Your own link shows that 51% support up to 15 weeks, but only 27% up to 24 weeks. Am guessing OP supports beyond 15 weeks, putting her into the minority. |

OP.
For a non Republican voter, that pp is taking my post very personally. It seems to bother her in particular and the Republican voters in general, but my views are in the majority. Most Americans understand the global warming is real and needs to be addressed, most Americans think the rule of law should be upheld and that a party should not commit treason and most people think abortion should be safe, legal and accessible. Whereas the Republican Party says global warming isn’t real and if it is it’s not because of anything that humans have done, that treason is defensible and that abortion should be illegal nationwide. The answer to my question has been supplied: the Republican Party offers moderates like me nothing at all. This thread offered lots of personal attacks and attacks on this thread, but not a single person could make an argument for why a moderate like me should cast a vote for any Republican Party candidate. |
Why are you getting bogged down with the number of weeks? OP didn’t mention anything about weeks. |

Most Americans support abortion rights https://www.axios.com/2023/07/12/most-americans-support-abortion-poll You can quibble over 15 weeks, or the Roe standard, or whatever. The Republicans have BANNED abortion in the states where they have the ability to do so, which is NOT what most Americans support. In fact, YOU are in the minority - not OP, who gave the barest outline of her beliefs, including the right to choose. |
Huh? I’m pro-choice AND the op is a democrat. |
It’s the new Republican talking point and line of attack. Paint democrats as extreme on abortion, that includes lying about “post birth abortions” and pretending that 15 weeks is the same a Roe. It’s not. Not by almost 10 weeks. Not by almost trimester, but here we are. Democrats obviously aren’t fighting back and allowing them to do it, because water is wet. |
I’m the PP who won’t vote Republican who is pointing out that you aren’t a moderate and that it’s rational for Republicans to see through you. Disagreement and pointing out facts/quotes from your own posts is not “taking things very personally.” Goodness, what a weird take to have on a message board. To be totally candid, your bizarre posts in this thread are a mini advertisement for not voting for Democrats, which is actually my real worry in this election. I am worried that Democrats have become so overall bizarre and weird that people will just stay home rather than vote. Democrats depend on turnout, but as a party they allow their messaging to be dominated by an increasingly unhinged progressive wing, and so as a party they just sound weirder and weirder. You are online with that shift, OP, but I think bizarre theatrics like yours do not help the overall cause. I’m genuinely worried that Trump will win again. Actually, I think there is a good chance of it, and it’s because Democrats can’t keep the increasingly insane progressive wing under control. Posts like yours, OP, where you pretend you’re a moderate but people can see the truth, are a subset of what’s happening in the party as a whole. And that sort of gaslighting across the party as a whole is going to put Trump back in office. |
You are way overthinking this. Basically OP’s post is “I’m a normal American with the following views, which are shared by most normal Americans. Why should I vote for a Republican?” And there have been zero answers from Republicans. |
+1 It's been, surprising isn't the word, but striking |
Because they know OP is transparently a liar, and people of all political persuasions don’t like to answer to demands from liars, generally. Why are you defending OPs behavior? It’s the kind of behavior that is causing people to walk away from the Democrats, this weird combination of demands and gaslighting. It’s very off-putting. |
“I have the strongest most fantastic reasons for voting Republican! They are ready to go and we will reveal them in 2 weeks!” |
I’m sure Trump appreciates your and OPs campaigns for him. Nice of you to contribute to the Republican cause. |
^^ THIS! |
“I’m voting for an authoritarian because someone was mean to me on the mommy-interweb-grumbleboard.” Suck it |
