Democrat or Republican?

Well, all I will say to that is that I went out and bought JK Rowling’s new book and not because I wanted to read it, or ever will, to counter the shrill, hysterical voices who did seek to cancel her, whether we want to believe it or not. 

So, you're saying she has not, in fact, been canceled. Glad we agree on that fact, whether you want to believe "shrill, hysterical" voices did or did not do something.

What those voices did, in fact, is heighten people's awareness of her opinions on an issue of public interest. That way, people who think her dismissal of transgender issues is abhorrent can avoid giving her additional money by not buying her books; and assholes who want to show everyone they're assholes can buy the book and show it off. Nobody's silenced, nobody's "canceled", and the free market decides. That same free market that conservo-libertarifarts always tout as the solution to everything.

Would you rather be bred by a democrat or a republican? (in the UK a Labour Voter or a Tory)

This is kind of an odd question, in my opinion. 

When talking specifically about fucking, or being fucked and bred, it doesn't enter my thought processes. 

It's more a case of "I'm horny, I want to be stuffed full of cock. Hey, he looks hot, I'm going to try and seduce him.". It really is that animalistic and instinctual. 

Political views and identity groups don't really enter into sex for me, if it's just sex. The attraction is what matters, not race/nationality, age, body weight, religion or politics. Even gender, although I consider myself Gay, and definitely feel the strongest lust for Men, I can be flexible. I had sex with Women when I was younger and if there was an attraction, I probably would again. Trans also, if the chemistry/attraction is there (preferably pre op MTF or XD though)

In a dating situation or relationship, however, I would consider my partners political views and/or world view, for sure. 

I live in New Zealand, and it's very common here for LGBT people to be leftists, and I am no exception, although, that's more a coincidence than just being a lefty because I'm a homo. 

NZ is essentially a Neoliberal Social Democratic nation. We don't have bipartisanship as such, but the closest comparison would be our National and Labour parties, being Neolib Blue (Centre-Right wing) and Neolib Red (Centre-Left wing) respectively. There is a little bit of tribalism in some circles about it, although that seems to be changing slightly, as we also have an MMP system in Parliament, so there are a myriad of lesser number member parties, representing different groups, from Environmental Conservation and protection, to Native identity (Maori and Pasifika groups), and Libertarians, Centrists, Christians and Conservatives. 

As I mentioned earlier, I consider myself a leftist. That basically means, that economically speaking, I support Social Welfare and UBI or Government Job programs, and Govt control of all public sectors, such as Healthcare, Education, Policing and Infrastructure, and regulatory commissions for both local and multinational companies. 

I also support, and have voted for our Green Party on numerous occasions, as Environmental issues are high priority imho. 

Socio-politically, I consider myself a progressive, which should be of no surprise to most, so, I do clash with people who don't entirely share these views sometimes. 

If I were living in America, I would probably identity as a Democrat.

Of course she wasn’t cancelled. But those voices sought to do so, so my argument - and that of those 150 academics and writers who signed the recent letter - stands. 

The fundamental problem here is that Western civilisation has become one peopled with emotional cripples, looking for something, anything, to be offended or “triggered” (give me strength) by so they can go and bleat about it on social media - which is the greatest cancer in modern life, giving a voice to many who shouldn’t have one. The ghastly Harry and Meghan, whom most people in the UK are glad to see the back of, are perfect examples of this -  spouting their tiresome claptrap which is lapped up by bedwetters.  We had a popular married TV presenter over here who came out. Social media was awash with how “brave” he was. Pass the sick bucket, Alice. “Brave” is me coming out to my working class family at the age of 15 during the height of the AIDS hysteria. Not hiding behind a wife and successful TV career for 30 years and only coming out when a tabloid newspaper was about to out him. Brave? I consider him a hypocrite and a coward. Of course, everyone tut-tutted when I said so publicly but most gay people I know (and working in TV, I know a lot) privately agreed.  

But I digress. We’re going round in circles and have only demonstrated that politics is a bore.  I’m no particular fan of JK Rowling but I agreed with much of what she wrote - much of which was also quoted out of context to fit a narrative, incidentally. If you think that makes me an asshole, well, I’ve spent my life perfecting the art of not giving a sod.

The 150 academics and writers - including Margaret Atwood and Salman Rushdie (no sign of white privilege there, I would suggest) - who recently signed a letter condemning cancel culture would beg to differ. 

