If Dem and liberal leaning men ..in all colors...would turn out like black women elections would go better for us. I'm losing my patience and tolerance for non-political males right now with all the threats to democracy and rights, and the shameless performance and threats coming from Mary's uncle Donald.
Apparently true according to the Pew Research Center. But that was in 2020--before Dobbs. My guess is that Biden will do considerably better among white women (and among all women) this time.
Wow that’s great. Will 95% of white women vote for Biden (and democrats) the way black women will? No. Maybe 50%. White women are pissed because republicans finally made good on what they’ve been promising they would do for decades. How awful for them. Were all these white women pissed when republicans took away the rights of minorities? Nope. So now they’re interested? The other 50% of white women are not angry, they support being second class citizens. They support a ban on abortion. I guess they vote republican for the same reason white men do, they’re racist. Or maybe they just like being chattel. Angry white women can spare me their self righteous indignation.
This white woman gets so frustrated when her white sisters vote Republican because, well I don’t know why, really, but my best guess is they think Rs will cut their taxes (they won’t), and that somehow saving a few bucks is more important than owning their own bodies. Here’s hoping this year that will finally change.
I don't care what color your skin is, My thing is this" How in Hade's Realms does any possessor of Fallopian tubes, a Uterus, and a Vagina, vote for the orangeade diarrhea, who proudly& loudly boasts of being the direct cause of the lost of Our 50 yr right to Control the Content of Our Uteri? " Even Stepford Wives could lie & say "Yes hon, I voted as you said, then go home, have a Valium while drinking her Long Island Tea! "
53% of women voted for the Rump? I don't know what to say to that except that I have all confidence in white women. Apparently, something has caused them to have a major disconnect with reality. Or,they're just voting their husbands ballots like dingos in the bush? That is absolutrly insane. It's like people voting to go to for life. I hope after Dobbs that women have more sense. Stop letting your husbands fill out your voting forms before you sign them. Make sure he doesn't change your voting preferences after you've done your job. If your man is going for fascism that means you are headed for an absolutely horrible future life, not only for yourself and your family but everyone in America. There is no woman except an insane woman that votes for the likes of the tRump or his American fascist party formerly the Republican Party. Remember if the balance says Republicon vote for the other guy.
I wish people wouldn't conflate Trump with a secondary sex characteristic that is very attractive on both genders, and that has been celebrated in paintings and sculpture.
Black women recognize that Republicans won't help their families at all, and in most instances, actually try to hurt at risk families in poverty and people of color. This country has enough resources to help everyone have enough food, clothing, and shelter, if the morbidly rich would stop grasping for everyone else's resources. There is no reason a big petroleum company, making billions in profits, should need subsidies. The same goes for big agricultural conglomerates.
I can’t understand Black and Latino voters turning against Biden, when the alternative is someone who has no use for them and will only change their lives for worse. I can only think they believe all the online propaganda and bots. Hopefully, they’ll wake up before it’s too late. Muslims, same; they want to support the guy who wants to deport them all?
Big Biz uses immigration to keep wages down. In 1980, meat packers were Black, earning good middle class wages. By that decade's end, they were immigrants, toiling under atrocious conditions for barely more than minimum wage. That change repeated itself in virtually all of the low/no-skilled jobs.
Many Blacks are aware of that. The late Black Texan Representative Barbara Jordan, who ran a commission on immigration reform under Pres Clinton, recommended greatly reducing immigration numbers, and strict enforcement, for those reasons. Unfortunately, she died shortly after her work was done, and her recommendations were not implemented or Trump, whose signature issue was immigration, probably would never have gained the White House (google her if you're not familiar with her--she was great).
Some Latino voters may also be aware of immigration's dampening effect on wages and job availability. And see: Back of the Hiring Line: A 200-Year History of Immigration surges, Employer Bias, and Depression of Black Wealth, by Roy Beck.
Incidentally, I consider Biden the best pres of my lifetime--which began the first summer of the Eisenhower Administration. He's like the wind at my back when I'm on my bicycle. But he's been lousy on one issue, while being truly great on everything else. That one issue: immigration.
It’s the R’s in the House who are screwing up the border issue, but please tell me more about how President Biden is GREAT on all the other issues. I’m so hung up on how awful the other guy is that I lose sight of President Biden’s strengths. And you know mainstream media won’t discuss them much. Thanks!
I'm not good at remembering the details, even though I remember having heard all the good things he's done. But there's so much. For example, Biden led NATO to oppose Russia's invasion of Ukraine--that is, he got all the many members of NATO to oppose Russia (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
Our relations with China were in bad shape when Biden was first elected. He flew to China and met with their leader, Xi, and our relations with China have been much better since then.
Biden got the US economy going after he took office (it was in bad shape from Trump) by passing legislation such as the Chips and Science Act, that's helped bring our supply chains on chips--which are critical components of high tech products, including cars and much else--which we would otherwise have had to import. But instead American companies are now making chips. He's done more, similar stuff on the economy, as well as in the wake of COVID, making money available to low income Americans, which helped a lot of people through the pandemic when many couldn't work, or had much less work, and their having that money to spend boosted the economy.
The number of uninsured Americans hit an all-time low of 7.2% in the second quarter of 2023.
Biden may have finally found the labor market’s sweet spot. The economy added 14.8 million jobs over the first three years of his term, more than any president in US history over the same period. What’s more, unemployment has remained below 4% for the longest stretch since the 1960s.
Biden's the first president ever to stand with Union workers.
Biden prevented the GOP from shutting down the government, which would have been disastrous, with his skilled negotiating. Kevin McCarthy, the then Republican Speaker of the House, admitted that Biden was very sharp. Biden also outnegotiated the current House Speaker, Mike Johnson.
If you want to feel what Biden can do, watch at least some of the State of the Union address, here:
Thanks much! I’m familiar with some of these things, and will review. I wish I could come up with a personal story of how President Biden’s work has made my life better in the immediate. Reproductive freedom has traditionally been my number one issue, and I’m glad he came around on that, but I’m too old now to have to worry about that for myself. Now my biggest issue outside of destroying Trump is fighting climate change, but I’m not well versed in what our president has done about that, or even why what he has done is good. Mention an accomplishment on that front and be prepared for a barrage of insults from people who think it’s nothing but government controlling how you live. I’m not sure how to argue back to that. Luckily, I don’t have to very often, but I’d like to be prepared.
