Its up to each state to make its policy regarding abortion in a democratic way

Look the Dems have latched on to this non story because they genuinely have nothing else

They are finished and need to sort out who is actually going to be standing against Trump and Vance - that is a far more pressing concern for their own voters!

I guess this distraction tactic is to buy them time to get that huge issue sorted

Politician's answer, too many Farage YouTube videos. The question was do you think abortion should be banned, not even do you think each state should have the right to decide, let alone "does each state have the right to set the policy" (the question you answered that was never asked).

Claiming he wants a nationwide ban on abortion and that he thinks women should stay married to violent men may be a distraction to you, would be a bit more than that for a lot of people though.

More soundbites cherry picked to stir up more hatred and division.

It's more insidious than that really; the idea that abusive relationships should persist "for the children" is already one that's quite firmly ingrained for many people, so even if it never gets anywhere near law or policy, just saying it as a high-profile politician will further the mindset and cause untold damage.

Absolutely. His logic of staying for the sake of the children is crazy as well. He thinks it's better for them to grow up seeing their mother being beaten by their father and thinking this is how relationships are, than for them to be be shown this is not ok and should not be tolerated? So sending sons out thinking men hit their wives and daughters out thinking that being hit by their husband is ok and normal?

Whether it is or isn't is irrelevant; clearly people get so caught up in the politics that they're blinkered to the real-world effects of the discourse itself.

Exactly. No one on this forum (or maybe 1 person - Maru?) is going to be voting for any of them so I don't get where these party loyalties even come from

I mean, there's been a suspicious uptick in the focus on US politics (which appears to be trending towards Republican at the moment) since the UK voted Labour and all of the Reform hoohaa died down post-General Election.

Same reason when I was a young 'un in Ayrshire, Scotland, we had kids declaring themselves passionate Manchester United fans (who were at the time coincidentally, dominating the English Premier League) . Funnily enough it was immediately following Ranger's infamous "9-in-a-row" when they stopped winning everything in Scotland . All coincidental probably.

tl;dr people like to be on the winning side, but politics is so partisan these days that people won't do a "polar flip" (Rangers fans could never stomach a flip to Celtic, 'cos sectarianism) to feel like a winner... they'll just find a different team to suckle for those winning-warm-feelings. They don't have to think about a Labour landslide if they can celebrate by latching onto a Trump win across the ocean.

We called it "glory hunting" I think .
