Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Remember that 53% of white women voted for this.
They voted for them and all women to be considered property.
We thought we could bargain with and persuade "conservatives". They voted for this, they are okay with women dying in hospitals because the doctors can't legally intervene. The supposed "Pro Life" party. I wasn't okay with abortion early in my male, hetero, American, white, life but now I see. They are only pro-fetus. Once a child is born, Republicans don't care if they starve, if they have access to clean water, if they can afford food, if they have shelter, if they are raped, etc... Multiply that by about 100x if they don't have white skin.
"Conservatives" are almost as bad as MAGAts, and just as unreachable with reason, logic, and empathy. I don't have a solution, I'm just pissed off. And I'm far from the most-harmed people will be the result of this greed, racism, apathy, and hate. Sorry...
Inaccurate. 53% of white women who voted voted for this. A lot sat out and let it happen.
Or were pushed away by voter suppression and hopelessness...
Where is oversimplification going to lead us one day?
Oh, it’s 2024, never mind then
as i just said in another comment, it scares me to see this shit AGAIN.
this narrative is not making women any safer!
Yeah, the truth certainly doesn't make women safer.
You really should talk to other white women about that.
which truth is that, that no one hates women like other women?
look at the current climate, i see a lot of woman-hating from all sides, including supposed allies on the left looking for a scapegoat. the oversimplified victim-blaming of dumping our president-elect at the feet of women (again) demonstrates very little understanding of gendered power dynamics and very little effort to build coalition.
to this i would add the threads blaming racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, and the poorly educated.
do you want less suffering in the world, or are you no better than the right in looking for someone to blame, and someone whose suffering you can enjoy because, "they asked for it, they voted for it, they deserve it?"
The truth is 53 percent of white women including 10 percent increase of young white women voted for the behavior. Behavior mind you were say on full force since 2016 and white women voted for again.
As for me, when I being a minority, when I voted for Harris, knowing full well who Trump and company, was looking to my back, didn't expect 53 percent of white women of stabbing me and other women in the back. And seeing as white women voted for more suffering so I'm going to enjoy the schadenfreude because I'm sure as hell tired of trying to bail the country out from the stupidity of Americans in general. If that makes me as bad as the right, I'm okay with that, at least I voted to not enable this behavior, unlike 53 percent of white women who literally voted for this behavior.
White women need to get there shit in order so fix your own shit before you get all huffy with everyone else who are tired of trying to save you from yourselves.
Again, you should talk to other white women about that.
College-educated white women backed Harris. All college-educated groups did. Maybe Democrats should work on making college more affordable, and accessible to women with small children. Frankly we should anyway. We should also start helping girls that get pregnant in high school finish with their diploma so college will be an option in their future. Especially since more of them are going to be forced to carry the pregnancy to term.
No, democrats need to adjust their messages to people without a college education.
One of the things that makes Trump so popular is that he panders to people without much education.
A better-educated public is a net gain regardless who's running the government.
Better educated women are less trapped in abusive relationships, although it still happens, because they have better job prospects and better chance to get law on their side.
The DoE is already under attack. It’s part of Project 2025, and they’re laying the groundwork for it already. They’re going to work hard to ensure education is difficult to access and/or neutralized as much as possible.
Why do you think the wingers reacted so much to having loan forgiveness? Anything that educates more people is something they fear. Having people not being saddled with crippling debts after school only sends a message to others that maybe education is a path for them. The wingers don't want an educated citizenry.
I see you don't like "right wing" any more than I do, because I think they justify their actions by thinking "we must be right, we're the right wing." So I call them the Wrong Wing.
Or sometimes the Human-Rights-Destroying Wing.
Reich wing.
That definitely works too
No, the gop has weaponized anti-intelectualism. The reds won't vote for a candidate that wants to make college affordable.
No? What do you mean? You agree with him.
Indeed. The qons will call anyone with a degree an "elitist" [1], meanwhile, give the likes of Elon and the convicted felon, who are actual elitists, reacharounds. It's almost as if actual meanings of words mean nothing to them.
[1] This does not apply to their own kind, even if they were born rich AF and went to Ivy League school(s).
Unfortunately no one hates women more than other women.
Article filled with examples of men expressing hatred and misogyny towards women
"Ayup, no one hates women more than other women!"
You still can't deny that women do hate women here.
53 percent of women hate women with that additional 10 percent of young women that voted to hate women.
I mean I'm willing to give women as a whole a quarter as a condolence prize since they played themselves.
Sorry not allowed to acknowledge the fault of any woman, it's all men's fault in the end. /s
