And yet you spent so much time on the blaming and shaming part. I think you should assess why you're back pedaling your knee jerk response and learn from it. Setting aside your defensiveness is how we win.

Also, it's "fellow white woman." I'm part of the demographic, too. And we need to get our shit together.

I try not to assume background (I’m part Russian and often mistaken for hapa or quapa) and would rather connect with people on bonds I’m more confident we share
Agreed, white women as a demographic have a greater responsibility to not vote against women’s interests...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
I wish we would focus those conversations on why the other percentage of ALL demographics (bc no one demographic can win it alone) voted against our interests. People can be so committed to extremes; the enemy is anyone that doesn’t do what they want. It’s polarizing/alienating..

I’d love to see the whole pointing fingers at a demographic (ANY demographic, even one I despise) and assigning blame be replaced with “how can we reach these people and help them understand why this is the best choice and we have common goals”, because the latter brings results.

I get how my initial comments could be misconstrued; know that ‘defending white women’ type nonsense wasn’t my intent.

Yet you keep doing it. White people need to change their own minds. It’s not up to us POC to do it for you.

“You keep doing it” You don’t know me at all, but you keep judging me; where have I judged you? How do hostile comments and vague, generalized accusations bring anyone together or do anything to encourage people who don’t feel they can identify with blue voters to vote blue?

See, here's the defensiveness again. You need to get over being grouped with a demographic who acts in a way you don't like. The majority of people who look like us vote a certain way, and it's on you and I to accept and change that.

I genuinely did not understand what “you” she was talking about, it was super late, and she had repeatedly insulted me as I tried to have a mature discussion about why I thought the approach was poor. How is not rising to her bait and asking a self-reflective question defensive?

I only see one response from them in my mentions but I see you tone policing and acting the victim all over. People are judging white women because white women deserve to be judged. You're the one making it about you. No one was talking directly about you.
