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.”
The fact that they’re still married to these assholes is beyond me at this point.
I hope that the trend that young people have of not wanting to fuck Republicans hold because seriously, stop fucking Republicans by stop fucking Republicans.
They are. Go find the others and be with them. Say, the South Pole?
fuckem.
Maybe they shouldn’t be doing that :>
maybe the stress will give them all aneurysms
Ladies, divorce your Republican husband while you still can.
From a hotel in another city or a distant but good friend’s place. Avoid the black eyes please.
Based and actually good advice
Ah, but republican men are pushing for laws to make it difficult or even illegal to divorce them without permission.
That’s the joke
See, now if a billionaire would just finance divorce lawyers for this, then I might have a second thing on my list of things that billionaires are good for.
I was about to ask you what the first thing was.
Then my stomach rumbled.

They’re preparing to strip women from voting, like in the good ol’ times.
We’re not going to let that happen. I refuse to go backwards.
We already have, babe. Bodily autonomy for us is no longer a guarantee.
I refuse to go backward too, but they overuled Roe, which my aunties told me would NEVER happen. So just not going back isn’t enough. We have to move forward.
Well if early indicators are correct, not only will Kamala win, it’s possible to retake congress.
To state the obvious… Go Vote, bring your friends, every vote counts. Especially when it comes to down ballot.
Well if early indicators are correct, not only will Kamala win, it’s possible to retake congress.
Don’t do that. Don’t give me that kind of hope.
The Democrats will manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, never fear.
Don’t worry, even if dems grab a trifecta they still won’t undo enough damage for us to actually progress.
They’d need consistent wins for the next 50 years to undo the last 70 years of republican policies.
Early voting is not an accurate prediction of the results of the whole electorate. Very different demographics.
It would be the sweetest nectar if a woman beat that misogynistic, rapey carnival barker.
A black woman.
One of my favorite anti-Trump signs said, “God kept Trump alive so he could lose to a black woman.”
I had to down vote you for providing me with hope which could lead to mental breakdown if it doesn’t occur. Thank you but no thank you.
I rather be on the edge and hope people do as well and go vote.
Already happened /s

So I remember hearing in HS US history class that one of the arguments against women’s suffrage 100-odd years ago is that married men would now have 2 votes instead of one. This would disadvantage them against bachelors or widowers, who would of course not be able to dictate their nonexistent wives’ votes. Unmarried men would only have the one vote, which didn’t seem fair.
I guess the idea is not a new worry. It just seems like the fretting has reversed its polarity.
From another post:
Got this in the mail today:
And while some may claim that “both sides are doing this”, the message coming from Democrats versus Republicans shows a stark difference. One is a political violence threat, the other is a reassurance that abusive husbands like Jesse Watters and Charlie Kirk won’t know who you actually voted for.
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.
I mean he’s getting paid by a known moron. You could sell him glitter foundation and he would go out looking like a disco ball.
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.
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.
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 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.

I need this. I left the judges ones blank because IDK a thing about these people and you can’t find things about them online!
If they’re scared to tell you they don’t like Donald trump, maybe you should reevaluate how you treat your wife and family. Jesus Christ
bro, people like us, we see our wives as actual people. it’s just not like that for them.
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?
Amen brother
And become a beta cuck? No, thanks.
Goddammit, men. Why do you have to always make us all look bad?
I’m doing my best not to, and don’t think I have. Much, anyway?
Damned Scot’s! They ruined Scotland!
Like Republicans and Democrats
Or Republicans and Blacks
Or Republicans and Mexicans

Or Republicans and Cat owners
Or Republicans and people Not Republican Enough!
I have a suggestion for the “men” who are mad that their wives now have agency
I saw a man push his wheelchair bound wife up to the voting booth, then he pressed the buttons for her, then pushed her out of the way and entered his votes. The whole time the poll workers were just letting it happen.
Just a heads up: Some people are actually physically unable to push the buttons and have someone else do it for them.
This lady could, and also that’s what the poll workers are for, not a spouse.
That kinda shit pisses me off. I get annoyed when the ER asks my wife if everything is okay at home while I’m standing there in the room with her. They really should make it policy that all parties except the patient and their healthcare providers exit the room before asking that question.
Report that shit.
Surprised he didn’t just mail in her ballot
As much of a controversial term as it can be, this is why we need Feminism, with a capital F. Go wives! Do what you know you must! Do not let your husbands control you! Never go back!
Feminism is only controversial to reactionaries.
Everyone else thinks women should be equal members of society.
Wave that feminism flag!
maga “men”
I don’t even think it works in ironic quotations. No man with any true virtue, decency, civility, and honor wants to rob women of their own agency. The concept makes me fucking sick to the core of my being. It is morally reprehensible, and unforgivable. It honestly gets me enraged.
I have lived through reagan, bush, clinton, bush ii, obama, trump and biden…i am frightened for the first time since Nighthorse-Campbell changed affiliation…are we ready to go through this again?
Anyone who lived through 9/11 and didn’t feel particularly frightened about what would happen next simply wasn’t paying attention
I was worried it might cause anti-foreigner hate that would snowball into the US becoming like Nazi Germany.
Thank goodness THAT didn’t happen!
…good and gentle soul…no words…i understand
Why would this be Happening if MAGA was Pro Women like they say?
Majority of white women went MAGA in 2016. So this might be a racism thing rather than sexism
Or those women voted as they were told to vote, but after seeing how that played out have realized the voting ballot is secret for a reason.
