    This @conor64 piece makes an important point about the dangers of lumping "white women" into a single voting bloc (thereby occluding the role of class & religion)https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/11/white-women-2018-midterms/575437/ …

        I am sick of being blamed for tRump because of that. I have been a Democrat my whole life, like those before me. 🤦🏼‍♀️

        Suddenly “intersectional” is important to recognize in the case of those nice progressive white ladies? That’s rich

        How about the pursuit of accuracy, clarity, and truth is a moral good which journalists should value and strive for, and the use of generalizing, lazy language used by some goes against that, and defending that laziness through invective is wrong.

        This 'Take on America' show by @ozy featuring a town hall-like meeting of 100 white women in Nashville, also brings out that point nicely.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNruVq6kutM …

        It should be obvious that individuals aren't responsible for the votes/opinions of people grouped into the same demographic. But sadly, some liberals think you fight racism by adopting the collective guilt reasoning of conservative racists. Demos contain varied views.

        Right. You need to save the racist, sexist insults for white women who voted Republican. That's the important thing to remember.

        Do we need to start labeling "shades" of white?
