As I age and meet more people, I've noticed that almost uniformly people who vote Republican are more successful, content, and fulfilled than those who vote Democrat. The Democrats are often filled with loathing, angst, and general discontent, while Republicans are often more satisfied, at peace, and fulfilled overall.

Why do you think this is? Have you noticed it?

Who cares?

Republicans and Democrats are both ineffective and do nothing once they get in office. There's plenty of incompetence, waste and coruption on both sides of the aisle.

How long is this name-calling going to go on? Meanwhile, American workers' wages go down the drain and our cities are starting to crumble while other competitive countries are improving their standards of living.

One thing I've noticed is that many Democrats who move up financially become more satisfied, at peace and fulfilled overall. Many also become Republicans because Republican policies benefit the financially better off.

Thank you for your opinion, but it has no factual information to back it up so we are just arguing about the people you meet, which none of us know the people you meet or how they vote. Therefore there is nothing to even talk about here because no one here actually knows you or where your opinion comes from.

Get back to us as soon as you have factual information to back up your opinion.

Unhappy, unsuccessful people are generally attracted to liberalism and liberals is just a bunch of people having a pity party.

You mean they are high school dropouts and pray to some magical god in the sky and the accept their fate because its in the hand of that magical god? That sounds like the rural America I know in the Pacific NW. So yes Republicans are happier.

Thank you for your opinion that also lacks factual information.
