yeah I can see that self selecting is to blame. Most of the Vets I know after I got out that are more liberal you can’t even tell they are a Vet. It the people that make the military their core identity. Like the idiots that wear tactical gear and special forces t-shirts. Like the last thing I ever want to see is a plate carrier or ruck again lol. Those combat ball caps they sell at the VA are so cringe it’s worse when they are under the age of 70 wearing them.
The military is more liberal than you think. Yeah their area shit heads in every org and a 18 year old private is always going to be stupid and buy that charger and say stupid shit. But the NCO rank and file are not the same old guard from the 80s and the army is making changes to appeal to GenZ to help with recruitment. E.G base name changes and leave requests for family planning, etc. But also Vets that have been down range got to know groups liked the Kurds and are very pissed what Trump did to them.
also early voting is a thing in most states. So take the whole week and vote when it’s convenient for you. That’ means Saturday as well.
they really do really hate all colors and shades don’t they
how else are we going to make handmaid’s tale come true. if you don’t want to live in a dystopian nightmare,. Vote Blue then Vote something better than Blue the next time cause you won’t be able to vote a next time if you vote red.
tildeverse is great learn about gemini it’s the underground internet right out of of the early 90s.
Did anyone else have the thought, we will have to do this just to survive on earth soon?
They got Lost the moment he fucked with them in 97
Beau of the fifth column on YouTube is just for this he tries to reach people at that level and doesn’t talk down to them and is great on foreign policy concepts.
I also wonder if they take into account strategic Voters I know this last few elections i am registered republican but I’m far left of democrats and vote for the weakest republican in the primary and vote dem in the general.
i enjoyed hating Winn and Dukat i hated hating Wesley there is a huge difference between the two.
honestly I just vote for my right to bitch. So I always vote regardless if I have any good options or not.
polling data has be broken since 2019. it’s almost like a bunch of old people died that answer their landline home phone from unknown numbers around that time. I wonder what happened? /s
young people just don’t answer their phone and polling groups just don’t have a good solution to capture data from that group yet.
i had my mother ask me to reassure her I would take care of her when she got really old and can’t work . she is in her 60s now and still works. I had to break it down to her. I honestly don’t think i will be able to even if I wanted to.
She has no savings in any meaningful way and had this 1000 yard stare as I told her. i felt bad but when you are forced to live a minimalist mind set and don’t have any social safety net. these honest conversations should be had now vs when the time comes.
To make sure they don’t have the rug pulled out from under them when they day comes. I expect most boomers. See their kids as an insurance policy so don’t pay attention and get manipulated into voting against their interest for two minutes of hate of the day.
you have no idea how much that happens with foreign policy. it’s not about right or wrong when it comes to foreign policy. countries don’t have friends or morals they have interests both international and domestic. That can change on a dime.
I say we compromise we will take the moon but they must give up daylight savings. it’s only fair.
doesn’t help that polls have been basically broken since 2019. that happens when a million people die with a bias for older people and they were the last to have landlines and answer unknown numbers.
yeah in those cases the only option is get involved and maybe run on the dem ticket. but I know that is easier said than done.
even in gerrymander districts voting in your opposition party primaries tactical voting can go a long way to help even if it means pushing a weaker opponent for the general.
lol you do you I guess I’m just not high speed, lol Were they active duty or retired? Also I noticed that Guard skewed more conservative than AD but don’t know why. Honestly i think that might be my dad was republican so I guess I am too but that would align the same with civilian population.
