+1 because the policies are focused on things I am concerned about; like the economy.

The topic of this thread is things you’ve changed your mind about. I find it hard to believe there’s a Clinton, Biden, Trump voter out there. In fact, I just don’t believe it.

Maybe go back 80 years and rethink that statement. They have a right to be on edge..

JUST KIDDING

Anonymous wrote:Abortion - always considered myself pro choice but never gave the issue much thought. It wasn’t until I experienced pregnancy and childbirth myself and saw how dangerous it can be and what it does to the body that I became staunchly pro choice and think abortion bans are barbaric

Religion - no longer think that being anti-religion/atheist/agnostic is peak intellectualism

Old houses - used to always insist that new houses are cheesy and soulless and dull and I would never live in a house less than 50 years old…still love old houses but they can be such a PITA and I get the appeal of having a new/newer home where everything just…works

Systemic racism is REAL

Not going to kill myself over being environmentally friendly…I recycle, I don’t litter, and I turn the lights off but reusing zip loc bags, turning the shower water off unless actively rinsing, etc…nah. Doesn’t make that much of a dent compared to the impact of corporations

Used to think the only difference between a good school and a bad school was the students…the good schools simply have higher ses students and the bad schools have poor students with trauma, lack of home support, etc. Then taught at a “bad” school and compared it to my “good” school growing up…the teachers, the admin, the organization and systems and structure all so lacking, it wasn’t JUST that the students came from underprivileged backgrounds

Grammar - used to be so superior and judgy about grammar, now I get annoyed with people who are judgmental about grammar. Between learning disabilities, people whose first language is not English, or just people who don’t know the rules very well…it’s such a dumb thing to be elitist about; as long as I can understand what you’re saying, who cares

Capital punishment - never had strong feelings either way, now am staunchly and completely opposed

Used to be so concerned about not doing “touristy” things while traveling and try my hardest not to make myself seem “American”…now…meh. Obviously I still respect the customs of an area and I won’t be the one to be standing still on the left side of an escalator (to use a DC tourist vs. local reference!) but I *am* an American tourist. If the clunky white sneakers are what make me comfortable during a long day of walking around, I’ll wear them…I couldn’t care less if they scream “American.” I will go to “touristy” things if they interest me; there’s a reason they are popular!

College is not the only path to success and we should be promoting those other options just as much as we do college. Similarly, obsessing over college rankings and acting like going to a top rated college is the only path to success or will be one’s ticket to prosperity, success, a good job, etc. is dumb

I have become very anti-pit bull over the years and also find most pit bull owners super annoying. Pit bull apologists are the worst

I agree 1000% with every word you wrote and shows my exact trajectory of flips as well.

Kamala Harris. I was glad Biden stepped down, but was dismayed that everyone closed ranks around her as the nominee so quickly. I didn’t think she was up to the job.

Have never been so happy to be wrong! I think she’s really stepped up and is doing a fantastic job. I am excited to vote for her in November!

I have never in my life sat around and thought about Jewish people and taking mental energy to form opinions about them. Why would anyone do so? They are just people and like all people they do not share everything in common.

I grew up hating the idea of eating fish. It was gross to me.

Fast forward to post college, and a work mentor took me to lunch and ordered me a broiled Chilean sea bass. Mmmmm it was so good! Now I eat all the fishes, even sushi.

I grew up a staunch Baptist through college, but have been happily atheist for 10 years now and not looking back. Have even encouraged my teen to explore religions and spirituality for himself and decide what he chooses to believe in.

Marriage.

Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of being married. I watched Disney and romance movies obsessively. I spent my entire 20s reading online how to be marriage material and followed it to a T - cooking, cleaning, good with kids, in shape, no partying or sleeping around, etc.

And marriage just never happened for me. I did get pregnant from a boyfriend on accident and I agreed to move in with him and be a family in the condition we get married before the baby was born. He agreed, but the proposal never came.

It’s been years, he never proposed, we’ve talked about it a zillion times and he promises it’s coming, never does.

We’re still together, and I love him, but I’ve given up on marriage. I don’t even want to marry him at this point. I’m sad that my lifelong dream won’t happen, but content with my life.

Sometimes I wonder what I would do if he ever did propose. I started making a lot more money than him recently, and I wonder he’d want to get married to get access to that. I’d probably fly into a rage.

But, who knows. I also tell myself that I’m not married, so there’s no reason I can’t date someone else if someone interesting came along.

Anyone concerned about the economy would not vote for Trump and is stupid if they do

Mass deportations will crush the economy
Tariffs will crush the lower and middle class at 60 percent
