55% of white women voted for Trump in 2016. He’s good.

And he only pulled 42% in 2020. He ain't got this.

And that was before Dobbs

You realize that millions of women agree with Dobbs, right?

The Dems don’t know how to read the room. They can’t fathom that most Americans agree that federal dollars shouldn’t fund abortion and abortion should be left to the states and banned after the first few months.

The Dems are crazy and think most of the country agrees abortion should be federal law and made legal even to the 9th month if need be. Most Americans do not agree with the Democrats about abortion at all

Is that why Rs keep losing on this issue? Kentucky, Wisconsin, etc. Dems are kicking Rs azz on this issue.

Ohio. FL fighting desperately to get this on the ballot and DeSantis pulling everything he can out of his hand to stop the citizens of FL from deciding for themselves…

When was it required that woman HAD to have kids. Every single black woman who ascends are told that they were DEI hires. Ketanji Brown Jackson, a judge who had more experience than any other justice when they joined the court was completely disrespected. She has turned out to be amazing.

For all those who thought that black men were moving to Trump, the Rs couldn't help help themselves but to be horrible which is why 54,000 black men were on a call last night in support. They don't even like her, but Rs went after her.

I thought the zoom call only supported 40K?

The women’s call Sunday night ended up with 44K. Not sure about the men’s.

There was a black men's call on zoom, too?

Yup. “After a Sunday night organizing call led by Black women had record attendance and fund-raising, a group of Black men organized a similar call on Monday evening. More than 40,000 attended and raised roughly $1.3 million for Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, according to organizers of the group, Win With Black Men.”

Actually 54,000 men participated.

That is awesome!! I'm wondering though, if black men, many of whom are socially conservative, would not be happy with a black (part) women as POTUS. I know that Trump already has a decent size support of black men. Hoping a black female doesn't make more move to that column, though the zoom call gives me some hope.

Pissed. I'm insulted that the machine assumes it can just plug and play some other candidate and us Dems will just fall in line. Harris is not the right candidate. I'm staying home in November.

You can choose to stay home. There will only be one of two outcomes: Trump or Harris. If you are ok with Trump, feel free to stay home. But don't come crying when he wins. See, there are CHOICES and there are OUTCOMES.

We’re still perilously close to autocracy so some fear is still healthy.

+1 Please people. Kamala has to win this. It's not enough to just have her name on the ballot.

You can read her website since you clearly have internet access. But to sum up why I’ll be voting for her— she’s running on protecting my right and the rights of my daughters and nieces to access healthcare and not bleed to death in bathrooms or land in the ICU because we’ve been denied basic care.

How is she going to do that? It's a state-by-state basis after Dobbs, and she as president will have no control over the states that have stripped the rights of your daughters and nieces. She isn't Congress and the president isn't a monarch. What is she going to do? The rights are already stripped - Democrats whom I voted for let that happened when they refused to codify Roe.

It's a serious question. How is she going to do that?

We’re hoping that Thomas and Alito kick the bucket so she can appoint new SCOTUS and change the balance again.

Her platform is “hope two people die while my party controls the Senate”?

You can’t be serious.

And, again, as someone who votes for Dems…the conservatives are smart enough to time their justices’ retirements. Unlike RBG.

Seriously, for the party of constitutional democracy, pushing through this nominee without an open convention and then making a bunch of empty promises that cannot materialize under the constitution, this is sending quite the message.

If you want moderates to stay home in November, this is a great way to do it.

Like I’ve said, you’ve got the internet, read her website.

For me, for my husband, for every parent of a daughter I know, it would be sufficient to vote against Trump to protect our bodies and our children. You want more? Start reading.

Protect from what? Look at the state of this country and the world after 4 years of democrats running things.

Losing their mother when a wanted pregnancy goes septic?

Losing their fertility when an ectopic pregnancy isn’t treated?

Eighteen years of child support for our boys when a college hookup gets pregnant and can’t terminate?

And god forbid— a lifetime connection to a rapist if one of our daughters is denied an abortion. Rapists do not lose parental rights.

No thank you.

Nice fear-mongering.
Guess this is the most important issue to you. The right to kill a fetus.

Most of us are more concerned with the daily challenges that the Democrats have brought to our country.

NP. Emergencies happen during pregnancy ALL THE TIME. I had an emergency surgery during my first trimester… these laws around abortion make doctors hesitate and keep their hands tied and it’s scary. The fetus can’t have more rights than the mother.

Don't even engage with the trolls. If MAGA thought abortion was a winning issue they would run on it.

Staffers in Harris’ office have reported a toxic work environment since 2021, when The Washington Post spoke with 18 individuals in Harris’ orbit. Descriptions ranged from “uncomfortable” to “soul-destroying.”

“One of the things we’ve said in our little text groups among each other is what is the common denominator through all this and it’s her,” former Harris aide and Democrat strategist Gil Duran told the Post. Back in 2013, after just five months of working for Harris, he quit. “Who are the next talented people you’re going to bring in and burn through and then have [them] pretend they’re retiring for positive reasons.”

Others said Harris blamed staff for her lack of preparation.

“It’s clear that you’re not working with somebody who is willing to do the prep and the work,” a former anonymous staffer told the Post. “With Kamala you have to put up with a constant amount of soul-destroying criticism and also her own lack of confidence. So you’re constantly sort of propping up a bully and it’s not really clear why.”

This is almost identical to the criticism of Amy Klobuchar that torpedoed her presidential ambitions… isn’t it interesting that these articles about ambitious women come out saying they are meanies and their staff doesn’t like them? Such a mystery!

Also, her staff SHOULD be preparing her, she’s the principal, if she’s not prepared, it IS their fault. Anyone who worked with a political knows this.

In which state is abortion illegal when the life of the mother is at risk?

Are you purposefully trying to play dumb or you just are dumb?

The question of "life at risk" is the issue. It should be left up to the doctors, but that's not how it's playing out. Lawyers are getting involved, and determining when the life of the mother is at risk.

No doctor wants to be liable for this, just in case the lawyer over rules the doctor. This has already occurred in TX.

Don't be so dumb.

This could possibly be the most deluded take on this message board all year. This is award-winning bad.

It also completely ignores the reality of what red states actually kid. All went with 6 weeks. Many have no exceptions or ones that are impossible to actually get. Idaho was medicating 1-2 dying women a week out because their doctors were fraud to terminate pregnancies even when the mother was dying.

If you want 12-15 weeks with reasonable exception, you should have passed that. Why would anyone in their right mind trust that you would do this on the state level but be moderate at the national one?

+1 double standards.

Trump is notorious for the same thing -- lack of preparation, refuses to read the reports, and blames everyone else for his failings. But, he gets pass from MAGA because, what? He's an old white male?

40 out of 44 cabinet level members of Trump's own administration refused to endorse him. His own VP wouldn't and his current VP called him Hitler. But yeah, keep trying with the Harris attacks.

She was always going to be "next" - whether it is now, in two years or 2028. Getting mad about it does nothing.

These are two of the strongest issues for Democrats. You are not paying attention at all.

And it’s To their absolute detriment is my point.

They need to be talking money . In the words of James Carville, “It’s the economy , stupid”

I don’t hear any economic talk from the Democrats or the words working class or family at all. All I hear is Roe v Wade and saving the soul of America . Apparently countries have souls but 7 month babies do not

I mean, she is saying more than that. Listen to the latest speech. But if you don't pay attention to what she says, then if you just argue that you don't like what you're hearing, you're not arguing in good faith.

+1 “The clips on Fox News don’t show her talking about the economy at all!!!111!!!”
