(28,006 posts)a Republican.
As far as I know almost all of my white women friends haven't either.
The only time, and this was before I was eligible to vote at 18 I ever volunteered for Republicans were two Liberal Republicans - John V Lindsey in '69, and Charles Goodell in '70.
Yes there was such a creature as a liberal republican back then.
(I volunteered for Humphrey's campaign in Fall '68, while RFK had been my first choice. I don't know why I didn't go volunteer - my dad had already had me putting flyers w him under my neighbors' apt building doors by the time I was ?13 Lol - after Bobby announced his candidency in March. I do remember thinking I'd go to see him when he would have campaigned in NYS/NYC in Mid-June, and go volunteer over that Sumner pre-convention.
Maybe I was just too tied up w my first year in HS, and we had a partly activist liberal leaning, and some real socialists as well, and contentions going between moderate black students, and more black power supporters so a lot was going on literally in my school then, too! sigh )
