It is not “not voting“ for KH.
It is voting for the turd that is the issue, and the extreme lack of morals, values, and decency that he represents.

It is not about voting for Harris or Trump but what each party and more importantly each platform represents.

I’m a lifetime Democrat but having a Republican POTUS, usually, is not a big deal. This election was a big deal because of the alleged proposals (Project 2025) and changes to federal agencies. Also, have we ever had a POTUS so generally angry and delusional?


And yet you have the Democrats doubling down on how they do things instead of listening to their voter base. They are never going to change until they have the fear of <insert preferred deity here> put into them. Hopefully this election will have done the trick and they’ll learn how to hold a proper primary.


North Carolina had 2M people vote for someone who is a Holocaust denier and thinks 9/11 is probably fake and calls himself a black nazi... but sure it's the Dem's that need to figure out how to get them to vote differently.

SMFH


Exactly! 40% who voted for Trump are "long gone and unreachable". They are a cult and racists. It's only the other 10% the D can even reach at this point. And apparently money matters more to them than anything else (or they are deep down a bit racists and misogynistic).

Easy to say when you are a white male (or any male). Shocking how many people cannot have empathy if it does not literally personally affect them.



Meh it doesn’t affect her either. She just chooses to have it affect her. And the son is free to decide he doesn’t want that negativity dictating his life. Good for him!


Doesn't affect her? What if she is pregnant and needs medical care, but is in a state (Texas for example) where they let women die rather than providing the available medical care?

You are delusional if you think a trump presidency will not adversely affect women.

No comparison between B Clinton and Trump, none at all. Yes, he was not perfect, but compared to Trump, yeah he's "perfect" and has morals.

My favorite quote from Myrna in the Outlaws:
'I know you white blokes have had it good since the Bronze Age and the last couple of years might have been a bit confusing, but if you find yourself thinking, "Is this offensive?" just assume that it is and go about your business."

Did we vote for him after he got impeached? I don't think you remember that as well as you think you do.

Imagine marrying a guy and later realizing that he thinks you *should* have access to healthcare. Total deal breaker.

Good for her. She’s young. She’ll find someone else.

+1 I have a friend who works with the EPA and votes D, and her ILs vote R and dislike the EPA. The love how Trump is going to dismantle the EPA, which will impact her job.

Any man who thinks lawyers should determine what is considered a medical emergency does not love his wife, gf, sister.

Still not a good fit.


Strong political beliefs are not exactly attractive in a woman. OP's daughter will probably replace the bf easily, but the issue is whether the next guy will be an upgrade or downgrade.

What a gross outlook. I'm glad women have a political voice and choice. People who don't care about this stuff are lacking depth of character.


Caring and obsession are two different vehicles in life. Crossing that line is damaging in so many ways.


Yes, the obsessive worship of Trump by MAGA to the point where they deny reality and defend his easily-debunked lies is so damaging to them and to our country. It's cult-like behavior and so hard to deprogram.


MAGA/President Trump are dealing with reality. VP Kamala Harris lied repeatedly during the 107 day campaign in an attempt to trick voters. VP Harris lives in a fantasy world of celebrities and the ultra-wealthy who thrive on telling others what to think & believe rather than focusing on listening to voters' real world concerns.

The right person & party won. The far left was just focusing on silly issues that are a sure sign of a society's downfall. And, before you guess/assume my politics, I am a registered Democrat (which will change soon) and I respect & adore Independent Senator
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Nicki Haley, Joe Manchin,and many others holding opposing positions.


Wow, you’ve been brainwashed. Wild.

She doesn’t live in Texas.
And doesn’t have to move there if the state’s policies are not aligning with her almost-certain-and-vital need (in your view) to retain the right to end the life of a baby up until the moment of birth.
So maaaaayyyybe calm down on that.

And life-saving care is decidedly not the same as birth-control abortions.

But you already know that. And yet you choose to use extreme examples as though this is a common occurrence when the reality is that if/when exceptions are made to accommodate that, you still have an issue and your actual “argument” is that you think everyone should be fine with abortion as birth control.
And they aren’t.

Relax though Karen. Your DD can have as many abortions as you want her to have in about 37 or the 50 states.

Except...only South Dakota has proven that actually a majority of the actual electorate wants significant abortion restrictions.

Kansas, Missouri, Arizona, Nebraska (approved up to 12 weeks vs 26)...even Florida...a significant majority want legal abortion for whatever reason. Unfortunately, Florida needed 60% even though 58% voted in favor of the ballot initiative.

So, in fact the majority of people everywhere are in favor of abortion for any reason. I guarantee it would pass in Texas.
