    I suspect that basically a women has to be a lot better candidate say 10% or something better because she is going to loose a certain number of voters that would otherwise vote the ticket. These are not even all men that will not vote for a woman.

    I understand why a certain genre of white male might vote for Trump for example but it mystifies me how a woman or a person of color would.

      It’s hard for you to understand because you’re more knowledgeable. A lot of people see Trump saying he’s going to make groceries cheaper and even though he’s completely full of shit at least he was acknowledging working class problems where the dems were not

        I talked with a Trump voter. They thought inflation was high. I said no, it is under 3% which is normal. They thought it was like 6%. They even looked it up and agreed. Then I asked them if they were better of now then 4 years go. They said yes. After all that I am sure they still voted for Trump.

        As far as numeric price, everyone should know that prices are sticky. They rarely drop but inflation can be controlled to the 2 to 3 percent range and they were by the summer of 2024.

        I agree with this about hearing people. Dems for some reason are not good at making people feel seen and heard. The other is making a personal and emotional connection which is roughly similar.
