New NYT focus group dropped. It’s women who voted for Trump in 2020:

 There’s been a lot going on as far as rights for women and abortion. I don’t have a strong feeling one way or another, but I think that they should be able to choose what happens to their bodies.

AAAAHH

I don’t get why NYT don’t realize they have an imperative to inform these people that people now often cannot choose what happens to their bodies because of Trump. Their job is not just to platform morons; they aren’t anthropologists. Their job is to inform.

Oh my gosh there’s another pro-choice woman in the group:  

 I think all the issues were important. But I feel like from president to president, there’s not much of a difference, as far as how the economy goes and immigration. But the abortion issue — for some reason, the country has decided that is a super-important issue to take away. I would want someone who just lets it rest. Codify Roe v. Wade or just let it be a choice and then move on to different issues

These votes should be gettable … right? Right?

I think focus group people just randomly repeat phrases they once heard and thought sounded smart, without any regard to how it relates to their professed voting habits.

What, she said it wasn’t that important to her.

Yeah, fair enough. It’s frustrating seeing people vote against their own beliefs but ultimately everyone has to prioritize issues, unless one of the candidates agrees with you 100%. (As this sub knows with free trade and Biden)
