She used to get on political shows quite often--used the term 'Democrat party' as I recall. No more though.

(25,660 posts)they were getting so many inquiries from women asking, "can my husband see who I vote for".
Yeah, it's real.
I'm doing 400 postcards, and the message:
Thank you for being a voter. Who you vote for is private, but whether you vote is public record. Please vote in the 2024 election.
Just wait.

(1,175 posts)but this pisses me off. It's 2024 and women are still afraid of their asshole MAGA husbands? To protect their daughters' rights. Coming from a middle aged guy, I'm ashamed. This fake macho shit has to END!

(37,869 posts)which perpetuates the "both sides are the same" myth & low info voters vote repub or independent next time. That's what it means to me.
OMG, yesterday I read an article about how much Kristen Sinema is spending on travel through her campaign even though she's not running again. France, during the Olympics, of course, Japan, & I can't remember where else. This kind of shit needs to stop.
Oops. Got a little off topic there.

to what a vile Reich-winger she is. She may not like Trump, or the GOP - now - but shell flip back when the coast is clear.
Comstock, Charlie Sykes, and many other never-Trumpers KNEW, and PUSHED, GOP bullshit and sedition for decades. They knew what was coming and welcomed it when it came. And then

(4,047 posts)We're making it a family affair... grandson is taking a 59 minute rule to extend his lunch hour to two hours if necessary. I won't be doing it quietly, tho, I'll bet. I'm gonna dress head to toe in Blue!
I'm waiting for my Cat Ladies for Harris Sign, and another one for Harris (a flag)... ordered them from Amazon who said they'd be delivered today. NOW I'm notified it'll be the 23rd of Oct. NOT happy... especially not with that huge Trump Flag flying right across the street!
OMGWTF
(4,360 posts)and the old lady across from her put up a "Harris/Walz" flag in response. Made me so happy!

(4,047 posts)I really wanted to go over and talk to the guy. Most neighbors on our block don't know each other, and so we did get to know the one right across the street. He's helped out my husband on various tool and auto things, and carrying something that's too much for either of us to do. He's an Army Vet, whereas I'm an Air Force Vet... but we both did serve our countries. He flies a damned Trump flag even if there's no election and he's NOT the president. He just updated to this years a few weeks ago.
I'm passionate in my beliefs and my desires to save this country's democracy and rights for women and other minorities. I believe immigrants make this country great, and one proof is that, except for one small segment of natives to this country we nearly wiped out, we're ALL immigrants! Now they want to pull up the rug? How hypocritical! I can't keep my temper down, so the other night hubby needed a better tool to get off the oil cap from grandson's car (he's teaching him how to change oil), and HE went to talk with him. He came back as confused as I would have. Inflation and immigrants. Never mind what Biden has done about either... nothing Biden or any democrat could do would be good enough. The family has just always voted republican and he'll be damned if he's going to be the first one to vote democrat.
Do you have any idea how much LESS respect I have for this guy and his wife? Not to mention his grown kids, who I don't know at all?! So, I stay in my own little yard and let hubby plan peacekeeper, and I'll just go around the corner to my best friend's house and we can yell all we want at the repugs!

(50,505 posts)She is trying to get out the R vote to counter Harris.
I have not looked for other statements by her. I am simply going on the face of the reported statement.

(522 posts)"As a grandmother with four granddaughters, Comstock also said she cannot have a rapist in the Oval Office, .
She's is also going to knock on doors and is voting for VP Harris. She didn't vote for Trump in '16 or '20 but she didn't vote for Clinton or Biden either.
