Honorable mention to the Supreme Court too.
If they hadn't overturned Roe v Wade, a lot of those voters under 30 would've probably stayed home like they normally do.
Especially young, liberal white women.
I think it was
@ZMaKEa who said a few months back that liberal white women wouldn't even vote if abortion wasn't always an issue.
Simply because they'd have no reason to since they're part of the most privileged class in America.
Everything in American politics revolve around White women's sensibilities.
But people refuse to see that.
They think White womanhood and the womanhood of other women is the same, then end up confused that White women vote Republican.
Voting Rights was about White women.
Diversity was about White women.
Affirmative Action was about White women.
Now that White women making more money than Black men and Latino men...where you see them on the front lines of these issues now? They were all over it in the 90s.
Got damn Indians and East Asians are more vocal about diversity and affirmative action.
Lol, they only came out to vote for abortion access.
White women are the most powerful voting bloc in America because they are aligned with their fathers, husbands, brothers, uncles, and grandfathers because that's who take care of them.
They live in a nice patriarchal bubble. White men always fulfilled the desires of the White women in their lives. Even now, despite the decline of White men since the 50s. A White woman gonna find her a decent White man to propel her forward.
That's why we don't get a major push about labor rights or unionization or universal healthcare or universal college in the Democratic Party. Shit that Black people need.
White women generally don't have these issues, so that's why we get these moderate Democrats, trying to appeal to White moms in surburbia, as if she gonna vote different than her male family members.
They won't.
