Summary
A video encouraging women to vote independently for Kamala Harris sparked outrage among conservative men, who called it divisive and “amoral.” The video highlights the gender gap that has widened between Harris and Trump, with recent polls showing notable leads by Harris among women and Trump among men.
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
Supporters argue it reflects real tensions around women’s autonomy, especially in conservative households.
What about the husband vote cancelling out the wives vote?
Both humans have agency. If you are going to frame the issue as treachery, then the husband shouldn’t vote against his wife. Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
Fuck that.
Or, is the husband owed two votes and the wife none?
To conservatives it’s this one.
I mean why should chattel get a vote?
Well, they still believe you should get 3/5 of a vote for every piece of chattel you own.
The south never changed, we just had the luxury to ignore them.
They believe if you do not earn money or earn insignificant amount then you do not deserve to vote or have a say in politics. You can estimate their thoughts and actions based on this simple starting point.
Yokels voting for Trump be like “Yeah I’m earning the 5$/h so I make the big decisions in this House!”
I thought voting is done in secret… if they rage about that simple topic, you gotta know who not to vote
they cannot say they did not see it coming after the loud royal fucking theyve been crowing about for so long
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
These idiots really miss the fact that most women can, and, in fact, must work. This idea of a “sweet” husband who works to provide for his family is so outdated it’s absurd.
That’s actually true in some of their cases, because they don’t have anything else to offer the family.
I’m willing to bet a lot of these people can’t cook, never clean and are insecure because they jerked around in high school.
Unfortunately for them, I agree. Better educated women are making people like Kirk obsolete. In the past, the only thing they had to offer was steady income, but now that women are often making more than many of them and are better educated, they feel threatened. So the only thing they have left is pretending women are dumb
Yeah but he makes more for the same work so obviously he’s more important…
That does still apply to rich people, which is why I suspect so many of these idiots still think this way. Surely everyone has the means THEY have!
Surely everyone has the means THEY have!
And if they don’t–fuck em. They obviously don’t work hard enough while spending their few shekels on fancy toast and bubble tea or some shit
Only the people that matter have the means they have.
Party that repealed Roe v Wade and constantly talks about shooting liberals is now angry that their wives might be afraid of telling them how they vote, more news at 10
Critics like Charlie Kirk labeled it “nauseating,” criticizing the wife for lying to “her sweet husband who probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life and provides for the family.”
And just why does she have to lie about it to her “sweet” husband?..
probably works his tail off to make sure that she can go and have a nice life
Yeah, she probably sits on her ass all day anyway. The kids raise themselves! The audacity of these women to have been born with an ungrateful vagina smh
My wife would beat the shit out of me if I didn’t vote for Kamala, and I’d deserve it, and enjoy it.
More like rotten
I’m willing to take bets that sometime in the Future there will be a call from Republicans for a new law that allows husbands to see how their wives have voted.
To protect Family values… And to stop disharmony in the marriage…
And, of course, to prevent voter fraud…
If the Conservatives had their way, women would not be allowed to vote at all. Unfortunately, that still seems to be one of their goals. I mean, Trump and his henchmen have already made sure that women are no longer allowed to control their own bodies, which I have to admit I thought was impossible in a Western country. What makes you think they’re going to leave it at taking away women’s right to a secret ballot? These people want to reverse advances in civilization like women’s right to vote all together. That’s what conservative means to them: back to the Middle Ages. In this sense, they are little different from other religious extremists such as the Taliban. Their goals might be a little different but their means are pretty much the same.
If conservatives had their way, men would vote on behalf of their wives and unmarried adult daughters.
Gotta stop voter fraud, by letting those who commit election interference and believe the system is compromised to control it. No way that could go wrong.
They’ll pass laws that will give men an extra vote for each child they have (because they are “more invested in the future”) and while we’re at it let’s allow them to vote for the entire family to cut down on voting lines.
Oh no, they realize they might not have complete control over their little world! Heavens to murgatroyd!
Are there really that many people lonely enough to put up with being married to a Trump supporter when they don’t also drink that trad wife koolaid?

This is why you should know who you marry before you get married.
Stop letting regressive religion control your lives.
Religious people typically enforce their oppression with abuse and violence.
Found Waldo!
I love/hate scp stories
Good lord they’re really telling on themselves with this one aren’t they?
How dare you encourage my wife to be an independent person and have her own thoughts!
- conservative men
I know who my wife is voting for, but even if she voted differently, I would love her the same. It would hurt if she lied about it though, because it would imply a lack of trust.
Literally not true lol
What isn’t?
I don’t know of any conservatives “enraged” with this ad lol

This week, the fundamentalist Christian pastor Dale Partridge argued in a series of tweets that “in a Christian marriage, a wife should vote according to her husband’s direction”. In other words, he pits his version of the religion against the constitution, which, since the 19th amendment passed a century ago, guarantees adult citizens the right to vote regardless of sex. He argues that in marriage, the husband annexes and owns his wife’s voice and rights, so that he in effect gets two votes and she gets none. The far-right preacher is not alone in this argument that women should not have the right to participate in public life and act on their views and values.
Jesse Watters, the Fox News personality, has argued that if he found out his wife “was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair”. It violates “the sanctity of our marriage; what else is she keeping from me?” Rightwing agitator Charlie Kirk also got upset about the idea that women might vote according to their agenda and not their husband’s.
And I’ve never seen Australia, therefore it doesn’t exist
You are not on social media much then lol
It was a goofy thing to do, that probably made it harder for all the women out there in relationships like this. Every woman knew she could do this, but now because Jimbo saw this ad, he’s that much more likely to beat the shit out of her to get her to confess how she voted because she smiled wrong when she walked away from the booth.
I think it was a bad move.
Even more reason for these women to independently vote for Kamala Harris. F Jimbo.
Nah bro. It sparked more women to think for themselves and vote for Kamala
Of course, how could I be so dense? Women can’t think for themselves unless a commercial tells them to do it.
Suddenly, Republicans become a fan of mail in ballots, so they can “audit” their families votes…
Remember, if your
husbandspouse does this, you can always cancel your mail-in ballot and cast a provisional ballot in person.Unfortunately, at least here, that could still backfire, as the voting record indicates whether you voted in person or mail in, so they would know you voted in a different way than expected.
“Must have been libural cheating honey, IDK”
Hopefully by the time they figure it out, you’ve managed to extract yourself from the situation.
I think they only want mail-in ballots for straight, white males. I have a feeling they would not be okay with mail-in ballots for people who aren’t straight, or aren’t white, or aren’t male.
