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.
Hmmm….
MAybe that is beause, since you are currently single andhave no children, then need to focus on you and your peer group is not as strong, not neccessarily as important. I say this due to the kid factor. Though there is nothing wrong with you not having children, in turn, you are not raising any to be politically aware and therefore, not contributing to the parties future livelihood.
Just a thought, but yes, yo ushould be represented just as equally.
Never thought about that before…
