In a campaign full of cringe-y ads, this may be the dumbest:
Treating husbands as the enemy seems like a bit of a tactical error.

I guess I don’t see what the problem is. Political ads are intended to either seek new voters or maintain the ones they already have. This is the latter. Two AWFLs colluding to vote for the Ditz; it’s perfect.
I am more interested in the author of that tweet who apparently jumped all the way from Bernie in 2020 to Trump in 2024.
It would be fun to have a few conservative women call into the PAC that made and tell them the same thing Ms. Mag did. Then, tell them that they were going to vote for the commie twins, but now they’re voting for Trump.
One more thing. We all know that had that been a Trump ad, the knives of the lunatic leftists would have been out.
Scene: two sisters enter the polling station, one a normy, the other a blue haired harpy (who teaches social studies in Edina).
Script follows much the same track – except the normy checks Trump/Vance.
What happens in the booth, stays in the booth.
It strikes me that while there are liberal women married to conservative husbands, ordinarily the economics of marriage are going to harmonize views, and as a rule in a more conservative way. I anticipate that this one will backfire to the degree it becomes known.
Another interesting thing is that Kamala Harris wants to do nationwide rent control, because affordable apartments are SO common in her native San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles, where they’ve had rent control for decades. I understand bias, but I don’t understand why Harris seemingly cannot take a look around and ask herself “Why isn’t this working out in the way we were told it would work?”.
“I am more interested in the author of that tweet who apparently jumped all the way from Bernie in 2020 to Trump in 2024.”-
That is interesting. In 2016, those areas that favored Bernie’s populism in the primaries ended up voting for Trump’s populism in the general election. Trump is not the populist candidate anymore, at least not that I can tell from what he says and from where I see enthusiasm for Trump versus where I see enthusiasm for Harris.
The only area where I think a Bernie supporter might lean Trump now is Israel/Palestine. I do know rapid Palestinian supporters that I work with who say Trump would be way better at handling the situation, including protecting the Palestinian people. Trump, like Bernie, has generally campaigned against war, so overall, that might be where Bernie supporters going to Trump happens.
This is insulting not only to me as a woman but my husband as well. My husband of almost 50 years respects my opinions (except on broccoli) and in fact I am more conservative than he is.
Their view of marriage is typical of a progressive–one of power and submission. How sad!!!
I could only shake my head when I saw this and said, ‘Bless your little heart.’
It was good seeing a woman who appears to be a millennial, calling this out. Maybe there is hope for the future after all!
They are saving the really good commercial for next week, right before the election
A surprise celebrity endorsement by Dylan Mulvaney, the Bud Light Transvestite.
That will put them over the top for sure.

Happened to me. On a scale of 1-10 – prog to paleo, I was an 8, she was a 4. Now I’m a 9.75 and she’s an 8.
I think the vast majority of marriages whose political views differ at first, meld towards the conservative. I think one of the main determining factors could be be private sector employment (and the uncertainty it carries) vs public sector employment. You tend to have a whole different outlook on life if you never know when it will be your last paycheck, vs the working lifetime guarantee of a job and a retirement lifetime pension (or two, or three, each). Children are another determining factor, when you see how hard democrat policies make one’s ability to provide for said children (if one is not employed by the public sector). The fact that there are still so many parents who cheer for public schools, their curricula, and all their referenda, still baffles me.
Bill, well said. My wife and I started out pretty conservative, but I think what is going on is that when one says “til death do us part”, one is signing on to a longer term time preference, especially when God blesses the union with children. (what J.D. Vance should have said, really) And the difference between private and public sector employment is huge as well.
And when I look at Harris’ platform, it just SCREAMS short term time preference–a lot of things sound good in the short term (again, those rent controls), but long term will be a disaster. As Vance noted, you can tell she doesn’t have kids by that short term time preference.
If you are the poor bastard married to one of those women in the ad, YOU are probably the one being bullied. She’s going to ask you, ‘Did you vote for the RIGHT candidate Elliot?’ And poor abused, bullied Elliot is going to say, ‘Yes, dear..’
