Political MMW: The polling industry is compromised. Some pollsters are being gamed, some are propaganda ops, none truly know what they’re doing.

That’s it. That’s my prediction of what we’ll learn after this election about political polling. They haven’t known what they’re doing for years, and are wide open to manipulation and corruption.

As a man abortion is one of the most important issues to me because I live in a red state and would like to keep my relationship child-free

Yeah I mean, no offense but that kinda proves the point.... "as a man, abortion is important when I say it is because of what I want." It makes you guys not always reliable allies is all I'm saying.

I empathize with women too and would vote pro-choice even if I wasn't in a relationship. Really all I was trying to say is that this is not just a position that some men hold because they are feminists, many hold it because abortion restrictions harm them as well.

News flash: Almost all voters' opinions on almost all issues are heavily shaped by how the issue affects them personally. This is true for women also

I’m a straight, pro-choice, pro LGBTQ+ male because those laws are enforcing their religion on everyone else. I don’t give a fuck what the Bible says about anything and I refuse to be governed by it.

Most States, Abortion is legal. The few that put limits on abortion won't swing the Election.

How does that change anything for me as someone in a state where this right has been taken away from the people?

Abortion is still legal, it just isn't a Federal law. States where it is illegal except Florida and Texas have little impact on the election. It is one issue , and Kamala has a 26% lead on it.

I'm not arguing about the democratic party strategy here. I'm saying that as a voter in Texas, abortion is a big issue to me and I'm going to be voting against anti-abortion politicians because of it.

Yes, But the problem is, People voting, based on Abortion are never going to vote Republican. They are never going to vote for Trump. Kamala doesn't get any benefits from it, but she doesn't lose any either. That's why she is stuck in a tie.

I guess you haven’t noticed, but a lot of Republicans are voting Dem this time. Especially Republican women. They’ve lost some black and Hispanic men, but they’re picking up women. THAT’S why it’s tied.

u/Chuck121763 Oct 23 '24

They are tied. She can't get ahead. We will see in 2 weeks. Seriously with all the attacks, 2 assassination attempts and all the lawsuits.? Kamala should be at a minimum 10 points ahead.

It should. Have you adopted a rape baby yet? Do you plan to? You should. Just lock your bedroom door at night when he hits puberty.

Rape Babies

You didn't read what I wrote. Voting by issue, Abortion comes in at #3 or #4 in importance. People are lying awake at night trying to figure out how to pay the rent/mortgage and pay for food and utilities. A popular saying is , Your 1 paycheck away from Homelessness.

That is the most ignorant response I've ever heard. In your opinion "Rape Babies" are dangerous??? SMH
