    Authoritarian politicians eviscerating reproductive freedom is only one significant factor in determining political affiliation. There are several significant metrics, among which, one can safely assume, is an antipathy to a Party that kowtows to an acknowledged sexual abuser:

    In 2024, women in some parts of America still get the short end of the stick – even as they outnumber men in most states. For instance, women represent more than two-thirds of all minimum-wage workers in the U.S. Their political representation also suffers, as women make up nearly 51% of the U.S. population but only 25% of the Senate and 29% of the House of Representatives.

    In order to determine how women are faring and where they can find the best opportunities, WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 25 key indicators of living standards for women. Our data set ranges from median earnings for female workers to women’s health care to the female homicide rate.

    It was a more accurate, if distasteful example of powerful men exploiting women. Today it has morphed to neutering men just in case, or women demanding contracts with men before a date.

    Clinton was a skanky fellow as well.

    If he had been found to be a sexual abuser by a jury, screwed bimbos behind the backs of pregnant trophy wives, and/or been recorded braying that his celebrity licensed him to grab women by the p*ssy, his popularity would have plummeted at the time but, regardless, many feel that we've made progress in that respect.

    It also suggests that genetics and brain differences may play a big role in how people think and vote.

    If you want to know why, the reason is pretty simple. Statistically, women have less interest in politics than man. You can see that on this very forum, if any poll is taken.

    And I think a survey was taken in the past and less than 20% of the members in this forum are female.
    It would be the same for most other political forums, no doubt.

    That is to say nothing of the "male" drive for power and prestige.
    (Why are males driven to gain power and position? Because females are very attracted to it. Just ask Monica Lewinsky, or the young women Trump has dated)

    Trump supporters really shouldn't be criticizing Biden for his creepiness while supporting a guy who is just as creepy with women.

    Only those of us who think both men are garbage have that right and the credibility to pull it off without looking like a gigantic hypocrite.

    Biden likes little girls. Same there is video of him creeping on them plus his own daughter.
    Nope pedophiles are worse than guys who have consensual encounters with pornstars

    You don't hold the moral high ground because you occupy the middle ground.

    If you are talking about Bill Clinton, he married a gila monster who looks like a human. I can't blame him for cheating on her.

    If Hillary is such a good lawyer, why is she such a lousy politician?

    Politics requires some degree of personality.

    No, but Trump was the one publicly talking, more than once, about how much he wished he could **** his daughter. Hence, apparently you guys don't know how to spell Trump.

    Or perhaps gender decisions are based upon how they, as a gender, are treated by their elected officials. Women face an interesting decision this year as the entirety of their reproductive rights are up for grabs. Contraception and IVF are now up for debate along with abortion. Perhaps they will make their voting decision based upon what party's representative will fight for THEIR rights.

    I am not commenting on gender identity. That is a personal matter.

    He never said publicly that he wanted to do that to his daughter. That was the media twisting his words.

    They do that all the time

    Lol, that's adorable. So when someone says, "Hey, I wish I could say we were ****ing, but she's my daughter so I can't," you'd regard that as completely normal? I call bull ****.
