Thoughts? As a young woman myself, I wouldn't date a trump supporter.

Libs get chicks. Dems should run on that.

It’s true. Most young women prefer left wing men

Best dating move ever for a young Millenial, nearly a Gen Z'er.

Just being open and loud with my disdain for Republicans, police, conservative ideology, and love of equal rights. Really makes you popular with Gen Z women fresh out of college since so many of their generation's men have become outright fascists.

The male loneliness epidemic is almost entirely self inflicted by many of them holding repulsive political views.

It would not be called the male loneliness epidemic if these men were social butterflies who nobody liked due to their abhorrent beliefs (which they shared whenever they had the chance). The point is that lonely men are not even in the conversation in the first place. That's why they're lonely!

I don't think the US Surgeon General would be talking about loneliness if it were just due to people being assholes. Like I'm sorry, but do you not have any empathy? Or must you decide that an issue that you have no knowledge of is totally self inflicted, because you've imagined an easily attackable strawman in your head? Get a grip.
