    Let's not pretend that was all about the left. The religious right have been destroying families LONG before the left even existed. Hell, "Saint Teresa of Calcutta" herself used to walk among people who desperately needed help and would shame the women if they were working, the one tried and true method of escape from poverty. The left is becoming a problem, but they are becoming a problem because they started fighting the right with the same weapons the right have been using for a long ass time.

    I find it interesting that dems are 3 times more likely than republicans to sever a friendship based on political beliefs.

    Also, 21% of dems believe republicans are "evil"

    That's in 1 in 5. That's crazy and sad

    Women into the workforce in large numbers did a lot of damage actually. What necessitated that was the establishment right and left selling this country out for big corporate dollars by flooding the market with cheap illegal labor or moving manufacturing 9verseas that allowed child labor.

    Populism is about capitalism for the people and not the largest corporations in the world.

    This is false. It has been shown over and over again that the only consistent way out of poverty is with two incomes. There is really no disputing this. Any other issues that came from reactions to women in the workplace is a totally different discussion, and the problem in those cases was certainly not that women decided/had to go to work.

    There is no demographic doing better in America income-wise than dual-earner households.

    All new type of expenses emerged when women had to work so the true net impact to the future of the family was at beat a push but more often than not a detriment.

    But can't corporations....

    This is an example of end stage capitalism is a failure. Too much power is in the hands of faceless enterprises. Need to give the opportunity back to the people

    21% is pretty low, all things considered. What percent of the right (who actually embrace the idea of evil) believe democrats are evil?

    Personally, I don't believe in the overall idea of good and evil. So I don't find them evil, obviously, but I am also not a democrat.
