One of the few advantages of being old and not caring anymore. My marriage broke up long ago for other reasons but it would have never survived the politics of this era.

I was dumped because I voted for Trump. I am a seventy-something widow who had a great relationship with a gentleman for over 5 years. On the first date I told him I leaned conservative, so he knew. I am so many things other than my voting record as I tried to communicate to him. Such a shame.

While I agree 100% with everything you said, it misses the fundamental issue...feminazis have effectively pushed men away. Sorry, ladies, but you're just more trouble than you're worth.

My wife came down with TDS after 30 years and 2 kids. We got divorced. Dealbreaker.

More important that Ford Vs Dodge in pickups? Most people who aren't extreme can agree on 80% of things just because most people are thoughtful, kind, and responsible. Half the remaining issues no one in their right mind cares about, and that leaves 10% to disagree on, not much of a hurdle.

Most people aren't even very informed, and it's real hard to be angry at someone who is unfamiliar with the most basic facts of an issue.

Generally Asians in Asia aren't very interested in US politics. Just saying.

As an Independent voter this is my personal take.

I don't care if you're a Democrat or Republican as long as you're not an ignorant Democrat or Republican.

Both parties are very corrupt and rarely represent the wishes of their constituents. The focus should be on policy outcomes not words and promises.

There are policy differences of course. But the real party difference is in the outward acknowledgment of this corruption.

Democrats generally fall in line and support their party no matter what.

Whereas there is serious vocal swathe of Republicans and conservative leaning Independents who are very vocal when they see corruption in their party. The Republican Party is in major upheaval.

Who knows where all this will lead.

I actually love talking about it. But some people get really emotional and adversarial rather than just being fascinated by the intrigue.
