It’s election day

November 5, 2024

The day of the election that many people (including myself) have come to think of as the election from hell. Although, according to The Free Press:

It’s Election Day, though for millions the election is already over. That’s because a record number of Americans have already cast their ballots.

More than 78 million Americans have already voted—half the total who voted in 2020—thanks to mail-in ballots and early voting. More than 4 million people cast early ballots in Georgia, more than 90 percent of them in person. In Pennsylvania, 1.7 million people voted by mail. Even states devastated by Hurricane Helene saw remarkably high early voter turnout. North Carolina surpassed its 2020 record, with over 4.2 million voting early. South Carolina reported 1.5 million pre–Election Day votes, the most the state has ever seen. Meanwhile, Florida saw 8 million early voters. 

Unlike all of these millions of Americans, I waited until today to cast my vote. Tonight, I plan to join The Free Press’s live election coverage on YouTube to chat with other grumpy voters (and non-voters). You can find it here if you’d like to come along, starting at 7 p.m. ET. 

In the meantime, here is a great piece by UK feminist journalist Jo Bartosch in Spiked titled, “Joe Biden: the first trans-activist president: The outgoing president sacrificed women’s rights and children’s safety at the altar of gender identity.” In it, she quotes WDI USA president Elizabeth Chesak as saying: 

Whether or not Biden actually believes that a woman can have a penis, it is apparent that his human-rights policies are driven by transgender ideologues. Many of us once again feel disenfranchised by both major parties, as Republicans want to restrict abortion access, and Democrats have sold out to gender-identity ideology, which radical feminists see as a men’s rights movement. Democrats may continue to see women leave the party as long as the political left shows women they see them as nothing more than an idea in a man’s head.

I don’t deserve an ounce of credit for that quote by Elizabeth because I had nothing to do with writing it, but I would like to think I had some distant influence on the thinking behind it. Of course I love all the UK feminists, but of all of them, Jo might be my favorite. That’s because we bond over being extremely short women with loud mouths and firm opinions.

Anyway, below is the skinny on why I voted when I did and who received my votes, if you’re interested …
