Instead of blue wave in November, may we see a pink wave?

Had a conversation with a friend yesterday, she's 31 and black. She hates Trump but wasn't at all enthusiastic about voting for Biden. But now she's all in for Harris. She told me she can't wait for vote in November. And that a lot of her female friends feel the same.

I know this is totally anecdotal, but could we possible see a wave of women voting in numbers like we've never seen before that will overwhelm the GOP?

I'm interested in hearing if anyone else has had similar experiences.

Note: Please don't get hung up on the Pink and Blue reference, it's just a metaphor. Thanks.

1. The two are not at all mutually exclusive.

If we see a pink wave, that will be a huge part of the blue wave. Women are gonna fuck up some Republican shit. It's time for revenge for Dobbs. Let's do this!

2. Nice thought, but no. We want all Independents, Democrats and even DJT hating Republicans to vote for Kamala..

Blue is our color which is all encompassing. I am a woman and thrilled that we may have our first female president. So yes hopefully there will be a "Pink'' wave, as part of a total "Blue Wave"

3. Am I the only one who has always HATED the association of PINK with women and its connotations?

But, yes, I do want the combined STRENGTH of millions of activated involved women to take the lead in this election--empowered by Harris' nomination and all of the horrendous policies from the Trumpists and this corrupt SCOTUS.

4. White women voters have broken for the Dem presidential candidate twice since 1960. I'll believe it when I see it.
