WestCanMan Posted November 23, 2024 Report Posted November 23, 2024 (edited) I've been with my wife for just shy of 20 yrs, married for 16, and I have a hard time understanding how the Dems felt like putting this ad out was a high-percentage play. The last thing my wife needs to do is lie to me about who she's gonna vote for, and if she felt like she did need to lie, she's smart enough to figure out how to do that all on her own. Honestly, that commercial just made me think that the Dems feel like their female voters are weak and stupid. If I was running Kamala's campaign, I'd rather tell women "Honey, go tell your man who to vote for 😉" and make a joke of it than "If you're weak and stupid then of course you're voting for me, so here's what you need to do...". At the same time she was calling women - or at least her own voters - weak and stupid, she was calling men controlling and abusive. It just makes men who were sitting on the fence less likely to vote for her, and more likely to vote for Trump. I really have a hard time figuring out what portion of the population wasn't insulted by that. It could only be "people who think that men are controlling and evil and women are weak and stupid", but at the end of the day, you're still saying that women couldn't figure out how the secret ballot works all on their own. If I had to think of the easiest scenario where an abusive man can force his woman to vote the way that he wants her to vote, what would that be...? "Hey woman, look what I just found in the mail... Your ballot! Congrats! Now you're gonna sit right down there in that chair and put X's where I tell you to. Then you're gonna sign it, and I'll watch you put it in the dropoff location. Ain't democracy great?" There are so many different ways that mail-in ballots are just a terrible idea, and so many ways that voting for the Dems is just weak and stupid.

But honestly we knew that and so did most of America on voting nite. I have never in my life heard of any conservative (or any man for that matter) demand their wife vote a certain way and in fact i have never even asked a girlfriend never mind my wife who they voted for, and one serious relationship i was in i knew the other party had different views and just never brought it up. Your ignorance and intolerance is showing. Democrats think men WOULD be have this way because that's how they'd like THEIR men and women to behave - to attack a spouse who didn't "toe the line". SO they assume others do. They don't. Sorry to burst your hatred echo chamber bubble kiddo. 9 minutes ago, Nationalist said: My wife and I have been marries 33 years.

But modern day die hard woke democrats who are so far to the left that Stalin looks like a capitalist absolutely would attack their spouse and destroy their family if they thought they didn't vote the way they should, so they naturally assume everyone else thinks the same. 4 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

It is only through amazing marketing that they've convinced so many that they are the party of love and tolerance. Love is the most powerful emotion. It bonds people. It conquers hatred. It is expressed in many ways. Sometimes it's expressed in uncomfortable ways. The scolding and spanking of a child for instance. Libbies tend to misunderstand that. They see punishment as a violent and unacceptable. Thus all too often, they produce spoiled brats. Tolerance is a biproduct of love. Libbies like to toss about the word and claim they practice tolerance. But how many families have been torn apart by tolerant Libbies? How many Libbie women are advocating for divorce because men voted for Trump. Advocating for abstaining from sexual relations with men. Screaming at their cameras for TicToc. Is that tolerance? No. Libbies are given to hatred and intolerance. Yet Conservatives will generally defend their right to express their intolerance. Would the typical Libbie do the same? Doubtful.

CouchPotato Posted November 24, 2024 Report Posted November 24, 2024 (edited) I think it comes down to the fact that they can't fathom how someone would not like their ideas. There cannot be something possibly wrong with liberal/left policies. Therefore, there must be something wrong with people. If Kamala is leaking support among women, it can't be that some women made up their minds to vote for Trump. It has to be that conservative men are directing their stepford wives how to vote by force. If some blacks have moved to Trump, it can't be that there is something they feel Trump is offering them that Kamala isn't, it's that black men are being sexist. So, Obama has to lecture them. And then there was the ad directed at men in general. There is no mention of any policy in the ad. There is no appeal to issues that men in general might find important. This is because Democrat policies cannot be the issue. It's men that are the problem. They are just scared to vote for Kamala. It's the only possible explanation. They need to see a bunch of guys saying they eat carburetors for breakfast telling them it's ok to vote for Harris. When you point this out, they seem to overestimate how offended you are, and think they must have struck a nerve. But the truth is no one is the slightest bit offended. They just think it's really lame. People see these ads and are laughing at them. Edited November 24, 2024 by CouchPotato 2 Quote

So just for clarification here... Do you think the Democrats put out this ad as sort of a nice public service message for women who happen to be in abusive relationships to let them know that, because their husbands aren't actually in the voting booth with them, they could vote for whoever they like without them knowing, because they would have never figured this out on their own? or Do you think the Democrats put out this ad because they weren't leading as much among women as usual and in their minds they actually think a major reason for this is that there is a widespread problem of conservative men telling their women who to vote for? 1 Quote

Really now? Were they more controlling this year than ever? Obama had 56% of women in his first term. 55% of women in his second. 54% of women voted for Hillary. 55% for Biden. 53% for Harris. Trump made inroads among minority groups as well. Was someone forcing them to vote differently? Maybe they didn't realize they could secretly vote for Harris because the Democrats didn't make an ad informing them of this. 2 Quote

It's obvious to a hate filled loser. you only think it's 'obvious' because you: a) wish you had the balls to push your wife around instead of being a less-than-beta who only does what he's told and b) you wish you could actually get a wife, but sadly are too repulsive so you're big mad jealous at those who can. Republicans don't need to control anybody. They don't control their women, they don't want to control anyone else. They want to be left to make their own choices, they treasure individual rights and will and most will never even ask their wife what they voted. Democrats are so hate filled they simply can't understand this concept. They assume that all republicans tell their wives what to do and how to vote because that's what they would do if they had balls 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

I think some of them must be like Jesse Watters, who likened voting for Harris to "having an affair." Quote “If I found out Emma was going to the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” (Watters) said. “That violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What is she lying about?” he continued. “Why would she do that and vote Harris? Why would she say she was voting… If I caught her and she said, ‘I lied to you for the last four years.’” “So you’d admit you’d intimidate…” Jeanine Pirro interrupted. “It’s over, Emma!” Watters continued. “That would be D-Day!” https://www.thedailybeast.com/jesse-watters-says-wife-voting-for-kamala-harris-is-like-having-an-affair/ Quote

The jokes may not always be funny but once again what he said is no more degrading than saying, "If I found out so-and-so was Bruins fan, I'd blah blah. That's just utter sacrilege." If you think that is degrading perhaps you take life too seriously. As for responsibility to his large audience, people who watch that show know exactly what it is about.

gatomontes99 Posted November 24, 2024 Report Posted November 24, 2024 The underlying message here is that women aren't strong enough to express their opinions around their husbands.
