I'm surprised it's such a small lead

Im surprised left of right media hasn't seemed to remembered the lesson we learned the first time the dork ran.

There is no lead, because polls don't matter and we haven't voted yet. Polling is just news media for the town gossip.

A group of people who stand to lose all the rights that have been fought for and won over the last few decades, and depending where they live are at actual risk of being murdered and the lead for the don't-murder-me party is only 67%?

There's no hope for anyone.

As a Jewish person I feel like ive seen this before

Anyway on a completely unrelated note did you know that some Jewish people supported Hitler and the Nazis, they were known as the Association of German National Jews

Why does this picture look like an early 2000s punk rock cover except with actual assholes instead of punks pretending to be assholes

Gay conservatives are a minority, but they are more prevalent than I had realized. Twenty-eight percent of the LGBTQ+ vote went to Trump in 2020, and Grindr’s CEO, George Arison, has publicly shown support for Trump and anti-LGBTQ+ Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin. However, I hypothesize that there are more than polls count. According to Gallup, 7.6 percent of U.S. adults currently identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.” The word identify is key with any of these stats because there are plenty of men who have sex with men who don’t identify as gay. Research suggests that globally, more people are closeted than not.

You can not start headlines with those 4 words. It breeds people jumping to assumptions, overconfidence, and complacency. But that's not your fault...
