I don’t know about the other married people out there, but I married a grown-ass woman who can vote for whomever she damn well pleases.

@adhdeanasl @mardigroan This. 100% This.

My wife and I both vote. Generally vote the same, but will occasionally disagree. And, you know what? That's totally okay. We're different humans. Different people have different opinions sometimes.

@adhdeanasl With all respect to you for not being an abusive jerk, this particular discourse is about the ones who are, and centering yourself as a good person, instead of addressing the reality that this is not a universal experience sort of recenters the discussion around you displaying what a good person you are. I’m quite certain that’s not the intent, but in effect, it’s kinda #NotAllMen, the poll-booth variation.
@adhdeanasl Did she tell you that you could say that?
@Bodling Kind of ordered me to, really

@adhdeanasl

I think that's the point of "Your husband doesn't need to know how you voted" posts, right?

If a husband thinks his wife is obligated to vote in alignment with his political positions, he's a misogynist. If leaders in his political party suggests that wives should vote in alignment with their husband's political positions, the whole party is misogynist.

All the more reason to vote in opposition.

@adhdeanasl I also married a great-ass woman

Sorry, wrong thread

@adhdeanasl a fine example of the use of a variant of the word ass https://youtu.be/RAGcDi0DRtU?si=F5RgQcs7WrndcB8E

Well, at the recent local council elections, I asked my wife to do all the research and then tell me who to vote for. Such an obedient husband am I.

Anyway, after we sent our voting papers off I finally did do a bit of background research on the order of candidates she had chosen for me, and do you know? she was dead right! 😊πŸ₯°
