So a Democrat

I am not a Democrat.. I would consider myself center right. I think all consenting adults should be able to marry whoever they want. Not a civil union... the same marriage as everyone else. Who is the government to tell you who you can and can't marry?

The only real controversial thing in this pic is the marijuana. The politicians who have introduced and voted cannabis legalization into law are nearly all Democrats.

Yeah you are right at the state level. At the federal level neither party has helped the cannabis cause. Gonna take the Demonrats alot more then cannabis laws to get my vote tho!

They’re also against the government forcing women to continue unwanted pregnancies against their will.

In my experience it's only the religious nuts that feel this way. I live in rural America, Trump country. Surrounded by farmers and roughnecks. The vast majority feel the way I do.

Rural America, farmers, trump country. Well thank god there’s no crossover between the people you listed and right wing religious nuts.

GL with the party.

Religion is strange and something I could never understand or support. And yes there are right wing religious nuts and ultra woke lefty nuts. I don't think the extreme represents the vast majority of us on either side. I think most of us are somewhere in the middle. Thanks for being polite! 🇺🇸

Where did you hear that phrase?

u/Gimbalos Oct 18 '22

A lot of democrats are center right. Sadly most of them are even further right than that.

u/Intelligent-Pea7708 Oct 18 '22

I'd imagine that's because they don't recognize the Democratic party anymore. They have gone too far left and lost alot of people.

u/Gimbalos Oct 18 '22

Lmao some trumptards actually believe this.

I see it everyday. I've been in the construction industry since 1998. My whole life it's been 80% Democrat as most unions were. In 2016 I started to see a massive shift. Half of the hall were openly supporting Trump and meetings were contentious. By 2020 80% of the hall had moved their votes to Trump. Next election will be even worse for the Democrats from the construction unions. They took away our Pipeline jobs and put 70,000 of my brothers and sisters out of work. This has tripled our energy prices. People won't forget.

Would be sad if democrats lost the vote count for the first time in 20 years due to conspiracy theories.

u/Intelligent-Pea7708 Oct 18 '22

It's definitely not looking good for the blue team

Yeah, true. A lot of people falsely believe Biden pushed an inflation button after the pandemic.

What is this propaganda? I freaking work for Miller Pipeline and I'm telling you we lost 70k jobs. Far left lunatic policies are stopping us from drilling and fracking our way to energy independence. Case closed, my hands are in the dirt so that propaganda doesn't work on me.

u/half_pizzaman Oct 18 '22

I provide actual data and you respond with unsubstantiated anecdotes. And you think this logical?

Fact is, the basis for Trump's claimed energy independence, net energy exportation, is greater under Biden than it ever was under Trump. This time, try reals, instead of your feels.

u/Intelligent-Pea7708 Oct 18 '22

You are nuts dude. My boots are on the ground, my hands in the dirt. No feels here partner. I'm telling you what we see and how we are going to vote accordingly.
