I’m the lone blue in a deep-red extended family but I don’t bash them for their political views. It’s their opinion, and they’re entitled to it as much as I’m entitled to mine.
Do Republicans just not use the internet? I swear mostly every american on the internet is democrat yet the amount of democrats compared to republicans is not that different
The average republican is significantly older than the average democrat; only about 21% of millennials and 17% of gen z identify as republicans. Combine this with the fact that one’s from recent generations are likely to be the moderate republicans and that the internet will get extremely controversial about it, and most moderates on both sides don’t bother getting involved in online discussion which leaves a very small portion of republicans that use the internet (especially reddit) and are willing to voice their opinions.
I’m sorry, but who they vote for should not affect your relationship with them. My dad is a centre right person while I’m a centre left, I still love him and respect that man more than anything. He respects my opinions and I respect his.
Yea, my friend group has very different political wiews, one votes left, one's openly facist and one doesn't even have political wiews or care about politics at all. Yet we hang out and have good time.
i mean... sure that's your relationship with your parent. But if trump came along again and got elected for president; i'm not sure how I would feel about people I know would have then voted for him
Yes because politics dictate my relationship with my parents. I hold politics so close to my life because of media and what randoms on the internet say over my own loving family!!
If you think your life is divorced from politics you’re living in a bubble. Politics isn’t just CNN and Fox and randoms on the internet. Local and regional politics dominate every aspect of your life. You’re not apolitical because you’re above all the drama. You’re just lazy and probably don’t like conversing about issues you don’t fully understand.
Both sides have their bad people. Criminalizing one party is exactly what the worst of the other party wants, yet there is a strong fear for voting third parties due to the belief that no third party can win an election in the US.
Oh cool, hey can you tell me real quick what side is grooming children, didn’t want slaves to be free, and have be caught in a international child sex slave operation?
The right, though more specifically the far right. However it'd still be dumb to claim every right-winger wants those things, the large majority don't, and most disavow slavery in today's society, even if conservatives in the past may have liked it. Judging the entire right-wing and everyone on it based on the actions of hitler and the confederacy and so on would be quite idiotic
The biggest ick is thinking that who you vote actually makes a difference, they all lie and dont keep up to their word. Also, trump was a republican and statistically he is the best president the USA has ever seen but the media potrayed him as a villain which he isnt. Not even american so idc but look at joe biden and tell me honestly that he is running a country, there are people above the president who actually run the country and thats why trump is demonized because he didnt take orders and he ran the country on his own. Joe Biden couldnt even pour a bowl of coco pops with no milk on his own nevermind run a country
The whole "jewish media" narrative gets so old. What do you think the most popular news network in the US is? How about the most popular US political podcast or political commentator? The idea that jews are controlling the media and trump is secretly a good guy and it's just random that all data disagrees or that science doesn't really matter or that hitler wasn't that bad or whatever just doesn't work anymore, you'll have to come up with some new material eventually. At least joe biden has objectively done more good than harm when compared to trump, who cares if they're both old, he's doing a hell of a lot better than you or hitler did, whether you want to admit it or not
Did he tho? He downplayed a pandemic and by doing so is directly responsible for the deaths of millions. And also much of his early success running the country was kind of guaranteed because economically America was already on an upward trend before he took office. He just did what he did best, inherited the success of others and then claimed it as his own. The minute an actual crisis came to America he folded. But yeah Joe Biden is a piece of card board will probably be forgotten in a month after his presidency, he was just boring enough to not be hated or loved by the general public making him the perfect candidate against a polarizing figure like Trump.
maybe I'll come back in a few hours and see how awful this is gonna go by then
RemindMe! 1 day
Good damn I hate American politics now a days (Am American), one side is an idiot and the other uses idiots to win
I’m not American so I have no idea
BOTH

Please just keep politics out of this subreddit

You must not have been on twitter or mastodon lately. Every social site in my experience has at least some conservative presence.
You seen twitter lately?
You've clearly never been to YouTube or 4chan.
The biggest ick is letting politics rule your life and then making a “holier than thou” post about it on a non political subreddit
I’m sorry, but who they vote for should not affect your relationship with them. My dad is a centre right person while I’m a centre left, I still love him and respect that man more than anything. He respects my opinions and I respect his.
Ong family before politics
You are unironically based. Love triumphs all.

"Different views on human rights should not affect your relationship with them."
i mean... sure that's your relationship with your parent. But if trump came along again and got elected for president; i'm not sure how I would feel about people I know would have then voted for him
Both is bad and I'ma just move to Antarctica claim it as my own and become the ruler of all the penguins or something
YOOOOO ICE KING LORE???
Same bro except I’m gonna be emperor of the orcas
bruh keep politics out of this sub
yeah, honestly keep everything related to being a teen out of this sub
This is the most political sub wdym
Why do American politics have to be brought everywhere?
it's the US, of course it's involved with everything
I have interest in following there footsteps
Ditto
Bigger ick is being a teenager obsessed with politics
Yes because politics dictate my relationship with my parents. I hold politics so close to my life because of media and what randoms on the internet say over my own loving family!!

politics in this sub 👎👎👎
Can we please keep our opinions to ourselves and politics out of this sub?
Why is that a problem? Older people are generally more conservative, while younger people are generally more liberal. That's not news.
In America.
this is

Politics yucky
Can we just like… treat people like people, and not base our perspectives SOULY off of their political party.
I dont wanna be that guy but nobody asked
Oh cool, hey can you tell me real quick what side is grooming children, didn’t want slaves to be free, and have be caught in a international child sex slave operation?
Dang, I'm surprised your votes aren't in the negatives. o7

the republican party lol, and I'll tell you exactly how
I don’t know that slaves have anything to do with it. Modern conservative politics that is

Woah... someone telling the truth... on Reddit...
The fact that this comment is upvoted, is crazy. Not trying to speak, ill, just it's crazy

holy if you were on the main politic subs you would be in the negative hundreds

The child has fallen victim to the mainstream media.
the voting age should be raised to 999 but only for you
Bro just described the entire republican party 💀
The voting age should never be raised, until the age of adulthood is raised.
Youre white 😭💀
Okay? I'm white and I find this shit stupid too 💀
What's wrong with white
Was it just me or did Wednesday have some lost cause myth/demolishing of confederate monument themes? Like, i think
What do you mean by "Republican"? The Irish Republican Army?
when my family votes in general
The comment section is going to be a nightmare.
I think it's better to say when you don't think like they do. Whether they vote Democrat, Republican, or abstain from politics all together.
Fun tip: sort the comments by controversial
Booooo keep politics out of here
Why are we worried about politics at this age? It’s so stupid
My guy like half of gen Z just gained the ability to vote, what did you expect?
Average
Unpolitically this is a stupid meme
It's been reported than most young adults slowly turn more conservative over time after graduating from college.
gonna check controversial and cook some popcorn.
I don’t give a shit about America tbh
It's kinda funny that the "politics don't matter" or "leave politics out of this" folks are usually people who aren't being targeted by republicans.
I'm not American but I live in America but honestly I forgot what they both mean
my parents are conservative and i’m gonna vote liberal just to annoy them
Nah write in vote