His coalition of bi-partisan participants gave the Refukkkans a bill that they wanted and was ready to sign until Orange Puke told them "Y'all better not".
People, place the Blame where it belongs; this is a REPEAT of the "Obstructionist Congress" during Biden's vice presidency. History is repeating itself, as We All watch.... Whatcha gonna do? Vote a 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊⏳⌛
Before scapegoating Black and Latino/a voters before the election even happens -- especially if one hasn't done anything to fight the voter suppression that's going on as we speak in at least 23 states that targets those voters the hardest -- can we have a bit more nuance in our analysis, please
I’m trying to help - I’ve been doing voter registration and postcards/letters for six years. It’s dismaying that word is that these voters are turning toward Trump, since it’s the Republicans who are trying to take away their right to vote. Makes no sense.
Of course you may want to consider that this may be black propaganda that the news media has picked up by virtue of Lies told by the right winky dinghies. Our news media really needs some severe correction. We need people with brains not talking heads on the news. We need people who dare call fascist fascist.
It's South Florida all over again! They are being lied to and they're not sure what to believe. Florida campaigners went door to door and got these uninformed and undereducated people to sign on as Republicans. We definitely need stronger bilingual Democrats to tackle this problem.
Which is such a sad state of affairs, since the Democrat Party clearly USES Blacks. They pay Lip Service to Black people —mostly near elections— and then DO NOTHING for them.
Unless you include INSULTING BLACKS as doing something.
How do Dems tell it? Blacks & other minorities DON’T HAVE ID’s. Driver’s License? No. Government ID card? Nope.
Dems —especially FJB— say Blacks can’t access computers either. Can’t Find one, or don’t know how to Use one. That’s some Real respect the Dems have for Blacks. Keep voting for ‘em!
Did you think that up all by yourself or did you have help? Like you give a shit. The only passion you have is hatred and self loathing. But hey, passionate hatred can give meaning and purpose to and empty life like yours. You’re just another right wing incel, haunted by the purposelessness of your life so you try to find a new content not only by dedicating yourself to a holy cause but also by nursing fanatical grievances. A trump FOLLOWER offers you unlimited opportunities for both. Besides that, no one is interested in the ramblings of white trash.
Excellent post, Mary. It’s so important that we keep our foot on the gas, no matter what the polls say, no matter what the news of the day is. We cannot let up. There is so much MAGA stupidity in this country to overcome. We’ve got to keep fighting, every day.
I hope abortion fuels people to vote like it has in recent elections. I also hope that Biden's fundraising ability translates into votes for Democrat in the November election.
I think you can bank on both translating into additional votes for Biden and Democrats everywhere. Biden's fundraising ability is part of Biden's general ability. He's amazing wht he can do. He flew to China to repair relations with Xi. And while he was there, he flew to I think it was at least 6-7 other nations in that area to cement our ties with them. And all this flying to different places in different time zones would have worn out a lesser person. He's amazing what he accomplishes. If you missed his State of the Union, do yourself a favor and see just how great he is--even if you only watch for ten minutes. (But I bet once you get to 10 minutes you'll want more!
What I've been seeing is that Biden is presenting as very positive, creating hope, while Donald is whining, whining, whining. In my opinion it's hard to see why anyone sees whining as positive… I continue to celebrate the positives with you.
Such great news this week. I am more confident that we will win like we did in 2020. Lifelong republicans are moving to our side. I’ve talked to them. They will never support Donald and the Magas. I feel the blue growing. Thank you Mary for your great info.
Which would mean that most of that most of that money would go to support the mango madman's legal fees and perhaps his fines. In the meantime, Trump and his deranged followers continue to threaten everyone from judges to poll workers without any consequences but with gag orders that don't do a damn thing. WTF, when will this insanity be finally dealt with?
Rick -- I just heard the attorney general of Colorado say the threats against all voter poll workers are serious and frightening. The MAGAs are at it again. Surely these phone threats can be investigated and legally stopped. What should I do ito help catch such a caller?? Look for the caller's number before i even answer a call? Call local police to put a trace on the call? Jot down the exact time of the call? We need to start a national defense against such calls. Anyone who can help, please jump in.
We need to be hitting it hard too, and apparently with today’s fundraiser, we’re off to a great start. I want us to win by the biggest landslide in history, and I’m sure we can. We just need to keep at it.
I am also wondering about the impact of Robert Kennedy's running as an independent. He mostly embraces a right wing agenda, yet Donald thinks Kennedy is no threat to him but to the Dems instead. I actually think he would be more likely to split the Republican vote and give Biden another advantage. Let's hope!
Thanks for spelling it out...good news....but it is absolutely vital that we vote, encourage others to vote, and do whatever it takes to assure democracy continues. 💙💙💙
Frankly, I'm more enthusiastic about Biden now than I was in 2024. Why? Because by every measure, his first term has been a HUGE success, and that's despite the Dems losing the House in 2022. Is everything perfect? No. Is there a lot more to be done? Yes. And Biden and the Dems have, and will continue to work hard and actually put America first.
I am loving Trump's sudden Bible affectation. Every time he mentions it I think of him wordlessly holding a Bible upside down in front of the church near the White house in 2020, to gain TV coverage when protests of George Floyd's killing by police were grabbing all the headlines. First he cleared the crowd from Lafayette Square with police on horseback and used some sort of gas. Then he lead "his generals" and others, through the Square to St. John's. Ivanka took a Bible out of her purse and handed it to her dad., who stood there without speaking. General Milley apologized afterwards, saying he was embarrassed to be part of the "event", which apparently had no purpose except to get Trump on TV.
If white women voted like black women, no republican would win an election.
If Dem and liberal leaning men ..in all colors...would turn out like black women elections would go better for us. I'm losing my patience and tolerance for non-political males right now with all the threats to democracy and rights, and the shameless performance and threats coming from Mary's uncle Donald.
What really confuses and frustrates me is the willingness of women and Black Republican congressman who back that misogynistic bigot.
Men aren’t the largest voting demographic, white women are and the majority of white women vote republican. 53% voted for trump.
Apparently true according to the Pew Research Center. But that was in 2020--before Dobbs. My guess is that Biden will do considerably better among white women (and among all women) this time.

