(37,997 posts)Women is 'heavily' weighted towards non-white women. We've seen time and again that demographic talk a good game then turn right around and vote for the Magapubs.
I'm generally not trusting polls anymore.

(4,676 posts)Best to take the women off the board. What percentage of American men think women should be allowed to take part in political surveys? I guess that should be the question!! It gives the idea that they are permitted by the Constitution to vote!

(1,681 posts)Given voting history we know women of color vote more Democratic than white women. So while women as a whole voted Democratic, white women narrowly went for Trump. If that pattern held true, this sample might have been biased towards having more women of color to get that average. But it doesn't account for people's approval being able to be changed based on new circumstances.

(4,676 posts)I understand that. I hope you understand mine.

(37,997 posts)92% of Black American women voted for Harris last election. We ALWAYS vote for our party. I'm the 92%.
53% of white American women voted for Trump in the last election.

They talked a good game about the 'price of groceries' but the convos in Black spaces? We know they voted for white supremacy and racism.

(2,847 posts)the majority of white women, as a voting demographic, voted for the con artist. It is not divisive to acknowledge that.

(2,675 posts)People keep leaving out the biggest bloc of all, the nonvoters, when writing about "the majority" of so and so group.
"White women" are scapegoats for too many people. MANY women didn't vote AT ALL.
Quiet Em
(2,847 posts)Non voters are not part of that demographic because they don't vote.
JustAnotherGen
(37,997 posts)It's incumbent on the dominant culture to fix the wedge that's been there since 1619?
This can't be blamed on polls and press. That absolves the dominant culture which has benefited from a belief in entitlement - both men and women.
By not addressing it - we get sent back to 1877.
Sorry- not sorry. . . my marriage and family of origin? We are truth tellers. We don't hide who we are, what we think or the realities we encounter.
It's not healthy - and it's why this shit hole country is where it is at the moment.

I dont trust the data behind the assertion that the majority of white women vote MAGA.
Hope22
(4,676 posts)Will be illegal to survey because my guess is 50% of the population does not give a rip. It gets more exhausting by the day!

(37,997 posts)No one wants to hear from us.
JustAnotherGen
(37,997 posts)The 92%? The base?
It's not divisive to ask questions. Or is it.
Are we not allowed to pressure white liberals who refuse to cut ties with the magapubs in their lives to start NOW to get their connections to understand the stakes in November.
This is why we are resting. We are only good for getting shot and imprisoned at protests and rallies - but when we ask simple questions of Democrats? All of a sudden we are low value and 'divisive'.
Take a look at what triggered your anger at my simple question. Why would you attack a Black woman, long time DUer for asking a question?
mzmolly
(52,773 posts)You also said you don't trust the data. That is my point. I don't believe that women are as divided as we're being told. If that were the case, the desperation to promote the 'save' act would not be apparent.
I'm grateful for black women/women of color and anyone who votes for human rights, period.
I have cut ties with MAGA family and former friends. I have no room for that/them in my life.
I'm sorry you feel that I responded with anger. That was not my intent.

(52,773 posts)It is a shame thats so few take interest in what happens politically. Especially given the choices in the last election.

Krasnov doesn't give a shit, he can get away with killing peaceful protesters.

(31,976 posts)I also almost get banned for asking Democrats to fight harder.
I hope that Democrats nominate a non-politician for president in 2028, if we have an election.
Nominate someone who fights the hardest, nominate Independent Miles Taylor or Malcolm Nance. I guarantee that they would win in a landslide.
If AOC runs for Senate how do you think she will do?
By the way, how are the investigations going into the murders of Good and Pretti? It wouldn't surprise me if Krasnov had Nancy Gutherie kidnapped because Savannah interviewed Epstein survivors. Why hasn't the Epstein autopsy been released? Epstein had 3 broken bones in his neck that are consistent with strangulation.
You bet I am still mad at Merrick Garland.
We will just fall back on GOTV and beat them at the next election and throw more money at the election. Meanwhile Krasnov is openly telling us how he is going to rig the election.

(16,900 posts)Had Facebook, Google, Twitter etc never existed. It is why I am fighting this new brain-rotting, invasive, intrusive, encroaching and parasitic next phase of unwanted connection and communication technology before it entrenches further, plainly putting criminal liability for all the tech cos and other entities involved.
Trash media is radicalizing society.
Apparently that parasite Marc Andreessen, this repellant billionaire, wrote a long stupid meninist manifesto filled with grievance complexes (what is that overrated piece of shit so aggrieved about? He is in no way anything but a pampered, coddled mediocrity who scammed and gamed his way ahead with the most slender palette of talents imaginable bolstered by the numerous regulatory loopholes found in a broken society far from homeostasis. Those he has now fostered further by helping break the federal govt. His accelerationism is rooted in an instinctive understanding that a more scientific, educated and sane society would correctly peg him as a delusional blowhard). And that is the type of guy financing rubbish like Substack, which unfortunately has also managed to collect all my favorite writers and journalists as legacy media is also corrupt.
Our organs of communication are diseased.
