Did you notice who wrote the article that you linked? A fellow at Center for American Progress and an editor of the New Republic. Apparently they co-authored a book called “The Emerging Democratic Majority.”

That has been a majority that came and went very quickly.

I don’t take anything they say as fact, even the time of day.

However, the world of a half century ago and the voting patterns related to it, have as much relevance to today as the voting patterns of 1910 had to 1960.

I don’t care how men or women voted in 1960. A different world: before “the pill” and before “The Great Society.” That was not the point of my replying to your post with the Washington Post link.

My point was that using those writers was not a credible source.

LOL, get real, you don’t have a point.

You keep pushing that women did not vote for Richard Nixon in 1960 instead of JFK, but that is the undeniable fact, on the flip side men did vote for JFK in that election.

Every article that needs to use that information will, because it is accurate.

By the way, the voting patterns have not changed much over the 100 years that you mention, except for blacks, who voted one way from 1870 until 1932, and then suddenly and permanently reversed themselves in 1936.
