The extreme left is walking away from accountability while the far right would prefer the dark ages. Thank goodness...most are a different shade of purple.

I would agree with that

Anyways, you're asking me to rationalize the erratic behavior of young people. Worse yet, you're asking me to rationalize the behavior of emotional young women. It can't be done, because most of them aren't rational by nature.

Young people and women vote for stupid emotional things like social issues....while more rational and wise people vote with their wallets.

You could try reading. I am talking about younger women. While women make less for the same work regardless, the younger gen is more educated and career ambitious than same-aged men on the whole, so they get better paying jobs and make more money in absolute terms.

Actually, I'm pointing out your own erratic rationalizations, probably intended to protect your own ego. It makes perfect sense for empowered young women to reject the party of rape apologists, forced childbearing, anti-women's healthcare, and misogyny in general. No rationalization necessary; that's just common sense.

So, in summary, emotion and social issues.

Also, even if they're equal earners (which they aren't), women are still more vulnerable. They can be stuck with a kid they don't want, for one, whereas a man can only be stuck with a kid if the government makes him.

Also, a lot of the success women are finding in the workplace is due to quotas and such, another government handout.

I can understand why they would tend to vote democrat.

We're really not in disagreement, you're just upset at me calling a spade a spade and saying women are generally more vulnerable and tend to vimote for the party of handouts that takes care of them