Let's hope so.
Totally boggles the mind.

Are you alluding to the " sexual characteristic" he delights in grabbing, Metro Boston??? 🎱
I know, right? I can’t believe only 60% of women overall support President Biden.
Makes me hate our own gender
Black women recognize that Republicans won't help their families at all, and in most instances, actually try to hurt at risk families in poverty and people of color. This country has enough resources to help everyone have enough food, clothing, and shelter, if the morbidly rich would stop grasping for everyone else's resources.

Unfortunately, African Americans and Latinos are turning away from President Biden. It's very discouraging..

Thanks David, your memory seems pretty good to me. Now if only the Dems could synopsize as effectly, that would be a great general message.
Please do not forget his efforts at Climate Change, too
Living through these days where an egg can literally be fried on tarmac/ sidewalk; a Hoax...come on people, oh BTW, the Earth is really ROUND .

https://youtu.be/UYxxWaDlYUE?si=ma_NRkdaFYFF_jgn
I can’t imagine anyone backing Donald. I live among a sea of deluded Trump followers. He is almost transparently another of Putin’s oligarchs
Some of them are, but it’s not the majority.
They have been doing so. I'm not sure AAs--especially women--are still doing so--not after Dobbs.
Truth. Apparently there are many who want zero rights and to be a baby incubator
If Black, White and every other color of person simply VOTED we wouldn't have to speculate about dumb stuff like this

Thank you for reminding us of the reality of things in this crazy political scene.
It is very important to enjoy the good news, but it is also important to remind myself there is hard work still to be done.
totally agree Norm !!!!
If we could just get all those folks who watch FOX to believe in another news source!
I hope abortion fuels people to vote like it has in recent elections. I also hope that Biden's fundraising ability translates into votes for Democrat in the November election.

