Summary

A video encouraging women to vote independently for Kamala Harris sparked outrage among conservative men, who called it divisive and “amoral.” The video highlights the gender gap that has widened between Harris and Trump, with recent polls showing notable leads by Harris among women and Trump among men.

Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”

Supporters argue it reflects real tensions around women’s autonomy, especially in conservative households.

they cannot say they did not see it coming after the loud royal fucking theyve been crowing about for so long

I thought voting is done in secret.. if they rage about that simple topic, you gotta know who not to vote

It was a goofy thing to do, that probably made it harder for all the women out there in relationships like this. Every woman knew she could do this, but now because Jimbo saw this ad, he's that much more likely to beat the shit out of her to get her to confess how she voted because she smiled wrong when she walked away from the booth.

I think it was a bad move.

Suddenly, Republicans become a fan of mail in ballots, so they can "audit" their families votes...

Remember, if your ~~husband~~ spouse does this, you can always cancel your mail-in ballot and cast a provisional ballot in person.

Unfortunately, at least here, that could still backfire, as the voting record indicates whether you voted in person or mail in, so they would know you voted in a different way than expected.

"Must have been libural cheating honey, IDK"

Hopefully by the time they figure it out, you've managed to extract yourself from the situation.

I think they only want mail-in ballots for straight, white males. I have a feeling they would not be okay with mail-in ballots for people who aren't straight, or aren't white, or aren't male.

Even more reason for these women to independently vote for Kamala Harris. F Jimbo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nah bro. It sparked more women to think for themselves and vote for Kamala

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Of course, how could I be so dense? Women can't think for themselves unless a commercial tells them to do it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I know who my wife is voting for, but even if she voted differently, I would love her the same. It would hurt if she lied about it though, because it would imply a lack of trust.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Are there really that many people lonely enough to put up with being married to a Trump supporter when they don't also drink that trad wife koolaid?

This week, the fundamentalist Christian pastor Dale Partridge argued in a series of tweets that “in a Christian marriage, a wife should vote according to her husband’s direction”. In other words, he pits his version of the religion against the constitution, which, since the 19th amendment passed a century ago, guarantees adult citizens the right to vote regardless of sex. He argues that in marriage, the husband annexes and owns his wife’s voice and rights, so that he in effect gets two votes and she gets none. The far-right preacher is not alone in this argument that women should not have the right to participate in public life and act on their views and values.

Jesse Watters, the Fox News personality, has argued that if he found out his wife “was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair”. It violates “the sanctity of our marriage; what else is she keeping from me?” Rightwing agitator Charlie Kirk also got upset about the idea that women might vote according to their agenda and not their husband’s.
