Kamala's proven she's the only sane candidate - Gen Z, female voters know it
Millions of American women, now realizing the threat of the SC Dobbs decision to their bodily autonomy, will ensure a Kamala Harris victory when the dust settles after this election. And I am predicting the win will be known by midnight, with a number of non-swing states giving her more than the 270 needed to put the ongoing Trump plague (if not Trumpism) behind us.
A first harbinger of what lay ahead transpired over the weekend when a poll showed Kamala ahead of Trump by three points in the red state of Iowa. Digging into the data behind the polls, it was found that 63% of Iowa women had now turned to Kamala, recognizing the threat Trump and his gang pose with their anti-abortion plans.
In the Iowa poll, run by Ms. J. Ann Selzer, more female, younger and college-educated voters were now saying they would vote and they were aligned with groups that tend to support Kamala Harris.
But the female voting tsunami that will be unleashed is not confined to Iowa or to young voters alone. It's across all the states, especially the one where abortion bans are already in place, and across a wide span of female ages.
Perhaps most energized are the college- educated women, for whom the infamous Dobbs decision is particularly odious. It will also have become clear to them that one cannot vote for an abortion amendment - say in Missouri and Florida- and also vote for Trump. No, that is like trying to square a circle given the Trump Project 2025 has a national abortion ban in its sights - no matter what lies Trump spews. Their full intention is to reinstate the 1873 Comstock law in some form as applies to medicated abortion.
Could Revival Of An 1873 Law Really Make Medicated Abortion Illegal Nationwide Now?
In addition, all these young (and older) women voters are now also highly energized after the orange roach vowed he will "protect them whether they like it or not." Which gave Kamala an enormous opening to show how Trump really thinks of women - as nothing more than charms for his own exploitation. As he demonstrated in the Access Hollywood tape.
Speaking of which, millions of Gen Z potential voters are now onto Trump's despicable treatment of women after having seen (on Tik Tok) the full rancid tape - for the first time. See e.g.
Gen Z hears Trump’s ‘Access Hollywood’ tape on TikTok for the first time - The Washington Post
As noted therein:
Now, the generation that came of age during the #MeToo era is turning to social media for information about candidates and elections — 39 percent of young adults say they frequently get their news from TikTok, according to Pew Research. This week, many said on the social network they were shocked by the former president’s words and confused why the episode wasn’t a dealbreaker in 2016.
“I don’t think any of my friends had heard it,” said Kate Sullivan, a 21-year-old student in Ohio who heard the tape for the first time on her TikTok For You feed this week. “We all felt equally shocked.”
People her age have less tolerance for sexual misconduct after growing up amid a series of high-profile harassment and assault cases involving major celebrities, Sullivan said. She immediately felt compelled to share the audio in her own video, with the superimposed text, “Fathers are voting for this man.” The video has been viewed 2.5 million times and was reshared by singer Billie Eilish to her 68 million followers.
Make no mistake, this exposure - to millions of new voters - will spell the ultimate evacuation of Trump that ought to have transpired in 2016. Except then too many white women - who should have known better - dismissed it as just "locker room talk" as opposed to an open, derelict exhibition of misogyny that ought to have seen Trump vanquished. Don't believe it? Check out one young woman's reaction:
Not even sure how you can look your daughter in the eye and say you’re... | father daughter | TikTok
So I predict, as many others do (e.g. James Carville, Michael Moore), the polls have been misleading us all along with the "tight race" balderdash. In fact, many women - including with Reep husbands- have been concealing their choices from the pollsters - much like Trumper voters did 8 years go. But they will reveal themselves in this election in a 300+ electoral vote win for Kamala. The Gen Z voters then will reprise the tidal wave of support that Gen X voters showed for Obama back in 2008.
And the women of this country will finally ensure its first woman president, after 235 years.

When I learned, as an adolescent, that Hitler had been an elected head of state, I was incredulous.
I don't know how I learned this. Not from my parents and not from the nuns who taught me for 12 years of school. I was utterly ignorant about pre- and post-World War II Germany. My father had served in the Pacific. In my neighborhood, as a child, our teams were divided, for far-ranging games of war, between the Americans and the Nazis. Having never heard the word before, let alone seen it written, I imagined the bad guys as K-N-O-T-S-I-E-S, pathetic little balls of snarled string.
In college, with better information than my hometown rah-rah newspaper's, I became an anti-war activist. Ever since the Vietnam War era, I've been challenged with the question, "Would you oppose all wars/ What would you have done about Hitler?" To which my answer became, "Hitler was elected. There were plenty of chances to stop Hitler before six million Jews died and he started that war."
And now I wonder where those chances were, and what I would have done. Because I have learned how Hitler was loved by his people. And I have seen something like it in my country now.

John Oliver Calls On Pro-Palestinian Voters To Support Harris | HuffPost Latest News
Of the seven battleground states that Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have been paying especially close attention to — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina — Nevada is the only won that Trump didn't win in either 2016 and 2020.
Hillary Clinton carried Nevada by 2 percent in 2016, and now-President Joe Biden won the state by 3 percent in 2020.
Trump's campaign is hoping to flip Nevada, but The Nevada Independent's Jon Ralston, in an op-ed published on November 4, lays out some reasons why he believes Harris — not Trump — will prevail in Nevada in 2024.
Ralston predicts that the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-Nevada) political operation will come through for Harris.
Much has been made out of the fact that Donald Trump's campaign did nix one "joke" in the now-infamous speech by podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe during the dizzyingly hateful MAGA rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday: calling Vice President Kamala Harris the c-word. As I wrote in the Standing Room Only newsletter, this shows that the campaign knew Hinchcliffe was planning a wildly racist set. I suspect the racism was a sick form of strategy, a continuation of Trump advisor Steve Bannon's infamous "flood the zone" tactics. Note that the Trump campaign only tried to distance themselves from the comments calling Puerto Ricans — who have a heavy voting presence in some swing states — "garbage," but not from the rest of his set or the many other vile things said by other speakers.
The censorship of the c-word likely happened because it's profanity, not because it's misogynistic. We know this because Hinchcliffe's other woman-hating "jokes" were left in, including fantasizing about the murder of pop star Taylor Swift. "I think that Travis Kelce might be the next O.J. Simpson," Hinchcliffe said of Swift's NFL-playing boyfriend. Swift has been the object of violent ire by many MAGA leaders, including billionaire Elon Musk, who issued an unsubtle rape threat after Swift endorsed Harris for president. And that is not out of character for Musk, who has purchased a spot so close to Trump's side it often looks like he's replaced Trump's running mate, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. It's Musk who has shown, in the last few days before the election, that misogyny is right up there with racism as the Trump campaign's closing argument.
Someone said of Trump a few years back: "He's like a toddler with a gun." My partner Katherine's response: "I see him more as the nation's drunken, abusive spouse, insisting we put the kids in the car and go for a drive with him..." Indeed.
We watch Trump and wonder: How can this be happening? How did this cruel, misogynistic idiot win a presidential election? How, after all of these years of brazenly and transparently being who he is, can he remain a compelling candidate for President of the United States? How can this happen in America?"
It is, of course, about voter suppression, the growing power of dark money, Fox News’s brilliant, relentless lie machine, the profound limits of the Democratic Party, and the reactionary absurdity of the Electoral College. But it is way more than that. In 2020, 74 million US voters voted for Trump. And, after nearly four years of mind-boggling incompetence and cruelty, and four more years of being an relentlessly and increasingly revolting version of himself, 44% of Americans (including most white Americans) "approve" of Trump.
