    Yeah, how dare someone change their views over time instead of being born and raised with the same views as you?

      That has nothing to do with how you’re raised. At that age you’ve had more then enough time to form an educated opinion. He choose to be an enlightened centralist.

      Like do you think at that age he’s not capable of turning on the TV, seeing the terrible rage filled shit Republicans are doing and thinks “Oh I was raised this way, makes sense to me!”.

        I’m rather left (especially for the USA), but I wasn’t always that way. I was raised very conservative. My statistics wouldn’t be very different from this gentleman, and I also call myself an independent because I don’t care to be tied to a political party like some kind of sports team.

        Yet you would assume I would have garbage opinions without knowing anything about me simply by hearing my voting history and party affiliation.

        That’s foolishness on your part.

          You changed your opinion after life experience right? I’m going to assume you moved that direction before the age of 42 and didn’t stay “centrist” considering you’re confidently say you’re more left wing.
