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.

    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.

        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.

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