I feel like this is probably pretty effective. I feel like it should be a thing.

Yeah no. Continuing this rhetoric is exactly how the Democrats will continue to lose elections. Making vast assumptions about men and telling them they’re lesser is what drove away voters for the past 4 years. The vast majority of men have no desire or whim to do any of what you claim.

Edit: Just realized the swipe typo. Corrected.

Doesn’t need to be vast. You saw how a tiny group called MAGA got control of the government and people’s minds. You underestimate their plan. The next four years is going to be a lot of, “but… they can’t do that?!” for a lot of people.

Once again. No. What lost the democrats the win was Kamala. Biden refusing to step down earlier so proper primaries could be done (not sure why they didn’t just hold primaries ANYWAY). The democrat party proved in 2020 that nobody wanted or even like Kamala (https://www.vox.com/2019/11/20/20953284/kamala-harris-polls-2020-election or lookup any poll from 2019). Her inability to actually talk about her platform (and how she’ll attain her actual goals) and answer the question being asked lost her a lot too. A hard focus on issues that were not “top of mind” for the majority of the country didn’t help either. Not some conspiracy that a handful of republicans are pulling the strings everywhere. People were simply unmotivated to vote for someone who couldn’t answer how she’d do any of what she claimed to want to do.

Regardless of what you think the border IS a valid problem.

Now there’s some magic plan? Either they’re stupid or masterminds. You can’t really have it both ways. Nobody is out there convincing people that women aren’t human and have no rights. Stop with your nonsense.

Total votes cast: 143,000,000

Percentage of voters who are women: 54%

Number of female voters: 143,000,000 × 0.54 = 77,220,000

Percentage of women who voted for Harris: 54%

Estimated number of women who voted for Harris: 77,220,000 × 0.54 ≈ 41,698,800

This is a rough estimate. More complete data will become available later.

I think that’s enough people to have an impact

  1. Assumptions:

We assume that 41.7 million women strictly adhere to the B4 movement.

This group represents a significant share of women of childbearing age (usually defined as 15-44 years in demographic studies).

We estimate the average U.S. woman has around 1.7 children over her lifetime, aligning with current U.S. fertility rates.

  1. Impact on Births:

41.7 million women choosing not to have children would mean approximately 1.7 fewer children per woman, over their lifetimes.

This would potentially prevent around 70.9 million births (41.7 million x 1.7) in the long term, assuming these women otherwise would have had children.

  1. Annual Impact:

Spread over an average reproductive lifetime (roughly 30 years), this impact would reduce the birth rate by about 2.36 million births annually (70.9 million divided by 30 years).

Annual U.S. births could drop from 3.6 million to approximately 1.24 million, which is a ~65% decrease in the birth rate.
