they love reproductive rights, the only certainty at this point is that many millions more will vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. In the latest ABC News/Ipsos national poll, the Democrat enjoyed a 14% advantage with women over Trump; among women with a college degree, that number rose to 23%; among women voters under 40, it rocketed to 34%.

That, in turn, is causing some MAGA commentators to break from their usual posture of feigned confidence to outright panic.

“Early vote has been disproportionately female,” Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA and helping to lead the Trump campaign’s get-out-the-vote effort, posted on social media. “If men stay at home, Kamala is president. It’s that simple.”

      Ah, but republican men are pushing for laws to make it difficult or even illegal to divorce them without permission.

            Yup. I’ve recently heard them start up with the bitching about “no fault divorce”. Used to be I’d hear old grumps bitching about that when I was so very little…and now it’s making a comeback, it seems, among people who are younger than me. WTAF.

            What’s next? Bitching about women being able to drive and have a banking account? Holding the deed to land?

              Timothy 2:11-15 New International Version

              11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

              This is the framework theyre aiming for. Blessed be the fruit.

      That sort of introspection seems so easy, at least in conceptual form, doesn’t it? I’m not saying it’s easy to change your attitudes and behaviors with the goal of becoming a better person but it takes a special kind of asshole to be unable to follow even the logic of your post without outside assistance. So many people live their lives that way and I honestly can’t fathom it. Most mentalities I can understand even if I can’t relate to them but that kind of narcissistic controlling behavior is so foreign to me that I can’t even begin to empathize with someone who thinks that way. I can’t put myself in those shoes because my brain won’t let me completely disregard other people.

      Just to be clear, that doesn’t mean I’m perfect by any means. I’m an asshole on a fairly regular basis just like everyone. But god damn, how do you just not care at all about how your actions impact the people in your life?

    So I know this can be explained through rounding… but why wouldn’t they just put the decimals in?

    “So far, 56% of mail-in ballots cast have come from women, a 13% advantage over men.”

      Some numbers guy political consultant said “This is the best way to turn out votes in the last week of the election” and a bunch of campaigns believed it.

      It’s all just consultant Voodoo. Whomever wins still have described the signs and rituals one must perform to become President, and then everyone else will try to do the same thing four years from now.

      Democrats are doing creepy stuff, too.

      From the Center for Voter Information:

      Dear xxxxxx,

      Public records indicate that you are eligible to vote in the upcoming election on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. Remember, who you vote for is private, but whether or not you voted is public record.

      We’re sending this mailing to you and your neighbors to share who does and does not vote in an effort to promote election participation. While we have hidden the name and street number of your neighbors to protect their privacy, these are their true voting records.

      [table showing whether I and two of my neighbors voted on the last four elections.]

      We will be reviewing these records after the election to determine whether or not you joined your neighbors in voting.

      None of this is OK.

        I agree that’s a flyer like this could be worded a lot different to spread awareness without sounding threatening. They also send out mailers that tell candidates’ positions on topics that has been questionably factually in the past. Conversely I had received before the voting period a mailer listing all the judges of the county and their own statements, basically a consolidation of information, that was very helpful. It’s about knowing how far to go, and of course being truly non-partisan.

        The center for voter information is not associated with democrats. They’re an apolitical non profit whose goal is to get more people voting.

        And yes. They are creepy. But they’re not democrats.

      I live in Florida, and got a handwritten post card with the “Whether or not you voted” line. Felt oddly threatening. Stuff like this is why I vote early to avoid the attempted intimidation to sway my vote right.

    If you are a woman voting Republican you are literarily voting for people that see you as subhuman. They do not respect you or your bodily autonomy.

      If you’re part of a caste system, you don’t have to be at the top to endorse it. We saw this play out in South Africa during apartheid to devastating effect for decades.

      Building increasingly narrow traunches of hierarchy guarantees nearly everyone will have someone else they can bully. White women might be subhuman relative to white men, but they’re ubermensch compared to pocs, foreigners, and white children.

      They do not respect you or your bodily autonomy.

      They see you as fulfilling a particular role and revile you for failing to fulfill that role. For all the noise about individual liberties, conservatives are just as collectivist as the rest of us when it comes time to talk about honor and obligation. The only question is what obligations are due and to whom.

      Yes.

      If you support a fascist. You’re a fascist.

      Trump is a fascist. Ergo, if you support trump, you’re a fascist.

      It should be no surprise that women are not voting for trump, when it’s clear they’ll be some of the victims of his fascism.

      Ooops.

        Woman can surely be voting for kamala as the article says.

        Characterizing men in such a way is based on a single douche.

          I didn’t actually say anything about men.

          I said trump is a fascist and called anyone who supports him a fascist.

          And said that it’s not surprising that women are choosing to not vote for the fascists because the fascists have explicitly threatened their civil rights and well being.
