I think it’s less that young white men actively supported Trump because the Dems didn’t pander to them, and more that young, upper-middle class, suburban white men were altogether uninspired to vote because in either scenario, they wagered they’d be okay.

The lesson seems to be a very clear and unfortunate rebuke of women as presidential candidates, but very specifically black women, as Harris seems to have gotten even less support in this demographic than Clinton did. It’s shameful, but I believe that if Newsom had been the nominee and ran a near identical campaign, Israel and all, that he’d likely be president elect today.

They may not have gotten the memo that he dropped out, though. 🧐

Electioneering is a hell of a drug.

The same could be said of Trump debating a seasoned Junior High Debate Club member.

You’re on to something. He must get some kind of satisfaction out of proving that he really doesn’t have any scruples or integrity. I’m sure it’s a bonus that he knows it’s very difficult for anyone to force him to stop what he’s doing. He’s “owning the libs” by just being out and out corrupt and a crappy person without even trying to maintain appearances. It’s fucking weird.

My favorite part about modern republicans is that they made me look back fondly on former republican leaders who I used to despise. “Ahhhhh… binders of women. Those were the days.”

In fairness, it’s Wired who called them creatives, while Adobe called them artists.

If you can think of two boats meeting in open water, there’s porn of it on the internet.

Influencers are paid product shills. Most have no scruples or real positions. They produce whatever content will attract followers so that they can maximize their sponsorship dollars. These aren’t serious opinions anyone should pay much mind to.

 

Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I'm not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.
