Political Discussion
I think it’s more that the Democrats preach depressing nihilism and that’s attractive to lonely people. |
It is interesting. I think it's because many married women have children, and so they're more plugged into community issues - public safety, schools, cost of groceries etc. And Democrats tend to be on the wrong side of everyday quality of life issues - particularly schools and crime. |
This. When I was single, I didn’t care nearly enough about schools, inflation, cost of living, immigration, or any other political issue for them to affect my voting. I didn’t even understand what school choice was, beyond knowing it was bad primarily because that’s what everyone in my Crown Heights circle thought and I didn’t care enough to look too hard into it. Naturally, I voted D. Then I had an autistic child in a terrible school district with classrooms overcrowded due to a mass influx of undocumented immigrants, where every kid with any disability that needed accommodation was herded into one classroom and basically babysat. Popular wisdom in my area was that “privileged” parents like me should make do with public schools cuz like privates are bad and leaving meant I was racist. While I was trying to figure out what to do, the pandemic hit, and schools shut down, leaving me to educate a multiply disabled child basically by myself (good luck virtually educating kids like mine) and Dems kept schools closed long after the harms were documented. I got outta NY so fast to a southern state were life was still allowed to go on and where I had my pick of schools regardless of where I lived. Suddenly, school choice made sense. Educational policy and immigration became very real issues to me, and I could have slapped all my former Brooklynite friends who thought keeping schools closed indefinitely was totally fine. Inflation hit us very hard because we needed every dollar for my son’s therapies and then later for serious health problems I developed. All the monied Democrats I knew telling me that inflation is a non-issue made me want to kill someone. Life comes at you fast when you have children, a mortgage, and a whole life beyond pie in the sky foolishness to consider. I’m done with Democrats. Never ever thought I’d say that 10 years ago as a single woman. |
Well, since every crossdressing male YOU know is “lovely,” I guess that settles that. Solipsistic, small-minded jerks will do as you do… |
None of this surprises me. You were clueless when you were a democrat, and you’re still clueless as a republican. Story is very consistent. |
What an insightful and intelligent opinion. You’re clearly a deep thinker. |
Deeper than the above poster. Also more concise. |
Lol. Teach your teens to drive safely vs 50 percent of teenage girls are trans. One of those posters is actually a parent and we all know which one it is. |
😂 |
Considering you added nothing to the conversation, your post was verbose and every word you wrote was excessive. Keep shut and go sit in the corner of your shack facing the wall next time. |
No you keep shut. |
What a comeback. Must have used all three of your braincells. |
Seriously, keep shut. |
You can repeat instructions! :P Now, follow them. |
This is such BS. |
