What upset me the most is that Harris used Hilary’s election plan verbatim.

She absolutely did not. Hillary leaned into the gender card hardcore. She had her supporters wearing t-shirts saying “I’m with her” with an arrow sign. She said “I’m not saying you should vote for me because I’m a woman, you should vote for me because of my qualifications. But one of my qualifications is…I’M A WOMAN!!!”

Kamala didn’t lean into any of this demographics, gender war trash. She (wisely) followed Barack Obama’s playbook of leaving the identify politics crap at the door. She lost for other reasons. Hillary alienated voters by leaning too hard into identity politics. Kamala ran a much better campaign than Hillary. They are not the same. Why Kamala lost will be debated for some time at least, but it will not be concluded reasonably that she lost for the same reasons Hillary lost in 2016. I know people want to conclude that women just can’t get elected, but we haven’t yet had a female candidate that ran a great campaign. As someone who wants our first female president, I have to reluctantly admit that we’ve been underserved by our female politicians thus far. I have high hopes for AOC in the future, but we’ll have to wait and see how that plays out. I don’t actually think Kamala did anything wrong in her campaign; I just think she was working against the legacy set by her predecessor, and it was too much. That, and too many American voters are stupid, ignorant, misguided voters. And, probably, some Pro-Palestinian voters had their heads up their asses.

Ah. TIL.

But…by your own admission, life did give us lemons. We just made more lemony.

Ignoring female-on-male violence and shaming men who are victims of it is also structurally ingrained in our society.

Where is there any evidence that such a culture exists? The remake trend is being driven by corporate execs at gaming companies that see remakes as more financially safe than new games.

Yeah, he’s never going to willingly pay that bill. A court will have to order the money taken from him.

Terrible headline. Makes it sound like Biden is chickening out of something in New Hampshire when the reality is that a Republican campaign to cast him as unable to win the state failed. So he’s “set to avoid” it, because the smear campaign failed.

Post less godawful clickbait, please.

Older people (omitting any triggering mention of boomers) can often struggle to keep their opinions and thinking relevant as they can become less receptive to new information.

It’s got nothing to do with age or receptivity to new information. Vaccines aren’t new. This isn’t an instance of an old person not understanding something that came about “past their time.” Furthermore, there are plenty of younger people who are on the anti-vax bandwagon, so I’m not sure what your obsession with age is.

I don’t think I’ve misunderstood you at all; I just think your opinion is wrong, bigoted, and ignorant.

The epitome of a lazy, entitled boomer.

Right, because that kind of intellectual arrogance is definitely a generational trait that us Millennials and Zoomers don’t ever need to worry about.

So much generational bullshit that people buy into these days. What garbage.

I don’t give a shit.

When is the GOP officially going to change their party name to KKK?

Every nation is run by both. That’s why the U.S. government was set up to have checks and balances. Clearly it’s not perfect, but no system is. At the end of the day, it’s a nation’s people that ultimately decide how their government behaves, even if that’s by apathy.

Ok, zoomer.

One interesting finding from the YouGov poll this article cites, but doesn’t mention, is that there’s a clear correlation between age and opinion on this question. Specifically, the poll found that older people were more likely to approve of Trump being removed from ballots for violating the 14th amendment compared to young people. Maybe it’s my bias, but that result is surprising to me.

Anyway, just thought it deserved pointing out.

My attitude is that if people who don’t want Trump, but also don’t like Biden are stupid enough to either not vote or vote third party, and it causes Trump to get re-elected, we as a nation will deserve whatever happens under Trump, but especially those stupid MFers. You can’t stop people from being utter fucking morons.

For the same reasons I just cited.

Whoever you vote for as a write it, it will be spelled “Trump” in the end.

I get your frustration, but this is the way our system works. You have to vote for the lesser of two evils, more often than not. I wanted Bernie in 2016, but I still voted for that cunt Hillary, because it was either her or Trump. Unless you’re certain your state will go Blue in 2024, a vote for a third party is functionally a vote for Trump. If you’re in a swing state, your protest will only amount to getting a person you like even less than Biden elected, and you’ll be part of the problems that creates.

These polls are just his approval ratings, right (sorry, can’t access the article), not a measure who is willing to vote for him in 2024? Yeah, people don’t approve of you backing Israel when it’s indiscriminately killing civilians and committing war crimes. Surprise, surprise. Doesn’t mean they’re going to vote for Trump over you, Joe, don’t worry.
