Young Women Could Redefine The Women’s Vote - and it's not Trump

[umbrella39]

Instead of posting a thread about an April Reuters/Ipsos poll about young males voting and pretending it is current and germane to current politics and news...

I thought I'd post something more recent and more probable to actually swing the midterm elections in favor of the Democrats. WOMEN

The 2018 midterm elections are shaping up to be a watershed year for women and politics. Not only are a record number of women running for political office in 2018, but many of them are running campaigns that tout the underrepresentation of women in an effort to galvanize the women’s vote.

Political scientists have long shown that party and incumbency matter far more in the voting calculus of female voters (and male voters, for that matter). But younger women could change that during this election. A recent Suffolk/USA Today poll found that nearly one-third of young women — those age 18 to 34 — would prefer voting for a woman over a man, compared with 19 percent of women overall.

survey from CBS News, nearly 6 in 10 (59 percent) women age 18 through 44 said Trump’s policies were generally harmful to women, a view that was much less common among older women. A recent Pew report documented a dramatic swing in Democratic affiliation among millennial women, with 70 percent now identifying with or leaning toward the Democratic Party.

Most young women view Trump unfavorably

If young women remain committed to empowering women, they, more than Trump, will be responsible for defining this era in American history.


I think young women will be the swing in this years midterms. Much more than the angry young man so oppressed they switch for Trump....

Be interesting to see that play out.

This highlights the problem very well. Meaning that only 19 percent of women over 35 would want to vote for women.

Since testosterone is made for aggression an estrogen for nurturing in very general terms, it is vital for the survival of huwomanity that women dominate politically on the world stage. The world is dying from male egotism.

Couldn't agree more. In my limited experience, women are just better at work. Yes, I intend that to be incredibly bad. Across all the jobs I've seen in my industry, on average, anecdotally, women are just better at it.

Not saying there aren't great men, there absolutely are. However, on average, women have a better skillset.

According to Hillary, white women are stupid and vote the way their husbands and bosses tell them to. The women in that poll may not like Trump but at the end of the day, according to Hillary, they'll do as they're told and vote for him. Hillary is never wrong and never lies.

Good job!

Good job bringing up Hillary to distract from the disastrous support trump is losing from women. It wasn't totally transparent of you at all./s

Not a new phenomenon, women have leaned left in politics for recent memory.

This wasn't based on online polling so it doesn't have any validity.

Everything is fine and young women love Trump, they love him so much they want him around while they are changing during pageants.

Actually the poll could be interpreted to say that. Older women, those that are more likely to be married, are much more likely to vote for a man than younger women, those who are less likely to be married.

I think they also just really want to be grabbed by the pussy....

No it just means they don't have a preference of male over female. More meritorious voters I guess you could call them.

Good job!

Trump has sexually assaulted numerous women, cheated on all three wives and probably raped Ivana, but don't let that get in the way of your pretending that you support women.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

Heh, if anything here shows how stupid men are - it's everyone here who thinks you have them figured out.

Give us a quote from Hillary.

That's not really what it's saying though. It's counting women who would "would prefer voting for a woman over a man". It says nothing about those people with no gender preference.

Edit: beat to the punch by MomentsofSanity.

Women tell me that they have to be twice as good in a job to succeeding in our sexist society but that, fortunately, that’s easy.

Interesting moment coming with SCOTUS. GOP will have to sh!t or get off the pot on Roe v Wade.

While we’re on the subject of the rise of economically independent and increasingly left leaning women, we should probably consider the effect this may be having on enlarged amygdaloid men, the macho types who mask their sexual insecurity and other fears behind bravado, the types who have earned the title, deplorables, and whatever it’s called, (Insel?) thingi. I think it’s this fear of sexual rejection by independent women that drives these kinds of men in droves to pigs like Trump. It’s bad enough to feel worthless without the additional burden of feeling sexually undesirable too. Low level thinkers probably equate the two in their minds rather than see it’s the unconscious manifestation of that feeling of worthlessness as behavior that leads to being rejected. Full spectrum women are looking for full spectrum men, individuals who develop and appreciate both the masculine and feminine sides of human potential.

The whole point of what they have been doing for a decade is designed to shit all over Roe vs Wade. I doubt they will demure now. I fully expect Roe Vs. Wade to fall as well as Obergefell v. Hodges, and possibly even Lawrence Vs Texas.

The second Roe is repealed, abortion becomes a major political liability with moderate women for the GOP. But if they don't repeal it while having a 5:4 majority to do so, evangelicals might feel duped and stop turning out for the GOP.

clearly the republican party is the party of women.

Not a new phenomenon, women have leaned left in politics for recent memory.

The fact that women lean dem is not new. What is new is that millennial women show a stronger lean than older women, and most importantly, that they lean more strongly toward voting for female candidates than do older women. This is relevant given the high number of women who are running this year.
