American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup.

The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high.

Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll.

When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal.

Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.

    A human is not a person it’s a collection of cells.

    See how ridiculously reductionist that sounds? And it’s absolutely up to me because I vote and I live in a society that is a democracy. I will vote on issues that matter to me. And you can do the same. So if you want to support policies that murder inconvenient children, most of which are black by the way which is very racist of you, then that’s your choice but I’m not going to support that with my vote or publically in the town square.

        Stating that a collection of cells is not a human being is not a fact.

        Human beings are indeed collections of cells.

          A human being is a collection of cells with self awareness. People have varr6ing degrees of self awareness as you’ve displayed

            So people who are in comas are no longer human beings?

            What about people who are asleep?

            What about people who are being put under for surgery?

            I think your definition of human being is bad.

                I’m simply making fun of your ridiculous definition of a human being. You’re arguing in bad faith so why should I try to argue back in good faith?

                  I don’t care to argue. Fetuses are not people. A heartbeat s not life. You are not the judge of other people’s medical needs unless you are a doctor which you are obviously not.

                    You don’t care to argue and then you make statements that invite argument.

                    Okay I won’t argue with you. You’re wrong.

                    There, that’s the end of it.
