Democratic women are embracing fear as a campaign strategy, expressing concern about the possibility of another Trump presidency and urging voters to be scared. This approach was successful for Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections and is now being applied to politics in general, not just the issue of abortion. However, while fear may motivate left-leaning women to vote, it is not contributing to their overall well-being. Liberal women tend to be less happy than their conservative counterparts, and they also express greater discontent with the treatment of women in society. The fear factor could potentially be a long-term winning strategy for Democrats, particularly as young women become increasingly liberal. However, the success of this strategy will depend on the quality of the candidates offered by the party. Vice President Kamala Harris, for example, has low approval ratings, which could impact the 2024 election. The article suggests that Democrats should focus less on fearmongering and more on addressing their own challenges if they hope to retain the White House. [Extracted from the article]

In the great drama the audience wonders what might happen next. [Extracted from the article]
