    To be fair, this is basically just a measure of how many women are “moderate liberals”. Being too into politics is seen as a red flag, and to removed from politics is a red flag.

    Also, to be fair, there is a bit of a stigma with communist guys that I can definitely see influencing that position. Especially if their only interaction with them is the more aggressive CPUSA/Trot types at lib protests.

    I openly identify as a communist, and haven’t noticed it turning anyone off. Have seen a lot of guys obsessed with Rogan strike out…

      Bit of an apples to oranges comparison, if you ask me. If you meet a communist they might get their ideas and news from any one of dozens of sects. If you meet a Joe Rogan guy he gets his news from Joe Rogan.

        Oh yeah, that was kinda my point. I think the communist thing is just a specific kinda annoying type of communist, which isn’t representative of the group. Whereas Rogan bros are all just really into Rogan
