A lot of his fans are in uproar over a woman host saying girls shouldn't take makeup advice from a man. Most of his fans are teenage girls, as you can see by the crowds at his meet and greet in Birminham. Politically speaking what are your thoughts?
Politically speaking, what is “straight talk?”
Straight talk is an under utilized yet necessary tool for politicians to use today. As a definition, it is the avoidance of skirting around questions, and being unafraid of offending certain people. Too many politicians carefully edit their speech to be cautious of offending anyone, in order to resonate with as many voters as possible. This normally ends up annoying many while pleasing only a few. How more politicians don’t understand this amazes me…Take Justin Trudeau, for example. He avoided answering a yes/no question 18 times.Mr. Trudeau may be smart, factual, and savvy, but he sure as hell can’t straight talk.Americans especially crave authenticity. That’s partly why the country voted for Donald Trump even though many of us understood the actual content of his words to be misconstructions or lies. The fact that he still directly answered questions that most politicians would shy away from made him feel real. We are emotional creatures, and good politicians know how to make us like them by going after our trust instincts. Their numbers, anecdotes, and stories may be fabricated, but if presented in a confident no-bullshit matter, we ignore the logical side of our thinking since we feel like it’s true.More politicians, particularly democrats, need to utilize this way of speaking to voters. Hopefully they can match their words with genuine facts, but that would be a unicorn politician. If you find one, please safely capture it so we can run studies.

Does Quora lean to the left, politically speaking?
Q: Is it just me, or are the links on Quora very left-leaning politically speaking?Links must be paid for. Quora is a business, and they don’t simply give free space to other companies. If a news outlet wishes to publish a link on Quora, they must pay Quora. It’s not exactly an ad, but it’s still a sponsored link. The revenue from sponsored links is important to Quora because that’s how they make a living.With this in mind, you most of what you need to understand why you see this or that link in your feed. Quora wants you to click on the links you see, because if you don’t, the sponsoring company will say “Meh, we pay for that but I don’t see much return, it’s not worth the cost”, and they won’t pay anymore. As a result, your feed reacts to your previous behavior: which links you followed and didn’t follow, which questions you answered, and so on. If you consistently don’t click on links from a given source, these links will gradually cease to appear in your feed; and if you consistently click on links you like, similar links will keep appearing in your feed.For instance, while there’s not much overlap between my own views and those expressed by the writers of Reason (libertarian) and National Review (conservative), the mere fact that I keep clicking on some of their links entails that my feed keeps proposing me such links. These links are of interest to me because, even though I often find myself disagreeing with their content, I regard it as important, on the one hand, to have a first-hand understanding of what those who oppose my views think, and on the other hand, to challenge my views rather than ignore opposing views altogether.I also have many links to Vox (which I appreciate because it’s an overall reliable, if obviously left-leaning, source) and quite a few to The Atlantic (ditto). By contrast, I rarely click on HuffPost links, because their articles are of rather uneven quality; as a result, I don’t have that many links to their articles.
Politically speaking, is the term "tolerant left" an oxymoron?
Yes of course. The question is, who is more tolerant of things that they find immoral. Conservatives are expected to tolerate a whole host of immoral behaviors that liberals engage in. Liberals have no tolerance for people who violate their code of "political correctness". Name one thing that liberals disapprove of, that they tolerate! I can't think of any.
Do you think Trump is the symptom, not the cause (politically speaking, of course.)? Why?
Of course. Republicans have worked assiduously for decades to create an environment of ignorance & divisiveness between ordinary Americans as a means of gaining & keeping control of our government.St. Ronnie began the unraveling with his Welfare Queen, his assault on unions & more actions designed to turn people against “others".Finally, Trump reared his (shudder, Really!) ugly head, beat up on his competitors & scared the GOTP into submission, & has been unleashed on our country & the world.Make no mistake, the GOTP created the Orange Menace, & history will not treat them kindly.
