Its cultural, men are more likely to be Republicans. One day this will change

If no woman will consent to a guy like that, he’ll just vote for the candidate who promises to abolish consent

If there isn't a movie yet where a woman meets a strange man in the middle of the woods and he starts acting creepy and she gets scared, then she sees a bear and decides to chance it with the bear... and then the bear runs past her and mauls the creepy guy-

Well there should be.

Correct me if im wrong, not American;

People in your family can know if you register to vote as a dem o rep right? I suspect that if voting registration was anonymous like normal countries a lot less white women would have voted for trump

You don't have to be registered under a specific party I think. I'm not American, but you can register as an independent. And you don't have to vote for the party you're registered for. Actually I have no idea why you even register for certain parties in the first place

It's so you can participate in primary elections for that party. Some people who vote Dem in the general election will sometimes register as Republican so that they can vote for spoiler candidates in the Republican primary. There's not enough people doing it for that plan to really have any impact though.

But the same logic applies if you are trying to hide your votes from nosy family. Family members have enough info on you to be able to look up your party registration so if you are afraid of them causing drama, you can register as whatever party the rest of your family is registered as and then vote for the other side in the general election. The actual votes you cast cannot be traced back to you... Which can raise other concerns like not being able to verify if your vote actually counted.

I'm in California, and the only things party registration seem to affect are (1) (important) which primary you vote in and (2) (not so much) what type of political spam you get, not the amount.

plot twist they actually choose Trump

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 74 points 1 day ago

That seems bang on average for the entire country. If anything that suggests to me that men in that age group are less susceptible to trumps influence since other age ranges of men were in the 60s and 70s
