Article is clearly one-sided — it mentions a “widely-panned ad” encouraging women to vote their conscience, where pretty much all the panning has come from Republicans.
In the presented statistics, it's not so much about party as it is about age.
Which tracks with my experience that young people are much more conflict averse.<p>Also, interesting that men are twice as likely to lie as women. Which goes against accepted logic that women would be more likely to conform socially.
<i>Why do you want that heat?</i><p>When I see attacks like the one that happened in my state about a month ago, I completely understand.<p><a href="https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/crime/2024/09/26/man-assaulted-at-democratic-rally-in-downtown-york/75400072007/" rel="nofollow">https://www.yorkdispatch.com/story/news/crime/2024/09/26/man...</a>
Given that I'm in my thirties, I'm not exactly in the audience being discussed here. But I've become skilled at lying about politics to my small-town coworkers and my older relatives. Telling someone the truth means I respect them enough to take the risk.
That's why I pass every time a fierce political discussion is just about to unleash. I have no reason to believe you and I have no possibility to verify what you're saying.
Absolutely this makes sense.<p>You can get a lot of bad social pressure if you reject conforming to what people around you push.<p>And both left and right are very pushy in the us right now.<p>If i was on the us, I’d probably lie too.
could we link the source directly instead of MSN's aggregator? <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/half-of-young-voters-say-theyve-lied-about-which-candidates-they-support-new-poll-finds/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nationalreview.com/news/half-of-young-voters-say...</a>
We have got to stop acting like politics matters more than anything else. Yeah, it's kind of important. But so is having friends and family that you can talk to, and recognizing that they may not agree with you but...so what. People are allowed to have different thoughts, feelings, and opinions, and overall that's a good thing. Which pompous air bag gets to pretend like they're running the country for a few years isn't really a hill worth dying on, no matter how much their breathless funding messages tell you it is.
