'Our House Is on Fire': Suburban Women Lead Charge Vs. Trump
US News & World Report ^ | October 19, 2020 | Claire Galafaro

TROY, Mich. (AP) — She walks with the determination of a person who believes the very fate of democracy might depend on the next door she knocks on, head down, shoulders forward. She wears nothing fussy, the battle fatigues of her troupe: yoga pants and sneakers. She left her Lincoln Aviator idling in the driveway, the driver door open -- if this house wasn’t the one to save the nation, she can move quickly to the next.

For most of her life, until 2016, Lori Goldman had been politically apathetic. Had you offered her $1 million, she says, she could not have described the branches of government in any depth. She voted, sometimes.

Now every moment she spends not trying to rid America of President Donald Trump feels like wasted time.

“We take nothing for granted,” she tells her canvassing partner. “They say Joe Biden is ahead. Nope. We work like Biden is behind 20 points in every state.”

Goldman spends every day door knocking for Democrats in Oakland County, Michigan, an affluent Detroit suburb. She feels responsible for the country’s future: Trump won Michigan in 2016 by 10,700 votes and that helped usher him into the White House. Goldman believes people like her -- suburban white women -- could deliver the country from another four years of chaos.

For many of those women, the past four years have meant frustration, anger and activism — a political awakening that powered women's marches, the #MeToo movement and the victories of record numbers of female candidates in 2018. That energy has helped create the widest gender gap — the political divide between men and women — in recent history. And it has started to show up in early voting as women are casting their ballots earlier than men.

Just because she’s made bad decisions in her life doesn’t mean that she gets to ruin mine...

Lori should keep her Lincoln Aviator in her garage so she could shed the extra load of fat she’s carrying around her midsection. I doubt she gives those yoga pants much of a workout. Her Ruthless shirt makes me laugh. The only thing ruthless about Ruth was her support for murdering innocent and helpless babies. I hope God is ruthless towards Ruth.

To me, the fact that they feel the need to ground-pound for votes in an affluent Detroit suburb (that went D +14 just two years ago) is saying a lot....

The ChiComs are so desperate for semi good fake news.

They bought US News & World Report, and pay their trolls to post this B$ posing as new fake news instead of new Humpher news re his computer musings.

are there NO attractive Dems all of our people are really attractive them not so much, no wonder they have mental problems!!are there NO attractive Dems ... no wonder they have mental problems!!

You've got cause and effect confused. They are unattractive because of their mental and spiritual health.

An RBF is not attractive, it wasn't on RBG, it isn't on any woman, or man.

I’d tell this CNN possessed woman to get the hell off my porch.

Ma'am, you can respect my privacy, or you can respect my marksmanship, your call...

This creature and her ilk DO NOT represent me. Quite frankly, I’m sick of their audacity. Sharing my gender doesn’t give them free reign over my wants or needs and to represent themselves as my voice is fraudulent. I know for a FACT I’m not alone in this. Gloria Steinem can KMA. She’s done more damage than she’s given credit for.

I’d tell her that there’s no need for her to recruit me, that my mind is long made up and that I’m going to vote for Biden enthusiastically. I want them to be flabbergasted the morning of Nov. 4.

Evil, pure evil.
