I'm very leftist and leftists tend to be egalitarian. Less of a "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" approach that would make life impossible for us. Plus, the Democrat candidate has a stutter and s...

I go to a support group for people who stutter. Roughly 25% of people who stutter are right leaning. My sample size is around 30 people. We are not allowed to talk about politics in the support group...

Are they though? How many people do you know IRL who stutter? Where else are you getting your sample from? Online spaces may be left-leaning for other reasons. Not saying the majority *aren't* left-...

Why are most people with a stutter left-wingers/liberals?

Why are most people with a stutter left-wingers/liberals? First of all, before I start this, I want to say this is absolutely not meant to insult left-wingers/liberals or whatever. This is just my gen...

I became a hermit because of it. I just accepted it. I have no strength. I'm weak but that's fine with me. I refuse to play this rat race with settings I was given. It's like playing competitive video...
