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.”

    The fact that they’re still married to these assholes is beyond me at this point.

    I hope that the trend that young people have of not wanting to fuck Republicans hold because seriously, stop fucking Republicans by stop fucking Republicans.

      I wouldn’t say don’t fuck republicans, but do not marry one without a prenup because there is like a 90% chance they’ll go insane because they saw non-white bandaids on a shelf or something

    If they’re scared to tell you they don’t like Donald trump, maybe you should reevaluate how you treat your wife and family. Jesus Christ

      That sort of introspection seems so easy, at least in conceptual form, doesn’t it? I’m not saying it’s easy to change your attitudes and behaviors with the goal of becoming a better person but it takes a special kind of asshole to be unable to follow even the logic of your post without outside assistance. So many people live their lives that way and I honestly can’t fathom it. Most mentalities I can understand even if I can’t relate to them but that kind of narcissistic controlling behavior is so foreign to me that I can’t even begin to empathize with someone who thinks that way. I can’t put myself in those shoes because my brain won’t let me completely disregard other people.

      Just to be clear, that doesn’t mean I’m perfect by any means. I’m an asshole on a fairly regular basis just like everyone. But god damn, how do you just not care at all about how your actions impact the people in your life?

    I saw a man push his wheelchair bound wife up to the voting booth, then he pressed the buttons for her, then pushed her out of the way and entered his votes. The whole time the poll workers were just letting it happen.

      Just a heads up: Some people are actually physically unable to push the buttons and have someone else do it for them.

          That kinda shit pisses me off. I get annoyed when the ER asks my wife if everything is okay at home while I’m standing there in the room with her. They really should make it policy that all parties except the patient and their healthcare providers exit the room before asking that question.

    As much of a controversial term as it can be, this is why we need Feminism, with a capital F. Go wives! Do what you know you must! Do not let your husbands control you! Never go back!

      Feminism is only controversial to reactionaries.

      Everyone else thinks women should be equal members of society.

      Wave that feminism flag!

      I don’t even think it works in ironic quotations. No man with any true virtue, decency, civility, and honor wants to rob women of their own agency. The concept makes me fucking sick to the core of my being. It is morally reprehensible, and unforgivable. It honestly gets me enraged.

        I was worried it might cause anti-foreigner hate that would snowball into the US becoming like Nazi Germany.

        Thank goodness THAT didn’t happen!

        Or those women voted as they were told to vote, but after seeing how that played out have realized the voting ballot is secret for a reason.

    So I know this can be explained through rounding… but why wouldn’t they just put the decimals in?

    “So far, 56% of mail-in ballots cast have come from women, a 13% advantage over men.”
