Data proves Republicans are historically bad for our economy.
Their voting history proves they only vote to help the grotesquely wealthy.
Maybe Americans need to learn how to look up data.
I am a data driven person. I blame my more liberal opinions on things like facts. I wish our media talked more in tables and charts than emotions, but it’s frustrating how easy it is to spin numbers to say almost anything. I don’t think there’s an easy fix — just a lot of messy nuance we don’t always have patience for.
The data is out there, but I wish it was more in our faces. It’s almost like this is important or something. /s
Thanks for letting us all vent on you. I really do appreciate and respect conservatives like you. Wish more people, on both sides, were like you
It’s a hard line to walk as a moderator. I share the frustration with my party but the over simplification of “all conservatives” sometimes pushes me to step in… Even if I still somewhat agree. I understand the dubvee folks wanting to take a big step back.
At this point I bet more civilians have read it than members of congress.
Because it objectively does.
Wish more US adults thought about this before voting. It’s not like the GOP agenda has ever been for anything except the rich after all
Some of my family members are more conservative than I am (which isn’t hard, admittedly). They vote based on what they believe benefits them and their families. From their perspective, that’s reasonable — why should they vote with others in mind if no one else does?
The idea that “I vote for what I want, you vote for what you want, and we’ll get what most people want” sounds democratic, but it’s also dangerously simplistic. It assumes everyone has equal power, equal knowledge, and that the system functions perfectly. I believe it’s a large factor in the division we’re seeing but I can’t say which came first.
For once, most US adults agree and are correct.
I wish this article wasn’t survey/opinion based. I don’t care how people feel about facts. Is it an opinion that the largest tax bracket is smaller? Nope, it’s a number.
