172. So tiresome being lumped in with the ignorant masses

Thu Dec 8, 2022, 12:56 PM

Dec 2022

As I white woman, approaching the age of 70, I get so tired of being lumped in with white women who vote Republican or vote for the more conservative Democrats running against the more liberal candidates. All white women are not the same so please don't assume we would have voted for Walker over Warnock or for Hillary over say.. Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. I've always voted for the more progressive Democratic candidates, and NEVER for a Republican. It just gets tiresome. Oh, and also, my niece, who lives in Georgia and is very white, voted for Warnock and was ecstatic over his victory. I'm sure there are a few more white in Georgia who would resent your snarky title. Maybe you could have entitled is "SOME white women did their white women shit in GA".
