As you point out, Republican-run states like Alaska, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri etc have some of the highest per-100k violent crime rates in the nation. |
| Independent suburban women are the swing voters who vote Democratic every time Republicans screw up the economy, but as soon as Democrats get things back to normal they vote Republican because they don’t want to pay taxes or help “other” people. It’s a 40+ year cycle. |
The only Republican candidate with young kids is the Indian tech billionaire and he was nuts - claims climate change is a hoax for starters … he also has jo political Experience yet knows everything … would Take more than him reading engaging kids stories to make smart women vote for him … |
Plenty of women over 50 are getting out and voting for pro choice candidates. Including plenty of independent suburban over 50 women. |
| Anyone who has been pregnant knows it can be very dangerous. No one wants compromised care. |
Also people concerned about pregnant loved ones. The forced birthers are a minority of voters in this country with good reason. |
DeSantis also has young kids. He actually ran campaign ads reading books to them to suck up to Trump. |
| Real policy proposals. I don’t want to hear how you’ll make everything perfect (no one can), but I’m interested in thoughtful proposals. But I also want to know that you’re tough. It’s not enough to be smart. We are a global leader and our president needs to be able to execute on tough decisions. |
“Exit polling from ABC News showed a plurality of Pennsylvania voters, 37%, chose abortion as the issue that mattered most to them as they cast their ballots. And those voters overwhelmingly supported Democrats.” https://www.goerie.com/story/news/politics/2022/11/16/pennsylvania-women-helped-john-fetterman-josh-shapiro-win-midterm-elections-abortion/69648023007/ |
Yes. There are posters on here that seem to think if they say many times that abortion rights is not an important issue, that will make it true. They can not seem to understand the robust evidence right in front of us all that it is a very important issue that motivates voter turnout and drives votes. If you want to win independent suburban women at the polls....take a pro choice position. Period. |
DP. I don't believe there should be limits on abortion. "Full term abortions" is essentially a red herring. Women don't go through feeling their baby kick, watching them move, listening to their heartbeat for 32 weeks, and suddenly decide that they've changed their mind, and would like an abortion. There is almost always heartbreak involved in decisions to terminate/deliver early, either involving threat to a mother's life, or threat to the fetus. These are wanted pregnancies. What does it say about a person that believes that women willy-nilly go about terminating pregnancies they have carried for 8 months? |
It says they are ignorant. Probably willfully so at this point. |
Clearly, we want the protections of Roe returned. Support that and get votes |
| What 2015 article? |
Dp- it says this is not a politician that will ever get my vote. |
