This would be like doing a poll about which party people feel cares about the life of unborn children more and it turns out people give the nod to Democrats over Republicans.
Now someone is going to make an ass out of me and link such a poll showing exactly that.
You have two partys lobbying for the crazy people in their party's vote. I never understood why they both do it, its not like Tgo is going to start voting democrat, and its not like Time4fun is going to vote republican. Go for the people at the center not the edges.Quote:

I think it's funny you think I said that. And Republicans talk about how out of touch liberals are? Well the polls seem to back them up, especially Trump!Quote:

My view is that they are running out of civil rights issues to run on, so they "invent" an issue. Things that barely affect a minuscule percentage of the American population and they huff and they puff about it so that they can continue being the "civil rights champions".Quote:

That's the Democrats' platform for the past several years.Quote:

Republicans' main talking points the past several years have been the economy, jobs, illegal immigration, terrorism, THE WALL!, repealing Obamacare.
Democrats' main talking points have been playing identity politics and this poll shows it's not working for them.
