I truly believe ‘what happens in the booth, stays in the booth’ will be the thing that confirms a Harris Victory.

People are tired of alpha males shouting at each other.

You assume there is a “booth” of privacy. What about women voting in the home? Imbalance of power in domestic settings is common. From my personal canvassing of female friends, many acquiesce to vote as instructed by men in their household. They choose their battles, and voting doesn’t rise to the top.

Really. Why?

Yes, this is one of the things that worries me about mail voting, especially in all-mail states. I know they can still vote in person, but that is much harder for a badgered partner to pull off when the mail ballots automatically arrive. No excuse or cover to go to the polls. I’m sure the numbers come down on the side of all-mail being better despite that, but I guess I’m overly sensitive to the concern as someone who used to be in an imbalanced marriage.

From your mouth to God's ear.....

As a woman, I have been disappointed far too many times by proclamations that turn out not to be true. In the same way that women can "lie" to their husbands, husbands can "lie" to their wives.

Misogyny is real.

They really should do an ad of wannabe alpha males shouting at each other and end with a woman just sighing.

And, to lend autheticity, the alpha males should end up eliminating each other with their non-permit required concealed carries. What goes around, comes around.
