I’m a millennial (“emotional”) woman and this is my emotional rant of why conservatives are losing young women: I drove home yesterday after spending nearly a month in Phoenix, fighting for a hard fought win in Mesa, so excited for our team, but disheartened by the outcome of other races across the country. As a woman that works in politics, having dreamed of living in NYC as a little girl and still loves that city to this day, I was left alone with my thoughts for two hours. How in the world did a socialist just win 84% of the young women vote in NYC? How did 65% of women my age vote for a socialist? What needs to change? 4 things. 1) STOP THE ATTACKS. Women are emotional by nature. They vote with their emotions and heart more than pure “logic” (as men do) - we must recognize this and embrace it instead of saying things online like, “women are too emotional and shouldn’t be allowed to vote” or “women are so dumb.” - I saw this all over X yesterday. ATTACKING women is not how we will ever win them over. 2) Stop the infighting. Women are sick of it. I cannot tell you how many girlfriends that voted for Trump in 2024 have told me they are just “so tired of the divisiveness and no longer even want to be involved.” It’s exhausting. Millennial women are trying to raise babies, hold down a job, run a household, be a wife, and the last thing we have energy for is the battle of egos in male dominated politics. We will continue to lose the suburban women vote the longer we keep destroying each other - women are checked out and it’s a turn off. 3) STRONG MEN MATTER and we are lacking them. Mamdani was seen as the father and the husband that many of these women likely did not have in their lives. Women want to be taken care of and Mamdani has promised to do that. He is full of charisma and preyed on the emotions of young women and the void they are feeling. Strong men that respect women, protect women, that value their opinions instead of feeling threatened by them, that see women’s unique strengths as the perfect partnership from God to their masculine dominate traits - we need more of these men. 4) Economics and the family unit - this goes along with number 3 - we have to figure this out. If women are struggling to survive financially, cannot buy a house, struggle to make ends meet each month, work a job that pays barely enough to cover the cost of child care, and have been promised an “American Dream” that they feel is duped - they are naturally going to run to the man who offers a false sense of safety and security. …. and yes I realize all 4 of these points have a “feelings” or emotional component - but that’s exactly the point.
