women and men face different struggles in the world on average. i think that part more than other influences their politics. men don't gain anything by going along to get along. they might play along, but they won't give up what they believe.

80% of homeless people are men for a reason. they don't get an auto safety net by leaning on a feminine nature.

if anything i'd guess that being around a man helps women see the struggles that men go through. women are more likely to want lower taxes when her income is significantly provided by a husband instead of a faceless government entity.

Don't be retarded dude. You just described shit that happens with age. If those things made you more conservative we would overwhelmingly see people become more conservative with age as most people end up marrying, buying a house, and having children, etc.

My political worldview was pretty set before I went to the city. I grew up in a rural area, realized how incredibly stupid and ignorant the conservatives were (I grew up around evolution denying baptists), and this was reinforced in my college years in a medium sized "city", then moved to a big city for work. I haven't changed my politics much since I was in high school except to understand the system is this way on purpose and not as an accident, and that the alternatives aren't just things that don't work, but are actively sabotaged because the people with money don't want you to realize they can work.

There's a bunch of common sayings here in the USA that goes "between Pittsburgh and Philadelpha is Alabama". Except you can exchange most cities. The urban and rural divide is pretty bad, and it's mostly owed to the lack of infrastructure in those areas. If you want a good job and a good life, you do not stay rural.

With Trump not being on the ballot due to some legal fuckery, Haley just lost by a two to one margin against "none of these candidates":

🤣

that killed me when i saw it

more some legal fuckery that the ballot existed at all
nevada has a silly law that forces a primary vote to be held for major parties but has no binding means to assign their delegates, and the parties are free to instead hold caucuses as the GOP voted to do during their state convention. Hence theres a law saying they have to hold a totally pointless nonbinding primary. And the GOP said anyone who signed up for that primary would be excluded from the caucus, which makes it all the more delicious that Haley lost a nonbinding election that she cynically joined by forfeiting the binding caucus

joe biden: the ultimate primary source.
