    I’d say the hippie element that identifies with the left likely doesn’t live as long either since they share similar attitudes towards science and medicine and a love of conspiracies.

    Problem is conservatives also pump more kids out, especially the religious ones iirc.

    I wonder if this applies in other places as well. Maybe more strongly in places with a two-party system?

      I am spanish and i’ve never paid for meds XD we have free healthcare here.

      Here we have another issues like not having enough doctors working there, so usually we cant get surgeries as easy as you do and here we dont get paid as you do so if i have to pay for a surgery i have spanish wage of spain but nearly american costs (kinda exagerated but really there is no good proportion, do a conversion if you wanna find out).

    Can we make this a law?

    Partisans have to follow ideological discipline… if conservative, you must:

    not get vaccines
    Not have abortions
    Not be allowed subsidized food or health care
    Follow all tenets of your Christian religion
    Etc…

      I knew at least 10 Conservative people who are now dead because of their devotion to the prosperity gospel. Problem is, once they were too sick for it to matter, they begged for medical attention, which you and I paid for.

        As long as also the liberals follow the same law practing what they preach, it would be interesting to see who will survive in the end.

          This isn’t even a debate. Liberals, because they listen to scientific experts. And they’re more likely to achieve a higher eductaion.

    That’s sad. I’d rather they learn to grow up and not be conservative. They shouldn’t die just because they’re foolish.

    With the exception of the far-right white Christian nationalist Nazi types. I hope they die in droves.

      It’s good to know your mind is so weak that you let internet vitriol convince you to vote for felons, rapists, and pedophiles who are currently robbing us blind and infringing the shit out of our rights.

      GO. FUCK. YOURSELF.

        Last time I checked, Mark Carney had connections with Jeffrey Epstein which can be added to one of the many reasons why I didn’t vote for him, Pierre Poilievre on the other hand appears to have no records connecting him to Epstein.

        You Americans think the world revolves around you and your politics, every country has its own issues.

        Here is some education for yourself.

          It is nice to think that this would be a trend but when you start from a poor conservative family there are very good chances that you didn’t have education, emotional support and was surrounded by religious fanatics, consequently you will just propagate the circle.
