From my understanding there are more Democrats supporting Trump than there are Republicans supporting Hillary (I mean regular voters, not George Bush Sr.). I guess it depends on the poll you look at however. Most Republicans that don't support Trump are not doing so because they think he's a loose cannon and that he's not an actual conservative. I've followed politics closely since the late 90's, and no one will ever convince me that the majority of the media is not biased. That's not to say that there aren't good and fair journalists out there who are liberals and that every story is a sham.

As far as the Democratic party goes, I think they've gone farther left. Even the Republican party has gone further left. I disagree with most Republicans on LGBT rights. I voted against defining marriage as between a man and woman in North Carolina's Constitution. However, that passed with majority support from both Democrats and Republicans in this state. I am pro-life and it's something I feel very strongly about so I have never voted for someone who is pro-choice (to be clear, I'm okay with abortion in the cases of rape and medical issues). I identify with a lot of Reagan's beliefs on how the government should function.

I'd never thought I would hear the words Bernie Sander and farther to the right in the same sentence. ;)
Well consider this: President Nixon, Republican, was pro-choice. Ronald Reagan was also pro-choice as a governor before he became pro-life as president. Gerald Ford's wife was pro-choice and he later became pro-choice too. Around the 70's being pro-choice was fairly mainstream, and not squarely left of center.

I think that both parties are more polarized, but I am not sure that they are equally more polarized. I do agree that acceptance of homosexuality has been a clear step leftward. But there are other things that are clearly steps rightward. I don't know, it would be interesting to try to do a comprehensive analysis.
It was a conservative Supreme Court that issued Roe v. Wade.

Cooper: That is sexual assault. Do you understand that?
Trump: No.

Well, even more disturbing than Donald Trump's sick misogyny and sexual harassment issues, was tonight's debate where he said he would put Hillary in jail if he gets elected. That shit's scary!

Lysie thank you for letting us having this thread even though it went so grossly off topic :$ I did enjoy being able to have some frank talk with people. Even though I said I would do my homework instead and didn't.

Thanks for the reply! Your system does sound more sane.
Sometimes I complain. I yell, I get frustrated, I think they're the worst.

And then I follow your election, and realize that while I can't stand our current government, at least they aren't admitting to sexually assaulting women because they can, due in court accused of underage rape of three girls, and doesn't know how the internet, math or society works. While vying for what is probably the most important job, IMO, in the entire world.

I'm proud of the long-established system we have in place though, I really am.

Well that was better than I thought it was going to be. Still lots for SNL to work with for next week's show.
Work with? They don't even need to work, they're just given material. Alec Baldwin's gonna be busy though.

They're probably scrambling to find someone to play AZ soonish. Probably NOD too.

I thought Martha Raddatz did a pretty good job of telling the candidates "ANSWER THE QUESTION!" when they got off on a tangent. And telling them to be quiet when their time was up.

I liked how Anderson Cooper got Trump to admit he wasn't paying federal INCOME taxes.
I thought they both did very well, actually. I wanted them to not relent, to follow up and ask the damn questions. It can always be better, but it was a relief to finally see actual moderating.

Same with journalists:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2014/05/06/just-7-percent-of-journalists-are-republicans-thats-far-less-than-even-a-decade-ago/

That's not a conspiracy theory. You think there is implicit bias in race but no bias in academia or the media towards democrats/liberals?
By the way, with regard to the media, most journalists identify as independent, not Democrat, as per the article you linked.

But the other thing is that currently, as far as public policy goes, the Democratic party as a whole is not at all liberal or left-leaning, save for their stances on some social issues such as racial and LGBTQ rights and abortion. The party's stance on issues pertaining to industry, corporations, the financial sector, foreign affairs, the military, social welfare, economics, and the environment are all in line with those of the more moderate Republican party of the 1970s. (Nixon did more for the environment than any President since.) Why do you think that so many Republicans are supporting Hillary? It's partly because of Trump being a loose-cannon and partly because she espouses traditional moderate-Republican policies.

Democrats are right-of-center now and most mainstream journalists at large news organizations in America identify with that worldview, certainly not the worldview of the left. That is why Bernie Sanders was treated so poorly in the media, that is why the media is on board with pillorying teachers and unions, that is why they defent corporate criminals and wall street, that is why they were on board with the illegal war with Iraq ... I could go on and on. Plus, while many journalists may be Democrats or Democrat-leaning, nearly all the CEOs of the biggest media corporations are Republicans (or were until this election).

ETA: Speaking to Europeans and South Americans, they will tell you that even Bernie Sanders was farther to the right than most politicians who purport to be liberal or leftist in their countries.

Only 35% of the electorate voted on Amendment 1. The vote was held during a primary election at which the Democratic nomination was not contested, only the Republican one was. A more true measure of its support would have been determined at a general election with a more diverse voter turnout. Thank goodness it was found unconstitutional.

I've found that when a politician is pro-life, though, that they're willing to ban abortions altogether. That right there takes the procedure away from women who have been raped and women who need it to save their lives.

Wouldn't it make more sense to say you ARE pro-choice, but for yourself you are pro-life and would never have an abortion?
No, because I believe the unborn have rights and they are the most innocent among us. Why would I vote for someone who is not committed to protecting those lives in their public policies?

I guess the Republican party was more moderate on abortion in the 70's. That's something I disagree with. Reagan made a switch on his position and became a good advocate for the pro-life cause.
