forgotten
I’m a forgotten demographic.
Pollsters pay attention to soccer moms, security moms, pink-collar women (those who are blue-collar working women), Nascar dads, Bubbas (blue collar, typically southern but not necessarily so), minorities, and many other demographics.
They rarely pay attention to educated, working single women.
We don’t factor in.
We pay taxes. We have money to donate to causes that interest us. We are motivated to make things happen. We could be a powerful voice because of our relative affluence. We could make all the difference in an election.
No one cares about our opinions, though.
I realized this today when listening to a report about those demographics that are being targeted.
I’m forgotten.
That could be a mistake.
