1. I don't agree with the premise, but I have to say, this map is remarkable

We need to continue to put women in power and the rest will sort itself out.

[soldierant]

45. I think we are seeing misogyny

I think a chunk of Republican votes - including some from women - were cast in fear of Kamala.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

2. It's the same thing

Ann Coulter used to say about women.

[whopis01]

3. I clicked on the link ready to voice my indignation at your post

then I looked at the map. You certainly have a good point.

[Mike 03]

4. Fixed it: "Poorly educated men shouldn't be allowed to vote"

[yardwork]

7. It's not just poorly educated men supporting Trump.

Brett Kavanaugh is highly educated. So is Stephen Miller. Ted Cruz. Etc.

[Mr.Bill]

30. If you take someone with an IQ of 86

and send them to college all the way to a masters degree, you will have someone with a masters degree and an IQ of 86.

[yardwork]

33. Their IQs are probably high. Their moral and emotional competence, not so much.

[demigoddess]

39. some high IQ people are what I call regurgitators. Whatever you say to them is

remembered but not analyzed, or thought out. This is how Fox News and republicans work.

[gladium et scutum]

9. Reinstituting a literacy test

to vote. Thought that was discriminatory.

[Mr.Bill]

32. It was when the literacy test for black people

was to hand them a Chinese newspaper and ask them what it says.

[gladium et scutum]

55. So you would be OK with

a Literacy test for all voters?

[Mr.Bill]

56. Where did I say that?

Actually I pointed out an example of how wrong it was. I live in a state that speaks 38 different languages, and if they are in large enough numbers in a given county, ballots in their language are provided. This country has no official language.

[gladium et scutum]

66. My bad

So you would be OK with a literacy test for just one group of voters?

[Mr.Bill]

69. I don't know where you are getting your assumptions from,

but this conversation is over. Have a good day.

[getagrip_already]

5. as a man, I might be ok with that...

But there are a lot of stupid white woman out there. I really don't want to be under the thumb of a president karen.

[yardwork]

8. Look at the map. Women elected Biden and Harris.

[LiberalLovinLug]

47. "More white women voted for President Donald Trump in 2020 (55%)

compared to the 53% (or 52% some polls found) who voted for him in 2016"

And although miniscule, black women doubled their votes for Trump, from 4% to 8%


https://www.essence.com/news/politics/55-percent-white-women-trump-election-2020/

Wrap your head around that.

I personally do not get it.

[MuirWoods]

44. Why does it have to be "white women"

?

[getagrip_already]

46. it doesn't....

But they seem to find there way into politics. It's possible the country could nominate and elect an ivanka just as easily as it can a stacy.

There are ugly people of both genders in politics. I'd rather not be ruled by one (m/f or other).

[LiberalLovinLug]

51. Black women doubled their votes for Trump this time

see above.

[cwydro]

52. Interesting.

I have a black neighbor who is a huge supporter of the buffoon. And a Latino neighbor.

I think a lot of DU have very few, if any, friends of other ethnicities. And they think they know how they vote.

[maxsolomon]

6. I simply don't get why so many men are such intractable assholes.

All over the World.

Maybe Testosterone and the smaller nature of Y chromosomes?

[StrictlyRockers]

10. Dude!

[getagrip_already]

13. tribal aggression is part of our dna......

From way back when you had to keep other tribes from using your watering hole, or hunting your game, or throwing rocks at you.

Aggressive men were critical to a tribes success and survival. Some think they still are. Assholes.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

21. There has been a lot of research

On the affects of testosterone and how it influences men and a chunk of that reasearch shows it's not always a benign influence.

[leftieNanner]

40. As Robin Williams once said

God gave man enough blood to operate a brain and a penis, but not at the same time.

[lapfog_1]

11. so I have to ask

WTF is wrong with the women in ID, UT, WY, ND, SD, NE, OK, AR, LA, WV, KY, TN, and finally AL?

