Shh. This article has probably been cross posted to The Root and Splinter by now, so in terms of comments, we need to throw nuance out the window.

A lot of people miss the realty that just like any other group, white people are not a monolith, especially in blue states or purple states outside of either coast. This “fuck our enemy” mentality has turned off white people that would normally vote Democrat or Independent if the candidate appealed to their pet issues…

Except that Tim Kaine advocates for pro choice issues. He has a PERSONAL opinion but realizes that his opinion is just that. His legislative record speaks to his professed value that it is not up to him to decide what a woman does with her body.

Same here. Even our church’s current priest will constantly say “Why would God give you a brain if he didnt want you to use it?” There was a lot of the philosophy that the scientific process of creation and evolution ADDED to the might of God instead of detracted from it. Basically, we appreciate God more because of…

Agreed. As others have pointed out, without knowing the intent of the lists or the contents of either, we lack context of why OP didnt accomplish theirs while the spouse did. If they were supposed to be joint goals, then there is an issue. If the goals were more general, then there’s a different issue. But the…

Nothing will be done, because little can be done.

Exactly. She will be fine if she does not make waves.

A+, Minnesotan approved.

More of them did, but the point is that HRC pulled more of them than ever before, including Obama in 2012. I dont believe that bad attitudes will simply die out, but as the world evolves around us, more people are coming to their senses.

I know that it’s not directed at me, but as a white woman in an overwhelmingly white area, abortion is DEFINITELY number one.

Psst: They don’t.

LONG POST AHEAD: I am from the briny North, but at least in my area most Catholics would probably be Episcopalian, had that denomimation taken root around here. We’re “Catholic”, where the churches tend to focus on charity, acceptance, etc.

Thank you. Even in the presidential election, HRC got more of the white, college educated woman vote than any other candidate in the past 30 years. As Evangelism slowly peters out, you will see far more white women voting for liberal candidates.

It starts with an A and ends with “bortion”. THAT is the primary reason and they will never back away from it, and it deserves an article of its very own.

It really is a mark of status. The only thing I ever get is them constantly telling me about the other people they are mimicking. It’s like getting picked last for kickball all over again, but screw those kids, cause I was great at kickball!

I basically just wrote the same thing. Without context, I took his reply as more of a call to self reliance than anything. Everest is a perfect example; maybe you’re a climber but your spouse isn’t? That doesn’t preclude you from chasing your dream.

Not knowing what OPs goals were, I took his reply differently. I took it as an admonition not to intertwine your worth so closely with another person. So many life goals worth having dont require a spouse; the partner just enriches that experience. We are also the only people we can fully control; it isn’t exactly a…

Years ago, I worked on the positioning of Liberty Mutual, and to this day the research we uncovered remains my absolute favorite example of this dissonance in “I’m not like THOSE people but I’ll tell you about them anyway”: We found that a whopping 92% of respondents described themselves as more responsible than the…

FYI: The person telling you that you are being copied is in fact the person copying you. They have been pulling the same shit for a week now.

By the looks of it, the horse is biracial, and thus, “one of the good ones.”
