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.”
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.
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.

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.
