Haha I’m fairly sure that most evangelicals don’t consider Catholics even Christian.

Always accuse evangelical abortion obsessives of being Catholic. The results are hysterical.

Also, within those categories, college education moves the needle left every time.

Absolutely right! White non-evangelical women went overwhelmingly for Jones.

My extended white (mostly female) evangelical family are nearly single-issue voters. That issue being: ABORTION

As you single out the admirable voting record of black women, Jewish women, Latinas, Lesbians (of any ethnicity/faith). Not mentioned here are Muslim and Catholic women, who also tend to vote Democratic.

I grew up in Alabama, and I agree. Abortion being THE issue at the ballots was preached from my family and from the pulpit, and it took moving out of the state to reverse the brainwashing. It was framed as, if you voted for a pro-choice candidate you were the problem. Nothing is more important in Southern politics…

I’m pretty sure the white woman GOP voters in my family (Alabamans) vote 100% only based on abortion. They will never vote for someone who admits to being pro-choice. For real. That and they are stealth racists who don’t care about equality. It’s like beating your head against a wall to convince them anything other…

PSA: A fast way to ID the impostor accounts

Well I’m sure this comment section won’t descend into fucking anarchy...

Years ago, I worked on the positioning of Liberty Mutual, and to this day the research we uncovered remains my absolute favorite example of this dissonance in “I’m not like THOSE people but I’ll tell you about them anyway”: We found that a whopping 92% of respondents described themselves as more responsible than the…

this is why i haven’t gotten married.

Before I got married, my husband and I made separate lists of goals we wanted to achieve throughout our marriage. Some years later, I found my list and saw only one thing had been achieved: the one thing we both happened to put down. Most of his list was done.

I finally got one of those fake mimic accounts replying to one of my comments. When is it my turn to be mimicked?

So Republicans are going to double down on voter suppression before 2018, right?

This is all you need to know. Black women are the base of the Democratic Party. Despite voter suppression, black voters came out strong. I wish the Democratic Party would take the issue of voter suppression more seriously. Let’s hope we get something out of this. Jones did thank us in his victory speech and quoted…

This pretty clearly demonstrates that the Democratic Party in the Deep South needs to be directed by black voters for the interests of black voters. As a white male Democrat in a southern state, my opinion really should mean jack shit since there aren’t enough of me to matter anyway. Take my bleeding-heart ass for…

As someone else who lives in Alabama, it is a third-world state, with metrics like education, infant mortality, and poverty placing it squarely in the company of many third-world nations, and I’m not sure where you’re missing the burnt necks and Confederate flags because I see them every single day, and I live in the…

Serious question: did you see the recent reports that representatives from the UN visited Alabama and made direct comparisons between the living conditions there and those in third world (aka developing) countries?

I welcome Democrats not taking their constituents for granted.
