Those 2 articles are nothing more than an attempt to cover up the real differences in giving between Republicans and Democrats. Facts are facts, but they want to twist those facts into something they're not.

I sure as hell wouldn't count on the NYTimes for any kind of objectivity.

Unfortunately there’s no turning back. DANC led us down this path with mark’s deleting history. We owe a debt of gratitude to DANC for his courage. Then stoll freed himself just long enough to share that there’s a liberal bias in what gets deleted. Now Ribbon, another poster with outsized courage, garnered an admission that there are no rules.

Tulsi Gabbard said she's leaving the Dem party because it is "under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness."

No but there's a fair amount of factory/city overlap. As an old soccer guy you'll appreciate this. remember eurosport? The old soccer magazine in the 80s. That's soccer.com today. They were started by a family in north carolina

One of the articles mentions that the average R fives $60-100 more per year than the average D. What they don't discuss is the % giving/total income between Rs and Ds of equal incomes. I think it would be a pretty significant difference.

I sure as hell wouldn't count on the NYTimes for any kind of objectivity.

First off, the articles were posted by ribbont, who is not imho a Dem or left-leaning. The original article is freaking 6+ yrs old, and I'd say likely analyzes data from the period where some of this boards now Dem posters actually considered themselves as more GOP. When applied to the population as a whole, that would seem to point out how meaningless partisan distinctions analyzed prior to 2016 would likely be...

What relevance would the NYT play, other than the fact that they reported on the original study? They certainly didn't conduct it themselves...

"Using voting and IRS data for the residents of 3,000 counties across the nation, the four-professor research team found, according to the New York Times, that counties which are “overwhelmingly Republican” report higher charitable contributions than Democratic-dominated counties, although “giving in blue counties is often bolstered by a combination of charitable donations and higher taxes. But as red or blue counties become more politically competitive, charitable giving tends to fall.” The full study was recently published in the Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly."

Not sure why you'd take issue with that, although not understanding why you do things is an increasingly common reality for anyone on this board. I do think the 2nd article's rationale (church membership) makes the most sense to explain the discrepancy. I'd assume that you'd have no problem with the contention that Republicans attend church more often, but with you ya just never know...

 

[cosmickid]

'The greater good' for Dims is giving to people like Nancy Pelosi.

And for MAGA types (not all Pubs), it's giving to people like Doug Mastriano...

See how ridiculous your "point" is? There's always someone worse to point out...