We’re just getting started. Women and minorities and lgbtq+ can, with their votes turn out and actually Save America 🗳️🌊🇺🇸🧢
Such great news this week. I am more confident that we will win like we did in 2020. Lifelong republicans are moving to our side. I’ve talked to them. They will never support Donald and the Magas. I feel the blue growing. Thank you Mary for your great info.
Big bucks fundraiser is good news. The bad news is, the Trump campaign promises 30-plus million at a fundraiser next week. Pray for rain.
I'm thinking more like an F5 tornado.😆😆
🤣
There you go Charlie!! 🤣🤣🤣 I'm with you on that one!!!
I don't trust anything coming out of the Trump campaign. They're likely saying that to contend that they are outdoing Biden. But not so likely.
Nothing but self-serving bullshit comes out of the Trump campaign.
Agreed!
Exactly this
Which would mean that most of that most of that money would go to support the mango madman's legal fees and perhaps his fines. In the meantime, Trump and his deranged followers continue to threaten everyone from judges to poll workers without any consequences but with gag orders that don't do a damn thing. WTF, when will this insanity be finally dealt with?
Rick -- I just heard the attorney general of Colorado say the threats against all voter poll workers are serious and frightening. The MAGAs are at it again. Surely these phone threats can be investigated and legally stopped. What should I do ito help catch such a caller?? Look for the caller's number before i even answer a call? Call local police to put a trace on the call? Jot down the exact time of the call? We need to start a national defense against such calls. Anyone who can help, please jump in.
Try calling your Attorney General's office and ask them. Or call the Colorado Democratic Party.
Only blue AGs are going to be reliable in that regard
The red ones are busy trying to roll back student loan relief again (like all the PPP loans taken out by Republicans weren't forgiven)
November 😉
You are so right! And I totally love "mango madman"
Only if he sells enough Bibles
Someone titled the picture of Trump Bible-peddling "Book of Moron".
🤣
Check out AI Trump.......Bibles........It is all there
Lol
I doubt it, and even if they were to get the 30 mn, they'll still have only about 1/5th of what Biden has.
On top of that, Trump's mind is going, as did his father's. His father had Alzheimer's, and that's likely what's eating at Trump's brain.
I see a blue tsunami coming. Joe is out on the trail hitting it hard. Donald is whining like a 5-year-old. We're gonna kick their asses!!💪💪👍💥💥
Yes!!! I sure needed this good news today. Been a rough week so far.
We need to be hitting it hard too, and apparently with today’s fundraiser, we’re off to a great start. I want us to win by the biggest landslide in history, and I’m sure we can. We just need to keep at it.
Donald is becoming senile. His father died of Alzheimer's.
I am also wondering about the impact of Robert Kennedy's running as an independent. He mostly embraces a right wing agenda, yet Donald thinks Kennedy is no threat to him but to the Dems instead.

As Dr. King said,”We shall overcome!” Together!
Thanks for spelling it out...good news....but it is absolutely vital that we vote, encourage others to vote, and do whatever it takes to assure democracy continues. 💙💙💙
It's all about turnout.
Excellent thread
The "enthusiasm gap" is a myth.
Frankly, I'm more enthusiastic about Biden now than I was in 2024. Why? Because by every measure, his first term has been a HUGE success, and that's despite the Dems losing the House in 2022. Is everything perfect? No. Is there a lot more to be done? Yes. And Biden and the Dems have, and will continue to work hard and actually put America first.

Every time he mentions it I think of him wordlessly holding a Bible upside down in front of the church near the White house in 2020, to gain TV coverage when protests of George Floyd's killing by police were grabbing all the headlines. First he cleared the crowd from Lafayette Square with police on horseback and used some sort of gas. Then he lead "his generals" and others, through the Square to St. John's. Ivanka took a Bible out of her purse and handed it to her dad., who stood there without speaking. General Milley apologized afterwards, saying he was embarrassed to be part of the "event", which apparently had no purpose except to get Trump on TV.
Ami, That link should be widely shared on all social media, broadcast media websites and their respective facebook pages.
Looks like I already "loved" this, but a comment like that could be repeated weekly to pretty my daily since 2016!
Of course it was a talk text, sorry!
Repeated weekly to pretty much daily... I can't believe that this country is where it is right now!
