Among Kamala Harris’s strategies has been to lure away voters who typically vote Republican. Suburban moms are a natural swing vote this year, but treating them like patsies of the patriarchy is an odd approach for a party that has tried to align itself with feminism, writes Collin Levy in the WSJ.
• Vote Common Good is a group that works to convince evangelical Christian women to break with the Republican Party. Actress Julia Roberts, in a voice over. tells women “You can vote any way you want, and no one will ever know.”
• “Your vote is your choice. You don’t have to tell anyone,” berates Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D, Mich.), who is running for Senate.
• NPR introduced the “conservative women who are keeping their votes for Kamala Harris a secret.”
Mr. Levy, a member of the Journal’s editorial board, wonders if these messages aren’t a little demeaning to women. Is that what Democrats think of women? Saying it out loud doesn’t seem the best strategy for winning their votes.
If there’s a conservative sisterhood for Ms. Harris, it may just be this year’s version of an American tradition since the horse and buggy days.
A husband and wife live together in peace and harmony and set out each year together to fulfill their civic duty on Election Day. Hand in hand, they travel over hill and vale to cancel each other out at the voting booth.
