Polls: Society & Politics

I personally think birthright citizenship is pure stupidity and a great way to give your country's identity away to foreigners.

Rumors are and because of leaks. The supreme court may ban certain semi auto rifles and hand guns. My guess would be the AR-15 and 9mm Handguns , both popular choices for mass shootings.

AR-15 has little kick , easy to use and effective way to get off many rounds. Also many high profile targets have had AR -15 used against them.

So what will you do with your AR-15 when they are illegal? I assume a felony to own 3 to 5 years in prison and a fine.

Yep another big defeat for Trump. Anyone born here is an American.

The country needs this. People are getting older and couples here don't have children anymore. We need younger people to pay for older people. They made the right decision.

So Trump will have a fit , curse them out , insult them.

Also you now hear MAGA base blaming women on the decision. They want the voting rights of women to be taken away. They are nuts people.

Though when they dont like they fo with white people, we know...

If the Supreme Court is going to preserve automatic birthright citizenship, then the government should use every lawful tool available to prevent birth tourism. Denying visas when there is reason to believe someone is coming primarily to give birth is not sexism; it is immigration enforcement.

This policy would not be about punishing women for being pregnant. It would be about preventing people from using pregnancy as a pathway to secure automatic U. S. citizenship for a child. A sovereign country has the right to decide who enters and under what conditions.

- Gonna have to do it the hard way. issue no visas to pregnant women. if a woman has a child here she can never be considered for any kind of visa or green card for the rest of her life. no visas for family members of the child, ever. never allowed in the country again. -

Are you voting Republican to see this disaster continue?

Are you voting Democrat to stop the Lunatic with Dementia Trump?

Or will you vote Split ticket or for Independents?

Or will you not vote at all?

I am voting mostly Democrats for the first time ever. I don't plan to vote for Any Republicans unless they stood for America and rebuked Trump.

He lost is rape case , I mean sexual Assault, must Pay Carol woman $5 million

He must allow all mail ballots to count even late votes. That one stung him. He probably filled his diaper with that one. He hoped Republicans could hold enough seats from illegal redistricting and ballots not counted,

He can't replace Fed Board Gov , that exceeds his authority.

He can;t track Americans via cell phones without Cause.

Court didn't rule on birth right citizenship but they expected to rule against Trump on that too.

So were you surprised Court ruled against Trump? Will Trump use Postal Service to confiscate mail in ballots anyway?

Modern feminism and democratic socialism often move in the same direction by weakening the family as society’s primary support structure and shifting dependence toward government and centralized institutions.

Modern feminism frequently frames traditional family roles—especially homemaking, motherhood, and male leadership—as oppressive, outdated, or inherently unequal. That cultural shift has coincided with declining marriage rates, delayed family formation, and falling birthrates across much of the Western world.

Democratic socialism expands government responsibility for needs once primarily met through family, church, charity, and local communities—healthcare, childcare, education, housing, and welfare. Policies such as universal state-run childcare or large-scale entitlement expansion may reduce immediate burdens, but they also move more responsibility away from families and toward bureaucratic systems.

Supporters argue these policies strengthen families by reducing financial stress. I understand that argument. My concern is the tradeoff: assistance rarely comes without increased taxation, regulation, and institutional dependence.

I am not saying every feminist or democratic socialist consciously wants to destroy the family. I am saying the cultural and economic incentives these ideologies promote often produce that result: weaker family bonds, less self-sufficiency, and greater dependence on centralized systems.

Strong families create resilient, independent citizens. The weaker the family becomes, the more power shifts elsewhere.

In some Amazonian tribes, a boy must wear a glove filled with bullet ants for 10 minutes as a test before he is considered an adult. The pain is so intense that some people who complete the trial are even left temporarily paralyzed

In Vanuatu, boys tie vines around their ankles and jump headfirst from tall wooden towers. The vines are measured so that their heads come within inches of the ground, making it another test of courage.
Among Muslims, this transition is generally marked by circumcision.

I get it, not everyone is going to like or agree with you're question or opinion and that's fine, but some users I've noticed, have the mindset, that any opinion/question they don't like/agree with isn't genuine and will automatically be hateful and mean towards the opinion/question and the person posting the opinion/question and will often times will block leaving yourself unable to explain you're opinion/question or provide details that support your opinion/question. This isn't an issue with just politics, it's an issue with other topics as well.

yes , they will lower voting age to 16, this will give them millions and millions of more votes each election. Do you think 16 and 17 year olds should have the right to vote? Will this insure Democrats stay in power?

Most likely PR will become a state , DC will become a state , adding 4 Democrat Senators and 3 or 4 Democrats to the House. Are you for adding states? Will Republicans ever control the House or Senate again? With what Trump has done, do Republicans really deserve to have that much power ever again?

Are you for age limits? 30 to 75 ? No more than 50 years?

Do you think people who support democratic socialism are usually thinking independently, or are they mainly influenced by ideological framing?

My answer is indoctrination.

That does not mean every supporter is stupid or incapable of thinking. It means democratic socialism is often presented through a very selective moral and economic framework.

People hear slogans like “tax the rich,” “free healthcare,” “free college,” and “healthcare is a human right,” but they are rarely forced to answer what happens after the slogan.

The Nordic model, for example, is not funded only by billionaires and corporations. Countries like Denmark and Sweden fund large welfare states through broad-based taxation, high consumer taxes like VAT, and heavy taxes on the middle class. That part is usually left out.

There is also opportunity cost. Money directed through government cannot also be used by families, businesses, churches, charities, investors, entrepreneurs, or local communities. Every government program consumes resources that could have been used elsewhere.

And then there are incentives. If you punish productivity, investment, risk-taking, and success too heavily, you eventually get less of those things.

My issue is that many people are taught capitalism’s failures while government failure is ignored. Markets can fail, yes. But bureaucracies fail too. Politicians have incentives. Agencies protect themselves. Programs grow beyond their original purpose.

So yes, I see support for democratic socialism as more indoctrination than independent economic reasoning—not because every supporter is unintelligent, but because the ideology is often taught with the costs, tradeoffs, and government failures conveniently minimized.

Do you think women who reject modern feminism are thinking for themselves, or are they mainly indoctrinated?

My answer is independent.

Rejecting modern feminism does not automatically mean a woman is indoctrinated. In many cases, it can actually reflect independent thinking, because modern culture often treats feminist assumptions as the default and socially acceptable position.

Many women critically evaluate modern feminist narratives and conclude that those ideas do not align with their values, life goals, faith, or lived experiences. Choosing motherhood, family, traditional gender roles, modesty, or complementarian beliefs does not make a woman less capable of thinking for herself. She may simply have examined the arguments and reached different conclusions.

True independence means having the freedom to define empowerment and success on your own terms, not only within frameworks approved by mainstream ideology.

Too often, calling anti-feminist women “indoctrinated” just means, “I respect women’s choices only when they choose what I approve of.”

That is not empowerment. That is ideological gatekeeping.
