All I see is panic. supposedly If the majority of women were pro-abortion, you wouldn't have to worry about Trump and republicans winning the next elections. women alone would flip the red states. but apparently not all women agree with abortion.
the majority of US women are pro-choice
Maybe they don't vote accordingly!
The pole linked above shows that 55% of women are pro-choice. That's not nearly enough of a majority to "flip the red states" especially since the majority of the 55% are more likely to live in blue states already.
I certainly do. My address's official polling place is a church, which means that my religious mother does not feeling comfortable voting on the topic even though she agrees.
…excuse me?
yep. human worldviews are remarkably diverse and often don’t rigidly conform to our expectations. browsing through gallup data is a good reminder every once in a while.
Yes but… isn’t the whole point of liberalism “personal liberty above everything, keep regulations to the extreme minimum”? To me that feels like a vegan that randomly decides eating one type of meat is ok.
Re-reading the survey, if the options were only Conservative, Moderate and Liberal I can understand why some leftwing religious people would choose that, but it still feels weird to me.
Like, in my mind the opposite of Conservative is Progressive, not Liberal. That’s the opposite of Authoritarian.
Isn't Christianity about treating your neighbours well, and about how God loves everyone?
Not if you read the bible
I guess. Mainly wanted to highlight that "claimed ideology" isn't the same as "actual ideology".
Kinda? The thing is that Christianity is a 2000+ year old “ideology” that isn’t even consistent with itself, so it’s a given that their followers pick and choose which parts they want to adhere to.
I expected more coherence from a philosophy that’s barely 400 years old but apparently that’s still too much I guess.
