But, fwiw, he's voting for Kamala this time. Thinks Trump is a danger to democracy.


Coming from the side that hid a mentally incompetent president, then forced him from the race (and disenfranchising 14M+ voters) and then installed a candidate who was not primaried and gave her all of the other guy’s money? Yeah, STFU about democracy.


Coming from a side that is okay with all the shenanigans to over throw the results of the last election, you can STFU about democracy too. Oh you aren't R? Sure you aren't

Ohhhh, someone is mad that their team so obviously has the losing ticket this time.

There are still quality guys out there because you’re in your young 30s. Imagine if you’d married him and had a kid! There are no quality single guys in their 50s. My divorced cousin is finding this out to her chagrin. I’d take this as a sign to get a little therapy. My therapist taught me how to spot the kinds of guys I was looking for. This is a decision you really need to get right the first time, if at all possible.

It isn't normal to think that it's "debatable" whether a corrupt, rapist, pos who (to anyone w/ an IQ above one digit) cares nothing about democracy and tried to overthrow it, would sentence people to death for any reason involving his own ego and has never in his entire sh*t life been a patriot or made any sacrifices for this nation, is qualified to be president.

And if your stupid instinct is to think that's some automatic defense of the Democrats, it's why putrid MAGAs have earned their reputation for being putrid. Absolutely no ability to see how vile you must be to support that scum.


He still went to an Ivy league school. And so did the craziest at the supreme court and a non negligible members of Republican congresspeople. We have a weird and interesting system in this country to be honest. Some of the people who are trying to destroy our country went to some our best colleges but we still refer to them as having low IQs and/or have low regard for their intellect.


Can you read? That PP is not talking about the IQ of the candidate. It's about the intellectual ability of anyone who can't see who he really is (when he's literally telling us exactly who he is!)

NP. Do you mind giving the rest of us any hints?

You need to dump him.

I used to be able to date republicans easily, as a moderate to slightly progressive Dem. it worked out ok for most of my dating life. But since 2016, it's been so much harder. And there aren't enough democratic men to match up with all the lefty women here, so the struggle is real. I recently broke up with someone who voted for trump twice but wasn't MAGA. Probably good timing given recent events.

In the past, it was not a big deal. Now, I feel like certain political stances are intolerable, promoting criminal behavior or sexism or anti-government. I couldn’t be with someone who condones those things.

Hurts to have to run your weirdo fascist candidate against a party finally ready to do what it takes to win and save the republic, eh?

Return to Russia!

I am married to someone with different political views. He thinks that gearing up for a war with china should be our biggest political priority, I think that protecting abortion rights should be our biggest political priority. I am mature enough to respect his opinion and not let it impact our relationship.

You see, right, how this is different from the differences of opinion that you're talking about?

It's so easy for men to say that it's immature of women to refuse to date people who are pro-Trump because they don't have to bear the consequences of a Trump presidency. It's not their rights that will be stripped away. Don't listen to these people.

My husband and father both consider themselves Republican, because the party used to represent fiscal conservativatism, strong military and religious policies (or something along those lines). Remember Reagan and Bush? They were honorable enough. But now the GOP is crazy. They won’t vote for the crazy people. There’s different political views and then there’s crazy Trumpers.

Having different views political or otherwise is fine. But if one or both of you is an extremist then it’s a problem. My husband and I are moderates on different sides and we do just fine. A marriage is a series of compromises so we are able to make it work. My husband is pro life but he does believe in a woman’s right to choose within reason.

The brain washing has worked well! Hats off to the deep state that runs the media. So scary.