I mean, this is literally an appeal to authority. “Cancel culture” as it’s often portrayed is misleading at best. Think of the people who were “canceled” 5 years ago. Find what they’re doing now. The overwhelming majority are still doing just fine and often are as popular as they once were. You can find examples like Kevin Spacey and Bill Cosby (both of whom honestly deserved it), but those are the exceptions. Hell, if you wanna see cancel culture, look at the far right denouncing those they held as icons and leaders of the movement less than one week ago. Ben Shapiro and others have been deemed by the insurrectionists to be traitors for calling out what they did (ignoring that Shapiro et al. decidedly fueled the conspiracy theories and supported the rally held just prior to the coup attempt). 
 

As an aside, JK Rowling is a vocal and unapologetic TERF. That’s what people are pissed about, and rightly so.

Aren't you forgetting "cancel culture"'s greatest moment - Laurence Fox?

Fox from the famous, politics-dabbling acting family.  It starts well enough - he goes to Harrow school where the likes of Winston Churchill, his father, James Fox and his uncle, Edward Fox had been before him. Only unlike those three, he doesn't quite make it through. He gets thrown out - and so spectacularly so that no university would have him (It must be some report.- I've never heard of UK universities not taking people other than for academic/grades reasons).

So after working for a bit as a gardener he decides to go into acting (wonder where he got that idea from) and ends up quite famous with a part in the Inspector Morse spin off, Lewis.  What he's almost as famous for by then is his ability to fall out with people - getting into all manner of fights, disputes and litigation with pretty much anyone - those who block him, divorce him, get punched by him, sue him him for defamation, apologise to him (yes, he won one - despite,  being about the only actor I've ever heard of who is not  a member he still he still manages to get into a fight with Equity.

Finally, at the end of last year his agent drops because of his "public political statements".

Edward Fox as you might recall likes a bit of politics too - James Goldsmith, Referendum Party, UKIP, Countryside March and, of course, Brexit

It seems however that none of these are quite the right fit for Laurence. So he decides to start his own party.  It was in his capacity of leader of a new political party that he drove the agent away.  Apparently it's called Reclaim - although it seems there's a bit of a fight going on there too - with a charity who were using that name already.

Reclaim's policies are a little unclear - "UKIP for culture" gives you the broad idea (I can't tell you how much we needed that). As far as I can tell it seems to involve Fox going on chat shows (where he's still on speaks) and telling what he's against.  It's a fairly familiar list: people who suggest he's racist,  all things that are "woke". He knows colonel in the shire types don't like "woke" so he's very against that and, of course that other that curse of our age, cancel culture.

Only then Sainsburys - the supermarket - does something for its Black Employees that doesn't like, so what does Laurence Fox (aka Reclaim) do?  He says he's boycotting Sainsburys.

Not cancelling mind - cancel culture is woke - the very thing he is taking a brave stand against.

A boycott's completely different - and if you say otherwise... you get the picture..

Neither.

I went on a spree dating Republicans between 2015 and 2017 (not on purpose), I honestly don't know what hex or glitch in the matrix brought them to me ... what a waste of time.

Liberal piggies do everything better! 😄

Neither. Both parties suck.

The question asks who I would prefer to be fucked by. In my case, the question isn’t really relevant in that as a public sexual service submissive, all men equally are entitled to the use of my body and my preference doesn’t enter into it. Further, while they themselves may have distinct political views, their DNA does not, so what they pump into me is politically neutral.

That being said, although I passionately despise all politicians alike, I would feel a humiliation being fucked by a Republican that I would not feel being fucked by a Democrat. By the end of that fuck I would feel more debased, having given aid and comfort to an philosophical enemy, or at least having pleasured someone likely to vote against my best interests and, in my view, the best interests of the society in which I live.

The ethical question that raises is whether I should discriminate in terms of access to my body on the basis of politics. But it’s not really a valid consideration for me in that I believe, genuinely, absolutely and free from all fantasy, that part of my reason for having been born is to be a sexual outlet for any man who needs me, indiscriminately. I cannot be a public-property cumdump with political requirements.

What a weird topic, does it really matter for a quick fuck? You're not asking for their hand in marriage.

It matters to some of us. If it doesn't matter to you, then that's your call.

I dont believe that Hillary Clinton sips baby blood to get high. I don’t believe that Bill Gates wants to use the COVID vaccine to geotag everyone .  I don’t believe that socialism means that countries are destroyed and their population taken to concentration camps. I am a rational person who believe in facts and logic. 
 

It appears there’s very few of us left in the USA but by sheer definition, I am a Democrat. And if a guy I am going to fuck tells me he is a republican I tell him to have his mom use a dildo on him cause I am NOT touching them. Never been horny enough to have to deal with any of them.
