And this is the first one we've had one with 2 divorces and an affair with a porn actress. Are you sure people care?


Yes. He is still married to a woman. A lot of men have similar morals to his but don't have the money to get away with the same stunts he pulls.

I am married, straight, female, white, cis, bureaucrat, religious, homeowner. Which party do you place me in?

I really hope he runs for president. This is what our constitution needs- a protecter and truth-speaker!


Anyone who can maintain ambiguity about his preferences well into his 50s AND talk for 25 hours without stopping is a natural born politician, that’s for sure!


There is nothing ambiguous here.

I used to think he was a bit corny when he ran for Pres prior, but his brand of corny actually moved many during his 25-hour speech.

This may be the right moment for him to do the next thing on a long list of next things he's excelled at (Football player, College President, Master Degree, Rhodes Scholar, Law Degree, Mayor, Senator. More than just the accolades, he comes across as an authentic, kind and non-partisan man who will put his physical comfort and health aside (25-hour speech, hunger fasts in the past, moving into the projects to connect with a community) to take a stand for what he believes in.

And he did it without blaming ordinary Americans or political parties. "This is not Right or Left, it's Right or Wrong. This is not a partisan moment, it's a moral moment."

God bless him. He displayed leadership and drive and it impressed me.


He is very talented but if you are alluding to running for president in the bolded statement above, he won't win.

He is unmarried for a reason. Absolutely no one believes he actually dated Rosario Dawson.


But MAGA told me they only hate transgender people existing, not gay people existing. Were they being less than forthright???

Interesting. Do you think they’ll change their minds as they get older? Or are they committed to the no kids path?

And do you think this has to do with growing up around liberal politics (i.e. influence from parents, teachers) or do you think it’s more generational (their same age peers are less likely to want kids than previous generations)?

The dcurbanmoms party. One of our blind spots is living like Republicans while voting like Democrats. It makes us doubt the voter statistics. “No way most homeowners vote Republican.” Yes way.

MAGA isn't voting for Corey Booker anyway. Not sure where this statement was supposed to lead.

No-one EXCEPT hyperpartisan Dems believe that Democrats are somehow “more moral” than Republicans. Because no-one believes it, we should stop saying it!

Instead, we need to start doing things FOR the voters. Including helping to pass the most popular parts of Trump’s agenda. It’s a bitter pill—I’d rather just obstruct. But if we spend four years refusing to give the voters what they want, we’ll be even LESS popular than we are now.

If you really think that Democrats don't have the moral high ground in the US right now, then you should just keep voting for Trump. We aren't for you.


I'm not sure if "moral high ground" is something either party can claim at this time with all things being considered. Less low ground maybe?

I do think it's safe to say those that supported the re-election of Trump in 2024 have less appreciation for and understanding of the importance of integrity in a POTUS considering they supported a person that had the job previously and while supposedly on the job, he refused to answer calls and messages containing pleas for his help for THREE hours while security was being breached and most of our high ranking members of Federal Government were being chased to the basement of the US Capitol Building by a mob of hundreds. There are some bat poop crazy or just plain stupid people out there.


Not sure what you mean. He was supporting the patriots saving America from the legislature.

He supported them for 4 years afterward and finally saved them.

You're telling on yourself, not on anyone else.

Seriously. Get out more, talk to people IRL. Socialize with humans face-to-face instead of chatbots.


These are just voter stats. Each group in the left column votes more than 50% for Democrats and each group in the right column votes more than 50% for Republicans. If these unbiased statistics feel so “off” to you that you confidently insult the poster sharing them, then you’re the one telling on yourself and you’re the one who should talk to people in real life (outside the beltway).


If you don't understand the difference between between 55%-90% and 90%-100%, and can't understand that some people are both white and female, or immigrant and heterosexual, you should probably ask your high school teachers for help.

51-46
How ownership give close to 0 information about voting preference.

Renters have a much more extreme split (towards Democrats)

Stop trying to invent divisions that don't exist.

Democrats know about the importance of January 6th! Why oh why didn’t the viters care about “our truth”?


I reckon too many in our current crop of viters just aint all that bright.


Touché!

Yes. Who cares about the past re this
issue (IMO)

Also, I don’t use the word cis I never learned that prefix in school. I do believe people can live and express themselves 100 percent as they wish over the age of 18.

I don’t care if the age of consent is controversial. Sometimes the parents are batty, as everyone knows
