I live and work in a rural area-the only people I know who call themselves “moderates” are actually democrat voters-the large number of us are independent voters not registered with a party, but we vote republican. I really don’t get how urban dwellers who are not democrats even survive any more-that is a very different place to live...
I don’t think we have any of those “suburban moms”-maybe because this isn’t a burb, and not as many kids are in public school as in a small Christian school or homeschooled-we do have a few Karens/Rinos who squeal and faint any time a candidate doesn’t sing kumbaya or just shut up rather than responding in kind to verbal abuse-but most of us are intending to vote for a president who brings the venganza to democrats-mean tweets, profane language and all-we are voting for a straight-up street fighter-not a parish priest...
I grew up eating Macomb County politics.
Home of the famous Reagan Democrats.
It is those people, more their offspring that remain as moderates.
There is a thin line between an Independent and Moderate. AKA swing voters.
Michigan does not require you to register with a party. Many states don’t, many states do.
Whoever our nominee is, they need those “Swing” voters.
Michigan, Ohio, Penn., Georgia do have suburbs. They go from large cities to suburban areas then rural, geographically.
The definition of a suburban mom varies.
Many have college degrees.
Usually they work full time and still take care of their children and home life. They are younger than most here.
They are a huge voting block that require consideration and courting.
