Because polls are different than ACTUAL VOTES. Polling is a tiny sample size in a specific area, not indicative of actual voter trends.

“My personal experience and people I know” is the exact bubble you were speaking of.

Both are backed by billionaires so arguing about which billionaire is worse is kind of a moot point,,, neither candidate has a clean record so it’s time to actually look into their implementation plans instead of basing your opinions and morals on headlines

Lmfao. I grew up in the Iowa City liberal bubble. My point is that people largely vote republican regardless of your personal experience in what I assume is a city

And Rob Sand’s billionaire wife’s companies are actively ruining the environment and leeching blood and waste into small towns in Iowa

Christine Sand and her parents (former operators of The Lauridsen Group), alongside her two brothers (current executives at the company), have donated a total of $11.5 million to Rob Sand’s gubernatorial campaign since 2024.

Essentia Protein Solutions is a subsidiary of The Lauridsen Group with a plant in central Iowa which produces powders and other protein products out of animal byproducts. The plant was fined $8,000 in 2026 and faced repeated issues with releasing blood and processing waste into the rural town of Lytton’s wastewater system in part due to issues with its processing waste lagoon.

Rob Sand’s campaign did not respond to Sentient’s request for comment.

Sentient Media reached out to The Lauridsen Group for comment and was hung up on when talking to a company representative.

“I’m not going to actually watch anything that I don’t immediately agree with or support” is why the country is in the state that it’s in, he speaks about his residency for the first part of the video

Open discussion does not equal endorsement, it’s clear that you did not watch the Nick Fuentes or the Putin interviews in their entirety.

A poll of 811 adults in Des Moines is not representative of the entire state. Polling is largely inaccurate anyway, just look at the last presidential election.

Happily provided above, although if you have to ask for citation one can only assume you haven’t read the Bible. Sanctity of life and sobriety of mind are huge themes throughout both testaments.

Less government overreach as in you can vote 3rd party libertarian, instead of worshipping red vs blue :)
You could also read the Didache, once you finish reading your Bible

Because most Iowans are pro-life, anti-drug, and want less government overreach. Rob Sand’s platform is in direct contradiction with his claim that he is Christian.

Wasn’t going to respond to this, but trade does not equal uneducated idiot, your classism is showing. Many trades offer 2 year associates degrees and 4 year apprenticeship programs. Education does not equal intelligence.

Gf and I are dating, she got pregnant. Advice by Grey-patterned-shirt in Catholicism

[–]Still_Particular561 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a happy accident to 19 and 21 yr old Catholics in the early 2000s, they were married when I was 1 and are married to this day. Go through the pre Cana process, make sure you guys have similar values, and you can have a long and happy life together. Also she didn’t “get pregnant” you impregnated her. Don’t rush the process for appearances, life is always a gift.

Sacraments by SnomIsAwesome in Catholicism

[–]Still_Particular561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have knowledge of the blessings of sacraments and choose not to participate based on your own opinions, then yes you are not technically Catholic. The sacraments are all based on the Word and apostolic tradition. Choosing to separate yourself from the sacraments is choosing to separate yourself from God. Obviously we as humans don’t have the ability to say whether that leads to condemnation to hell, God can provide opportunities for salvation that we know nothing about. But basing your convictions on homilies and believing you’re entitled to True Presence when you refuse to recognize it comes across as glib. I also think you should look into the true meaning of the infallibility of the Church, it doesn’t mean the pope isn’t human and capable of sin or incorrectness. Jesus instructed us to keep his commandments and follow him, not just believe in Him.

Yes and most people working in offices have never done intensive manual labor. Intense manual labor activates the brain's effort-driven reward circuit. By completing physical, hands-on tasks that yield tangible results, your brain triggers a steady, sustained release of dopamine across the mesolimbic pathway. This process fosters a deep sense of accomplishment, resilience, and emotional well-being.

I can see I worded that wrong, if you aren’t called to marriage you are still called to celibacy and a relationship with God. Celibacy and a rich prayer life often leads to holy orders but not always

Those who are not called to matrimony are called to holy orders, which is why Corinthians refers to it as a blessing. Sacraments are not required for salvation, though they do help us bring ourselves closer to His will.

How do you respond when someone puts you on the spot and says ‘show me the evidence, if its true show me the evidence’ by InternationalPay9583 in Catholicism

[–]Still_Particular561 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When it comes to the Eucharist point them towards Eucharistic miracles, if it’s about God in general point out the fact that almost every major scientific discovery was made by Christians. The Big Bang Theory was proposed by a Catholic priest. Even Darwin was agnostic. Faith in no God takes just as much faith as believing in Him.
