News, or in See, BS’s case, not even remotely news at this point.

    Doesn’t she claim to be a centrist democrat?

    So do male trump voters that are single after they keep getting rejected romantically when they reveal they’re MAGA.

      Many women don’t want to involve themselves with men who reject the idea of their bodily autonomy, possibly even the right to vote, or have a bank account or a credit card or equal pay, or a no-fault divorce.

      The amount of ink spilled on that, even to the point of a moral panic (“women don’t even want to date Republicans any more, how is that even fair?”), was and is just so crazy to me.

      The idea of Popper’s Paradox of tolerance seems to have been so thoroughly rejected by the reactionary centrists gnashing their teeth and rending their garments over this that they seem to believe women should honor the Tone Police on their “civility” nonsense that they should literally sleep with their enemies.

        this is why the right is mulling over a push to take womens votes away. Womens votes are a sleeping giant. They were merely somewhat angry but resigned/scared for a lot of their lives, but now they are really effing angry all the time, and not just at republicans. They are also now increasingly just as angry at idiot centrist dems as they are at maga, and its making women in general a risk to the status quo. So maybe the centrist leaders will fail to fight for them as well. Its kind of the centrists whole brand, as they continually lurch rightward year after year.
