    The answer is obvious. You just don't like the answer. When polled, (That means asked the question) 56% of women who are left leaning claimed a doctor had told them they have a mental condition compared to 27% of right leaning women.
    Which has nothing to do with healthcare availability.
    You just don't like the answer.

    Why not link to the actual pew research poll?

    Sites like Babylon Bee are masters at cherry picking, misrepresenting, twisting and spinning not to mention huge doses of innuendo- which btw is not an Italian suppository

    "Claimed a doctor told them"?
    That stigma is why people with conditions don't feel welcome in that party.

    Maybe because it says it in the bottom left corner of the actual graph posted on the thread.

    And you know of a media outlet that doesn't?

    Based on this back an forward, its obvious you have a predetermined conclusion, and anything that doesn't fit your bias is wrong on your opinion.

    It explains why you are being so obtuse as well.

    Yes, most LW women tend to be a bit loony, and that probably explains why so many of them are determined to hook up with conservative men. :)

    Likely contributing factors:

    -Women are less likely and less frequently engaging in outdoor activities in nature which are known to support mental health.

    -Leftists and women are both more likely to seek professional 'help', which increases their chances of being diagnosed (and probably increases their chances of being diagnosed with something unecessarily, and possibly medicated unecessarily which can lead to an actual illness...)

    Says the poster who tried to claim the reason for more leftist women claiming they were told they had mental problems was because the democratic party supports universal healthcare to get these woman the help they need.

    Sounds like the actual answers provided by these same women in the poll doesn't fit your bias.

    It is well known that feminism makes women unhappy. Women wake up one day and discover they have thrown their lives away perusing a career instead of raising a family.

    Yes, its a problem but young LW women eventually grow out of it. :)

    “Political psychology has long been interested in psychological differences between people with conservative and liberal orientations. A recent paper provides evidence that people with conservative political attitudes tend to have better health than their liberal counterparts because of the former place greater value on personal responsibility (Chan, 2019). This may also be a reflection of higher conscientiousness among conservatives.

    The author of this study suggests that it might be possible to increase conservatism as a way to improve health-related behavior. However, this seems rather unlikely and might have unintended and undesirable consequences even if it were possible.

    A recent series of studies aimed to test whether conservatives tend to be healthier than liberals (Chan, 2019). The author argued that conservatives tend to value personal responsibility more highly than liberals, and as a consequence engage in more health-related behaviors (e.g., not smoking, exercising more, etc.) that lead to better health.

    The author defined personal responsibility as the extent to which people regard themselves, rather than forces outside themselves, as being in charge of what they do.

    Try again, maybe it's as simple as the republican party doesnt make people with mental issues feel invited, so they vote for the opposition which supports people with mental issues. The party that is working to get universal healthcare so when diagnosed, they can get the treatment nessessary to aid with the symptoms of what ever condition they were diagnosed with.

    Like the ole saying goes, If a person is not a liberal when he is twenty, he has no heart; if he is not a conservative when he is forty, he has no head.

    And even though we all watch this play out for the last 60 years of my life, you can't convince a staunch liberal of anything. No matter what the source.

    :roflol:, what In the world does greater personal responsibility have to do with modern conservatism?

    Not a darn thing. They are quite possibly the most entitled, lazy, victim minded, individuals iv ever been around.

    Try again? You don't even agree with your own post now?
    Thats too funny.

    So now you're claiming crazy people who aren't accepted by the right, vote for left ideologies, like the non existent universal healthcare they are waiting on to help them with their mental decline.
    Sounds about right.
    We finally agree on something.

    Any other hoops you want to jump through to explain why twice as many LW people claim doctors have told them they have a mental disorder? You seem to prove that polls validity the more you discuss it.

    The poll proves that theory, yes.
    For instance it's mentally insane to think taxes are going down, yet people vote for the right in hopes they do, correct?

    Is it? Or is it mentally insane to not be able to recall if it ever happened. Or even more so, to know it has happened but continue the false narrative that it never did because of your own political affiliation.
    Or to be able to tell or know the difference.

    Some people vote for lower or no taxes, others have comes to terms with reality, and vote to use those tax dollars in an effective manner.

    IMO, many of the new Independents are recovering leftists. Which does not mean they have abandoned all hope for social progress.

    “Sinema started her career as a Green Party activist focusing on LGBTQ rights. She switched to the Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to the U.S. House in 2012.”

    ““Registering as an independent is what I believe is right for my state,” Sinema said in the interview. “It’s right for me. I think it’s right for the country.”

    Given the current climate of Biden's administration, Right now, the price of gas, groceries, and just about everything else we buy is rising exponentially and the GDP has decreased for the second quarter in a row, officially entering our economy into a recession.

    Yet, instead of addressing these issues head-on, Democrats and the Biden Administration are rushing to sign a 2,140-page, half-a-trillion-dollar spending spree into law that would raise taxes, punish small businesses, hire 87,000 IRS bureaucrats to harass the middle class, and increase inflation.

    Is this you coming to terms with reality? I bet your next post is going to be, its not Biden's fault.

    I guess I was one of those heartless 20 year olds. I never knew what a liberal was until I went to college. Never met one that I could recall. But I lived on military bases most of my childhood. I thought everyone was a conservative. lol
