'I failed my fellow Americans': the white women defecting from Trump
The Guardian ^ | July 29, 2020 | Adam Gabbatt

Posted on 07/29/2020 3:23:45 PM PDT by Stravinsky

Donald Trump’s 2016 election win may have been propelled by white working-class men, but another key group in that narrowest of victories was white women with college degrees.

...

“I really failed my fellow American citizens,” said Claudia Luckenbach-Boman. “I’m extremely disappointed in myself, and sometimes I am really afraid to talk about it.

“If I were to vote again for Donald Trump in 2020, it would be just as much a failure as an American, but also a failure as a human being.”

...

“It was just a few months into his presidency that I realized the biggest mistake I could have made as an American citizen was not informing myself,” Luckenbach-Boman said.

“I started hearing that the economy was great. And I started looking more into that, and I realized that the economy is great for the 1%, and for the people who aren’t really working to make the country function on a day-to-day basis.

“I watched a lot of people in my life who still support Trump still flounder in finances.”

Despite her regret, Luckenbach-Boman said that vote had “changed her life”. She decided to focus on politics at college, and has worked on two campaigns to register voters this year.

She will vote for Biden in Michigan – another key swing state Trump narrowly won in 2016 – and harbors hopes of one day running for elected office.

...

“I just want to apologize to the world,” said Julie, a fraud manager from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who asked that the Guardian not use her real name.

“I feel so guilty for having a part in voting this moron in.”

So white women are not afraid of a huge increases in murder, robbery and rape? And they will feel more “secure” when social workers replace police
under Biden? Utter nonsense.

She lives in Michigan and works with SouthCarolinaVotes, a subsidiary of Vote.org, which tries to appear non-partisan, but is prog.

“I am afraid that you Mr. Marx are more confused than the misdirected woman this article is about.”

We have so many freepers whose imaginary cat or dog was abused by the evil Trump, and that is why Trump will lose.

Women want to be safe above all. Real men do that for them, but they are listening to the media and to the Democrats and now believe that the Democrats can deliver because Trump has failed to do it.

Reality, the facts, and rational thought does not matter at this point. Right now, they are voting for Biden. My wife claims to be a conservative, but she didn’t vote for Trump last time out and no way she votes for Trump again. She will doom her son, her daughter in law and their two daughters with one in the hopper to a miserable life. She doesn’t give a shit.

A woman with a hyphenated last name is never a conservative.

Incredibly pretentious, too. What happens the next generation. Two hyphens?

Or that she even exists. Since we have no name where we can go and ask the person, it could just be a Guardian writer wet dream from the get go.

This woman did not vote for Trump. She skirts all around it but never says that she actually voted for him. It says that she has something to do with fraud. She can start by investigating her own self.

Stupid leftist b*tches—all of them!! This specific “college-educated” dumb@ss is probably a whiny public school teacher or some other kind of vile government worker—with a “degree” in “social welfare”, “education,” “communications” or other degrees for the dull-normal.

These “woke” skanks were never really Republicans in the first place. I look forward to kicking their FAT DUMPY @sses in November. I also look forward to round two of these skanks screaming and crying on election night because they lost AGAIN.

More BS is right!

"I just want to apologize to the world,” said Julie, a fraud manager from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, who asked that the Guardian not use her real name."

Nothing says credible like a "fraud manager" who makes some anonymous statement.

But you learn something every day. I guess a "fraud manager" decides what kind of fraud to commit and plans how to do it on time and within the budget. I wonder if it is a typical job at the Democratic Party.

The Guardian writing an article that is negative on PDJT? SAY IT AIN'T SO!

I am SHOCKED, absolutely SHOCKED, I tell you! It shocks me almost as much as seeing a NYT article on PDJT, that is negative. There is a reason that readers of The Guardian are known as Guardianistas!

The article obviously focused on women who were already lefties and not very honest. That said, we need to chat with women in our communities. Keep it subtle. Don’t mention political names or hot buttons. Talk about freedoms, jobs, fun and public safety (riots, violent crime, self-defense, etc.).

Seminar fake-voter.

Way more than that. She is a professional activist for the Democrat Party and other left leaning causes.

She chose to use her real name, so showing what she does when she is not making up statements for the Guardian will not intrude on her privacy.

Ms. Luckenbach-Boman is a recruiter at South Carolina Votes, and a volunteer for the Michigan Democratic Party according to her Linked-In profile. South Carolina Votes is a part of the government of South Carolina, presumably she is recruiting poll workers. I wonder if they will be unbiased and neutral. I also wonder why someone from Detroit is working for the government of South Carolina.

Her Linked-In profile says she is looking for work as a "Political Intern · Campaign Intern · Nonprofit · Policy Intern · Political Organizer"

Yep, that's your typical Republican voter. Somebody who wants a career in politics in the Democrat party.

She’s obviously trolling for a Democrat funded job in the political industry.

Exactly. Take a look at her Linked-In profile Here

She is "#OpenToWork": Political Intern · Campaign Intern · Nonprofit · Policy Intern · Political Organizer

I assume that there was a rending of garments and self flagellation accompanying the pleading.
