I'm not sure why you care. Plus, you're the one who is bringing up the identity politics. Why not turn that lens toward your own preferential party? A question you might ask is why the Republicans have no women or really, any people of colour in any leadership positions?

Well ACB was just raked over the coals. For you know. Adopting

What are the things that he had done that has you so upset? Mideast peace deals? Pulling out of war operations? I’m not even a trump guy. I just don’t understand the hate and it starting to believe more in the fake news that he spouts.

Like... This week? Or another week?

"I'm not even a trump guy". Looool.

I mean, you know what you just said about debating things? People and their pro trump bias are so lost there's definitely no point, that much is evidenced in your own criteria above as to why he's done such a great job. Your pro trump spin is deafening.

I would find supporting him embarrassing every time he speaks. I mean honestly, forget his clear foreign policy heroics (LOL) for a second here, hes a (frank)ing buffoon. The covid immunity is my personal favourite from the last week or so.

I genuinely don't know how one would manage to sum it up in a hockeybuzz comment. There's tons of literature hitting the shelves that might lay it out for you, pick literally any one of them and start there I guess?

You're just (frank)ing with us now aren't you?

I think there's an interesting philosophical debate about conservatism vs. liberalism with respect to gender and minorities.

So they're batting around .170. I'm surprised you'd even acknowledge that.

But then you realize you'd clearly acknowledge it to take away from the idea that it literally doesn't answer the question whatsoever.

You should run for office.

To be fair, the Dems only have 17.

There's also an interesting debate about why more men are in politics than women.

Sooo... Close to double? Pretty big difference...

I see your overall point, but in the grand scheme of things, one party is clearly embracing that shift more than the other...

Oh ffs bobby.

I'm not disputing the difference -- I think women naturally trend towards more liberal ideology rather than conservatism, which may explain some of the disparity.

Having said that, the Overton Window has been trending left for decades. The Republican party will need to adopt a more progressive platform to adapt to the times. I think Trump's regressive MAGA push (and the last vestiges of the Tea Party movement) won't be able to last much longer beyond his Presidency (which hopefully will end shortly).

Of course, I'm also two beers and two glasses of red deep... so uh... yeah.

That difference is not especially impressive. I'm actually shocked the Reps have that many.

89 Democratic women in the House vs 13 Republican. Listen to how Democratic women are vilified - AOC, Omar, Warren (Pocahontas) - compared to men.

Republicans came up with an outreach strategy for blacks, Latinos, women after 2012 because they knew demographics were against a party of white men. Instead they elected Trump and tried to remake a white country.
