    Overall, a majority of white women support Trump over Harris. People need to grapple with the fact that Trump is quite popular across a surprising number of demographics – for example, he’s more popular with Hispanic voters than any other republican president. He’s popular enough that he continues to close the national polling gap (Harris leads by less than 1% now in Silver’s poll aggregator; Biden won by over 4% and he still narrowly won the electoral college by only ~80,000 votes), and Nate Silver’s projections currently have Trump with a roughly 10% (9.9%) higher chance of winning the electoral college.

    And Trump continues to gain as Harris slips, which has been happening slowly but steadily for over a month.

    Does it concern anyone else that Republican politicians and voters seem to have dramatic, radical, concrete, and material plans for after they win and after they lose? And it seems like democrats have zero plans if they lose other than to say “it’s not possible, I clearly called him a fascist on social media many times”? No one I’ve spoken with that’s a dem or any flavor of left has any concrete plans for if Trump wins. And he’s the favorite to win right now. Does that seem bad to anyone else or…? No? OK cool.

    In turn, women need to vote like their rights depend on it. Because you might find in a years time that there is a nationwide abortion ban and there is nowhere left to go.

      There is a big population of women who are past childbearing age that are voting for Trump. It’s fucked up, but just getting women to vote may not work. They need to get young women to vote.

      So many elderly women are going to be voting who no longer have skin in the abortion game.

      Get everyone to vote.

      Women need to vote in their obvious interest.

      Men need to stop daydreaming about living in the Handmaid’s Tale and wake up to the realization that women’s rights matter to all of us. They owe it to the women in their life to step up to defend them.

      The only excuse not to vote in this election is to not have the right to.

      And people need to stop whining about being told that it’s the most important election every time there’s an election. They’re being asked to set off a few hours to preserve democracy every 4th year. It’s not such a huge thing to ask.

    So many “well akchewalllys” in this thread…

    Just because you don’t like the phrasing, or have other grievances, does not negate the message.

    Classic liberal. All for feminism. American women are strong and powerful!

    Foreign women, however, can die in the next US sponsored genocide.

    I try my best Michelle, but I am literally not allowed to vote in US elections.

    The ones I am allowed to participate in however do benefit in fucking over US-Politicians at least somewhat.