That's a lot of states where the majority of WOMEN think ripping babies from their mothers is OK so long as they are refugees and that killing 225,000 Americans from a preventable pandemic is just fine and lets kill another 2M.

( I know, MEN would be almost the entire USA... but good god... I really don't see how any thinking adult would vote for the Orange Monster, it just escapes me how many of us are that stupid or racist or unfeeling )

[Caliman73]

22. Those are the women who believe women should be subservient to their men.

The answer to your own incredulity is in your statement.

I really don't see how any thinking adult would vote for the Orange Monster, it just escapes me how many of us are that stupid or racist or unfeeling

It's the thinking.

Trump AND the GOP in general, do not try to argue their case with thoughts and policy. Their messaging is almost always emotional. While Democrats also try to message emotionally, our focus is on policy and information about how those policies can make everyone's lives a bit better. Conservatives market primarily in fear, resentment, and anger. The leaders of conservative ideology market to voters who are definitely "done dirty" by the system only they direct the anger toward Black people, immigrants, women who want control over their reproduction, LGBT people, and other groups of marginalized people. They tell the story of how the government is corrupt WHEN THEY MAKE UP MORE THAN HALF of the government!! The people who follow them, do so because they are NOT thinking, they are reacting emotionally. They spend the day listening to Fox, listening to right wing radio, and reading conservative websites that are telling them that they are under constant attack by people who undeservedly are trying to take what is rightfully theirs.

[marlakay]

54. Religion and mostly rural

People who live rurally don't get the opportunity to hear many opinions outside their own. We mix more in the cities even if its just at work.

I am grateful for my daughter's hiking group her only democrat influence on her, she is surrounded at work and home by republican thought. The hiking group formed from her yoga group. Thank god she loves those!

[awesomerwb1]

12. As a guy

I would not mind women taking away my voting rights. I'm not f-ing joking either.

[Tom Rinaldo]

14. Of course that means Biden couldn't vote for himself, but yeah, I get the point

Given a choice of living in a nation where only men could vote or one in which only women could vote, pragmatically, as a man, I would choose the latter. The discrimination would deeply offend me if I had no say, but life would be a hell of a lot better that way than having men rule unobstructed.

[BainsBane]

15. They certainly don't make good political choices

as a whole. But obviously we can't take away the voting rights of half the population without people complete and total hypocrites.

[Dem2]

16. I like it

[tecelote]

17. As a man, I might vote not to vote but without a vote I couldn't vote not to vote.

'Hang on. Let me get my wife to help me with this.

[StrictlyRockers]

18. I want you to win. n/t

[Bradshaw3]

19. As a man I heartily agree

Especially white men. Our cohort has screwed things up. Let the women and POC take over and make this the country it can be.

[IowaGuy]

20. Leaving aside rightleft; BidenTrump; RepugDem tribes, etc. thing...

It is kind of fascinating that there is such a clear divide between men and women politically. When you get right down to it, our economic, familial, cultural, patriotic self interests should all be broadly be similar...and yet they are not. I wish I understood why at a deeper level, beyond just a trite declaration that all men are assholes. I'm not ascribing to that being said by anybody in particular here, but it is the underlying thought. Something definitely to think about.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. It took a hundred and how many years for women to get the right to vote?

Heck, let's take it away from men for the same length of time.

[Polybius]

24. Even MS is Blue

Wow.

[IrishEyes]

25. I would change it to morons should not be allowed to vote.

[Ms. Toad]

26. I agree -

We can put a pause on men voting for the same number of years women were not allowed to vote.

While we're at it, we could do the same for whites voting.

[VOX]

27. This dude is 100 percent down with women running the show.

It’s their turn; it’s their time. Overall, men haven’t performed very well. It’s past time for men to hand over the keys.

[OverBurn]

28. I'm cool with it.

[wryter2000]

29. White women went for Trump again

I'm a white woman, and this absolutely disgusts me. People of color, especially African American people, are saving our ass again. We don't deserve the help, but of course, they're saving themselves, too.

What would the map look like if only African Americans voted?

