43. Exit polls have consistently shown that White women as a group vote for the republicans.

They look better when enough Black and Brown women show up at the polls to reverse their error.

Why? They sit at the dinner table with husbands, boyfriends, brothers and they either agree fully with their poison, or they don't want to make waves, so they vote as directed or don't vote. I just don't see the situation changing anytime soon, too many White women are comfortable with voting against their best interest. The young ones vote against their interests because they don't want to upset their relationships, but eventually the character of the men that they submit to rears it's head and often that is not good for the women.

It's a nasty meme at DU. Why is that? Hekate Jul 2019 #23

Because in presidential elections, it's been true since 1952, except in 1964 and 1996. WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2019 #25

Analytical data from reputable sources, please. Tho you've already disputed Pew. Hekate Jul 2019 #27

Maybe it is also a convenient & divisive untruth. Maybe even a half-truth. Whatever, it is offensive Hekate Jul 2019 #18

I agree. And it also bothers me the way they lump all "white women" together. smirkymonkey Jul 2019 #30
