This is v. important.
Black voting behavior is unique in that there aren’t huge splits by gender and geography, even while there’s tremendous ideological diversity among Black voters who lean overwhelmingly Democratic. We all get that. (And there are mechanisms to police that behavior.)
But listening to @cmMcConnaughy’s points about this, you start to see how there aren’t the same mechanisms binding the voting imperatives of the liberal white woman who lives in Philly and went to Penn and the white evangelical lady from Stone Mountain, Ga.
Black people have ways to collect other Black people re: voting behavior, and can wield really powerful incentives and disincentives. (Republicans thought Kanye would bring Black folks over to the GOP; but Kanye only managed to get himself disinvited from the cookout.)
All of that has to do with historical racism and #housingsegregationineverything. There’s not really a way for white women to do that to each other, tho.
(And mind you, I’m only talking abt voting behavior here and not the ways that, like, liberal white women in big blue cities are also still very invested in white supremacy.)
