Will white married suburban women vote for the Dems in November?

[Funtatlaguy]

They hold the key to a blue tsunami 🌊 vs a mild blue wave especially in the key states that will decide the Senate.
Here’s hoping that the Kavanaugh hearings and the way that Trump and others have belittled women will make a difference.

1. Yes. I think they will

[BlueTsunami2018]

3. I'd like to think so.

But I thought they were going to pull us through in 2016 and they did not.

Women are just as staunch far right nuts as the men are. It’s all tribalism, they don’t care about women’s issues, they don’t feel they are affected by them. Lots of them actively advocate against themselves.

We just need to bring out more voters than they do, that’s the bottom line. We can’t depend on Republican women to change their minds because of any of these allegations or behaviors. They don’t care.

5. In 2016 55% of white women voted for the orange menace

so it will be interesting to watch how many of them will vote for democratic candidates in 2018 based on the orange menace nomination of accused sexual predator Kavanaugh.

4. get your shit together, wypipo

We're tired of you disappointing us.

[Bettie]

14. Trust me, a lot of us white people

are tired of them making the rest of us look like idiots.

[phylny]

16. Yes, I am sure that by using a perjorative, you'll certainly get more people to

vote Democratic this time around.

21. Consider deleting your post

That imbecilic acronym does nothing but get people's backs up.

6. I'm white, married, rural

For the first time in my life, I’m not looking for names. Just find me the letter D. I like to be informed and vote according to issues, especially in local races, but I’ll be a well-informed, aggressively against vote, and a hopeful for our future yes vote straight down the line.

[Funtatlaguy]

8. Bless your heart ❤️. The real one, not the southern fake one. Lol.

[StarlightGold]

7. Only if

they resist the guilt trips by clergy telling them the baby Jesus will cry if they vote “D”.

9. Are you planning on doing any canvassing?

I'm volunteering in VA and NC. A friend in MD is volunteering up in PA.

[Funtatlaguy]

10. Yes, I generally organize canvasses and phone banks for several candidates.

I retired so I have lots of time to help wherever I’m needed.

[SMC22307]

12. Excellent.

[dembotoz]

11. I dunno. I wonder what it would take to get to get me to vote gop

Would imagine many gop feel the same way

[Bettie]

13. White Excessively Religious women

will vote for whomever they are told to by their husbands.

So, they'll vote for the dirtbag every time.

[Funtatlaguy]

17. Stepford ?

[Bettie]

18. Evangelicals girls are taught to do as they are told

from birth. They are expected to be subservient to all men, fathers, brothers, random dudes at church, etc.

So, yeah, Stepford.

I didn't do so well in that upbringing. I was a questioner from the get-go, perhaps because my father began sexually abusing me when I was 3 and my uncle tried it when I was 12. I just did my time until I could leave and go to college.

Now, I have decided that religion is the single most corrosive and damaging thing to human society. Others' opinions may vary, but that's mine.

Sorry, I got off track there. This whole mess is really making me angry and anxious.

[Funtatlaguy]

19. I hate what your father and uncle did to you. I'm so sorry. You are a survivor.

[Bettie]

20. Thanks...

this Kavenaugh thing brings it right back to front and center, but that's the case with most every non-evangelical woman I know.

[GeorgeGist]

15. My daughters will.

22. Not enough to make a difference.

Not in red areas. They are red. They reliably vote red. Nothing will change that. They vote red for a lot of reasons, almost all of which pertain to things other than women's rights and such. Taxes, "family values" (their version of it), jobs, oil & gas exploration, anit-illegal immigration, and taxes again. In fact, they feel threatened by, and don't like, career women.

This block of women is the type that would have been against women having the vote (and there were women who did not think women should have the right to vote, or that it was a silly idea).

I think the most they might do, the absolute most, is vote for a qualified Republican woman candidate over an equally qualified male voter. But that's about it. If they even do that. They are quite comfortable living in a patriarchal society. Their lives are built around it.

I was born and raised in a red area and recently moved back. I know these women very well. Since moving back, I've had several people (insurance reps, real estate agents, etc.) comment about how smart I am. I'm not particularly smart. They marvel that I know what my walls and floors are made of, what kind of a/c unit I have, when my house was built. Here in red soccer mom world, women don't know these things. Basic things about their house, their finances, or how to repair anything. They comfortably rely on their husbands to take care of almost everything that is not traditionally housewifey. They tend to blame women for their plight, if they get attacked, unless the women were safely at home at the time. They will for the most part think Dr. Ford is lying.

23. Actually

They probably think she was "asking for it".

[Tommy_Carcetti]

24. Depends on the white married suburban woman.

My mother-in-law fits that category and sadly, no way in hell is she voting Democratic. If anything, she's dug in her heels.

That's the power of Fox News.
