Mental health by political affiliation

It's faux. Who's surprised?
 
I'm not surprised fox news is using 3 year old data to make a self serving claim, no. Unless it's an old clip, but who knows, because there's no date on it and I don't see a video upload date on Rumble. Shit is cluttered af.

Is it any wonder liberals are having a mental health crisis?

Data first reported by Nate Silver reveals that, among voters who said their mental health was poor, 45% identified as politically liberal and just 19% were conservatives.

Basically self-reporting of mental health and politics. I suspect it's less actual mental illness and more a case of liberals who have problems whining about their "mental health" and conservatives who have problems identifying the cause and fixing said problems (or at least not whining about it as much).

There are other sources for validation. Seriously, where's the secret? Look at the Democrats base. Their biggest mouths are hateful lesbians, lazy thinkers, and their leaders speak in word salad and repeats.

If you had genuine concern for mental health issues in America, I doubt that you would be voting for the party that wants to gut our public health services so that the rich and corporate interests can have another tax cut. Once you convince me that you actually care about this issue, I might waste more time discussing it with you. Until then, nope.

The Post is NOT a valid source.

Please find a non-propaganda source or better yet, a source not owned by a self-admitted lying piece of shit.

You wouldn't know a liberal if he helped you tie your shoes and guided you across the street.
Probably don't know what 'conservative' means either.
 
LOL
A self diagnosed 'survey' of mental health promoted by FOX as science is utterly laughable.
But the MAGA idiots will drink the kool aid as always.

Meanwhile we're supposed to believe the OP is BS.

Appreciate the validation, but really, I don't need it.
 
It's interesting how people deny this as if their own eyes lie to them. Take a look around, do liberals strike you as well adjusted?

Personality Traits, Mental Illness, and Ideology

Survey data show that extreme liberals have poorer mental health than conservatives. Could this be linked to greater emotional vulnerability?

I stand by it. You don't know what 'liberal' and 'conservative' mean. Which makes your contribution to a political discussion forum annoying and irrelevant.

Neat, it's whatever you want it to be. After all, liberal and conservative are really hard to figure out. You can tell as today's "liberals" think they're actually liberal when the truth is, they're whatever they're told. That doesn't strike me as so liberal, what you say?

Nope, not surprised. This has been studied for a long time. Neuroticism is highly correlated with left wing politics. So is an external locus of control - less self-efficacy and confidence and low self esteem.

There's nothing to figure out. You have access to a dictionary- use it.
I usually recommend Merriam-Websters to Americans.
