I have never liked Trump's combative, name-calling behavior, he comports himself poorly and is certainly partly responsible for the breakdown in civility in the country, nor do I approve of his Jan 6 behavior. I never thought that I would vote for him, but I have to say that is I balance out all of the other issues now facing the US, out-of-control illegal immigration, inflation ushered in by Harris' tie-breaking vote, this administration's deplorable treatment of our ally and the only democracy in the the MIddle East who we said we had their back, period, stop, the horrendous use of DEI, the riots on our campuses and streets, an increasingly bellicose Russia, China, North Korea, the weapoization of the DOJ, I am willing to swallow hard and vote for the Republicans, not Trump per se. Abortion is not dead, it has been returned to the States and we women can work to get it enshrined in the Constitution where Ruth Bade Ginsburg thought it should be - Equal Rights not Privacy. IMO, this election cannot be a single issue election. There is too much at stake, and Harris, IMO has shown she is not up to the job, she can't even explain the specifics of her platform beyond vague statements for the most part. She is not ready for the job.
White woman from Georgia, voted for Trump in 2016 because I thought a businessman would have sense enough to balance the budget, and I intensely disliked Hillary. In 4 years, despite some progress on the economy, he did nothing to balance the budget and I came to intensely dislike Trump because of the chaos. His lack of character was just something I couldn’t overlook anymore. As a result, I have become politically homeless. I threw away my vote on Libertarian Jorgensen in 2020 - the Biden/Trump choice to me was worse than Biden/Harris. Now that Biden has been put out to pasture, I’m voting for Harris. Jan. 6 was the final straw. I’ve had 4 years to let that fade away but every time he opens his mouth, he sounds like a fascist. The nationalism, the anti-migrant rhetoric, his persecution complex and plans for revenge, and recently the military against the “enemy within” crap - good Lord. 😡
So I’m more determined than ever to vote for Harris, even though I disagree with most of her her economic policies. I trust her slightly more on Israel, I’m pro-choice, and those are probably my tipping points away from a throw-away vote. I did not trust Biden on Israel and let’s face it - Trump is just lying about his support for Israel and abortion. He will reverse course for his alt-right anti-semites as soon as he is elected - they know it and we know it. I have slightly more faith in Kamala, maybe simply because she’s married to a Jewish man. And maybe Kamala will stop yapping about Roe and do something that is actually sensible - like a federal statutory solution.
I gave Trump a chance and I regret it. I will give Kamala a chance this year. I may regret it but Trump is just not an option.
For someone who is married to a Jewish man, her lack of backing Israel in the existential battle for its survival is glaring. There is no question that the Gazans are suffering, but the blame for that sits squarely with Hamas who use them as human shields, and whose government, Hamas, and more particlarly Yahya Sinwar(who never wanted to negotiate) has consistently refused to come to the table, not Israel. Roe is not up to Kamala, it is up to us to seek to ifluence our States, and to seek a Constitutional amendement under Equal Rights (not Privacy which Ruth Bad Ginsburg predicted would be its downfall). She has abjectly failed in the border assignment Biden gave her (& I suspect he handed it off to her because he wanted to distance himself from the morass created by undoing stay in Mexico and other Republican immigration measure in favor of a bill that was defeated because it was really an amnesty bill granting citizenship to 11 million illegal aliens. That only acts as a magnet for further illegal immigration - the notion that if you wait long enough you will become a citizen. I respect your opinion, but beg to differ - I will be voting Republican this election.
It's on us for allowing the elitist left to subdivide the country into sub-groups. Regardless of what you call them, constituencies, interest groups, women, men, or the many XXX groups (BLM for example), the media and the survey groups try to put everyone into a bucket. Why? Their survey research that inundates us pre-election is never accurate.
Women who have remorse over voting for Trump over January 6th, 1.) Do not have the full story, and 2.) Fail to understand the situation Biden / Harris have created over the last 4 years. Their rationalizations are useless blathering.
I don't believe in this poll at all. The left-wing MSM lives off this type of thing in order to try and sway the electorate. Remember when the vast bulk of them claimed Hillary by a landslide?
Disappointed that this was on TFP since I know I could find X people that said they were sorry they voted for Carter, Clinton, Bush(2), Obama, and Biden. (I'm only so old after all and I left out Nixon since I'm not sure his China policies override Watergate.) Women want to "make amends" instead of "doing what's needed now" is how I see it. Typical.
I'd gladly sell out Israel, support sexual mutilation for children, wars with no explanation, unlimited immigration, censorship, segregation to further dei, higher taxes, runaway inflation, and higher fuel prices, to prevent a guy who was cleared of sexual assault but found civilly liable at a lower standard of evidence after the law has to be changed to allow the case to go forward from getting back into the white house.