[Blue_true]

64. Their effect was offset by White women that went for Biden, along with African American

women and other women of color. So, in net, women were soundly against Trump. I have a female Trumper as a neighbor, honestly, a good day is one where I don’t have to say hello to her when outside.

[Mosby]

31. Yuck.

[3825-87867]

34. There you go strictlyrockers, pickin' on us minorities!

LOL!

There are more females in America than males - supposedly about 7 million!

That makes us guys a minority and by golly, we want our due!

Maybe if more of the supposed "Redneck, Right Wing Alpha Males" and asshole old white guys in power started being discriminated against,they might learn what it has been like for women forever.

Gotta go. Doin' dishes!

LOL!

Renew the ERA!

[KS Toronado]

35. This map shows there is hope for our country if more women ran for office.

[tblue37]

36. They're so emotional. Maybe it's their hormones. (LOL--just kidding.)

[CaptainTruth]

37. Toxic Masculinity. A problem our society needs to confront.

[maxsolomon]

41. "Our Society" won't.

Half of it will double down. Putting their Poster Boy in the White House is proof.

[Initech]

38. I'm a guy who votes Dem!

And I voted straight Dem on my ballot this year!

[treestar]

42. Interesting in general why are women more liberal than men

Is it having been 2nd class citizens up until recently?

[Mr.Bill]

58. I think it's because they have traditionally

been the ones who care for the children. Having people be dependant on you changes things.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

43. Think of the low crime rate without men!

And I'm a guy writing that!

[LeftInTX]

48. From somone with a twitter handle, "Strictly Count All The Votes"

[benld74]

49. Watched Netflix Letterman show with Obama the night of 2020 election

Obama made the following comments near the shows end,,,

Our democracy deliberately discourages people from voting. All is related to our history.
Originally this comes from a society where only certain individuals could vote

white men who owned property
Later expanded to include
white men who didn't own property

Voters who could vote expanding as the country went along, slowly, with plenty of methods used by groups to obtain their right to vote.
The original start of it remains, lingers, persists. It has become ingrained into our society.

Certain windows exist WHEN people can vote. Resulting in LOW voter turnout around the country, within certain groups of peoples.
Some feel WHY vote since, nothing happens to my vote

VERY sobering talk.

[Mr.Bill]

57. And as my wife pointed out to me years ago,

(and I am sad I was not perticularly cognizant of this fact) black men were allowed to vote long before white women were. And when women got the vote, it initially did not include black women. And of course, as we all know, a black man was president before any white woman. Of course, I was cognizant of that one!

[Cuthbert Allgood]

50. White people shouldn't vote.

?w=575

[standingtall]

53. What would this mapo look like if only white women voted

My guess is it would be a bit redder. If white. If reports are true more white women voted for Trump than 2016 and Trump did slightly better with African American males and slightly better with Hispanics then it is reasonable to deduce that Biden has done better with white males than any Democrat has done in along time. Didn't win them, but probably did better.

[BainsBane]

59. I think white women are breaking for Biden

ETA: nope, I'm wrong. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/exit-polls-president.html
But more of them voted for Biden than white men did, obviously.

[standingtall]

60. Can't see it behind a pay wall

but my point was that if Trump was doing better with white women than he did in 2016 than Biden must've improved among white male voters not that he won among them or even that more of them voted for him than white women did.

[BainsBane]

61. That's funny because I don't pay

I think Biden did improve among white men, but I'd have to see side by side exit polls to know for sure.

I also have a question regarding exit polls. How would they capture mail-in voters? Or do they?

[standingtall]

65. I don't know

I would guess they've already got that information from registered voters in advance, but this is the first year and maybe the only year my state has had mail in ballots.

[BainsBane]

62. You can view it

Just click collapse on the pop up at the bottom.

[canetoad]

63. I agree

On the whole, they're too emotional.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

67. The idea of selecting voters is too Republican for me, but ...

It would certainly make it easy to verify the eligibility of a voter.

[GeoWilliam750]

68. Lysistrata is still relevant today
