(901 posts)I care too much about other people, and they seem to despise minorities and the less fortunate. I'm absolutely concerned about the environment and believe most of the world's scientists regarding climate change, and they think it's a joke or a scam, and they're eager to drill, build pipelines, and move towards coal. I think women should have access to abortion (with limits), while many on the right don't even agree with common sense use of birth control. I'm extremely worried about the 20,000+ deaths due to guns each year and want better gun control measures, and they absolutely do not and ignore the large number of fatalities. I think there should be a path to citizenship, and they just want to put up a wall and tear families apart. I want single-payer or affordable health insurance for everyone, but they want to funnel money to the wealthy and let millions suffer and/or die. I want to keep pseudoscience out of the classroom, and they want to eliminate teaching evolution or "teach the controversy," as if there is a valid controversy. I think all citizens should be able to vote, and they think only certain people should.
So, no, I can't get even close to their viewpoints!
