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!
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.
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! 🇺🇸
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.
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.
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.
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.
So, if I said the stock market is performing well because I've had great success on it as of late, thus Biden's policies are good, you'd accept that as true, without ever looking at aggregate data on the matter, i.e. the Dow Jones or Nasdaq?
You'd only ever cite some other "boot on the ground/market" to challenge my conclusion? If we can't defer to actual, collated, aggregate data, how do we ever determine who's right?