The issues facing our country and how to find a solution is more important than a personality issue. Who cares if that person’s personality does not please everyone if that person can do something about the problems facing our country! Shame on them for being so frivolous. Just voted! 👍🏼 🇺🇸
His lack of character is the problem - his apologists would like to downplay it as “personality” but that’s a pretty transparent distortion. I’m going out now to cancel your vote. And since I live in Georgia, my vote probably counts more than yours. 🤣
I'll look forward to your next article, titled, "People (insert your favorite demographic here) Who Regret Voting for Biden." I mean, seriously. The last few articles from The Free Press show me that you've "jumped the shark," especially all of the anti-Trump articles today. (TH). I'm not even a Trump supporter and I don't get it.
Didn't Jan 6 happen 4 years ago, never repeated and not supported by any protesters then or since? Each person was hunted down and tried, sentenced .... as well as the millions spent on the "investigation". it's over folks.
Since then what has happened?
-- 10 million slipped into the country without vetting or follow up, costing cities and the nation billions in housing, healthcare, food (that is not available to our homeless, elderly, sick or veterans).
-- Putin invaded Ukraine (again since he did the same under Obama/Biden in 2014 invading Crimea and Donbas), and
-- the ME is on fire as Iran dared send their proxies (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis) after Israel AND the US .... We have had to place a huge naval and military presence, commercial ships from Asia have to sail around Africa or be attacked ... That too is costing billions.
Of course Iran was emboldened & freed when Trump's tough sanctions on Iran were lifted and Biden returned billions of dollars they immediately used to finance their proxies .... Biden practically gave Iran the go ahead for Hamas to attach Israel on Oct 7 ....
... and here we are ... and Harris said she sees "nothing she would've changed" when on "The View".
Given the, agreed, less than perfect candidates we must choose from, it might behove to consider their running mates and imagine their ability to give advice on national security issues in a crisis, take over if required and face our adversaries .....
I think the VP debate gave us better wherewithal to judge ...
I'e watched most "interviews" including the one Harris did on Fox. What did others think of her "performance" in actually answering/avoiding/using often repeated campaign talking points when asked tough questions?
As President every conversation, with adversaries or not, will be tough ...
Of course we live in a free country where each citizen is free to study the candidates, their accomplishments, or lack thereof, and willingness to speak to the people's and nation's priorities and answer questions from the press .... then vote accordingly.
If Jan. 6 is the only reason to vote, that is their (surprising) prerogative despite the fact that that we face so many challenges at home and abroad, many of which continue to challenge the nation today...
I wonder though, if they feel that much more comfortable with the idea of 4 more years like the past 4.
Would the women changing their vote based on Jan 6, do they respond to "what's the most important issue in this election?" surveys skipping over the usual suspects like economy, border , abortion, public safety, etc., check the "other" box and write in "Trump being prostrate before the public seeking forgiveness after an act of contrition for his sins of Jan 6"? It can't be his character, as his character was revealed long before 2016 and they admittedly voted for him at least once.
Oh man, I am dying at the line about Kamala rising from the ashes!! She was HANDED the nomination in a way that completely circumvented the democratic process. And Hilary really thinks that she lost because we weren't ready for a female president and expected her to be perfect?! Nope, not even close to the reason this white woman didn't vote for her. All that "white woman guilt" is going to get us more of the same crap.
this white woman isn't falling for all the non-sense. i see the economy, the inflation, the wars. i see where my tax dollars are not going. i'm interested in what Elon, Maguire, Sacks, RFK and Tulsi are doing. i'm 100% voting for Trump.

Misogyny at its most obvious - isn’t it possible that we just disagree?
I don't believe in this poll at all. The left-wing MSM lives off this type of thing in order to try and sway the electorate. Remember when the vast bulk of them claimed Hillary by a landslide?
Disappointed that this was on TFP since I know I could find X people that said they were sorry they voted for Carter, Clinton, Bush(2), Obama, and Biden.

I voted for Obama the first time and regret it. He is nothing but a race hustler, becoming very wealthy.
I'd gladly sell out Israel, support sexual mutilation for children, wars with no explanation, unlimited immigration, censorship, segregation to further dei, higher taxes, runaway inflation, and higher fuel prices, to prevent a guy who was cleared of sexual assault but found civilly liable at a lower standard of evidence after the law has to be changed to allow the case to go forward from getting back into the white house.

To each their vote.
Choices have consequences in a democracy.
I am so grateful that we can now comment on gaslighting essays like this.
Democrats want to limit free speech.
