I can only speak from my experience, but my mom voted Trump, Biden, Trump.
She voted for first Trump because her church told her you can’t vote for Clinton because she’s not a Christian, and she’s always been apprehensive of Women in leadership.
She voted Biden because Trump’s actions clearly showed he wasn’t Christian.
She would have voted for Biden again. She struggled whether Trump or Harris were lesser evil. Too many Harris ads taking about reproductive rights she just couldn’t force herself to vote Harris.
Your mom sounds like a weak person, unable to think for herself, and who betrayed her own gender.
Honestly, I’d be too embarrassed to comment on her, if she was my mom…
the last three presidential elections seem to form a strong message: america is a nation of misogyny. hillary? unelectable. joe? record turnout. kamala? unelectable. their politics? nearly identical.
obviously there’s more factors. personally i voted for Elizabeth Warren in 2020 and thought joe biden was the very worst candidate in the 2020 primaries. but the thing to understand about republican voters is that their engagement is that of a sports team (and there are democratic sports team voters). they will show up everytime to vote for their guy even if they hate him. the democrats have to counter this as an entire coalition. the candidates need to inspire turnout, and the voters have to turnout, otherwise the ratchet effect will continue forever
I would love to know why Biden was electable but Harris was not.
Care to explain?

I’m sure with furrowed brow they would respond in a caveman like tone “Biden man, Harris girl. Girl bad, man goooood.”
