Questions: Society & Politics

I'm just curious. I always had a feeling this site leans conservative.

Do you like having less rights than your mother had? Do you like the government being in your personal business? Or the idea that if you have a problem with your pregnancy, you might just die or nearly die before a doctor will be willing to help you? How about all of that happening to your friends a family too?

I figure most of you don't like any of that, so if you don't, I think it's a clear choice. The entire country is depending on women to show up and vote against the orange menace, because the men sure as hell aren't going to. The economy will ebb and flow as it always does, but for the folks who write Project 2025 and advise the orange menace, banning your reproductive rights is JUST the tip of the iceberg, of freedoms they want to roll back and abolish in this country. The next step is banning birth control. How does that sound? Just read what they've wrote down.

I just think it's so obvious that women need to put a stop to this now, and we have the power to do so. It's just a matter of the voter turnout. You can't stay home, you can't vote for a third party, you have to vote in a way that hurts the guy who overturned Roe and said he was "proud to have done it". You have to stop these people, before it gets out of control. You might not like Harris, or agree with her on everything. But you need to like yourself, and all of the women you care about, enough to show up on election day and send a message to the Republican party like they've never seen before. We've got the power to do it, we just have to actually do it.

How do you feel about voting? Do you think people who don't vote are in the wrong? Take our democracy for granted, or maybe you feel differently?

I've been watching you lot on the run up to the election, which I may add seems to be a permanent thing for you people, every day is campaign day. Take a bloody break.

And what's with constantly trying to own the other side? It's like watching 5 year olds going, "na na na na na na I'm the king of the castle.." it's one step away from sticking your fingers in your ears and blowing raspberries. Do we really need need to make millions of memes and YouTube videos? Why you so obsessed with stirring the pot?

And why's everyone so nasty and full of hate? The language uses isn't very nice is it? Over here we refer to the opposition as the right honourable gentleman on the right/left and not as a libtard or Republicunt, and one certainly does not accuse them of lying, more that they are mistaken or misinformed. You lot seem intent on dehumanising each other, that's how genocides start you know.

And stop worshipping politicians like God's, no other civilised country does this? It makes you look like a Banana Republic on the brink of civil war. Fawning over your leaders like infatuated 12 year old girls at a boy band concert just makes you look ridiculous on the world stage.

Isn't it time you stopped villifing each other, stopped labelling everything a left/right issue to to demolished with gusto, showed some dignity and grew up.
