This isn’t about them. A disproportionate amount of women are victims of violence, sexual assault, and rape. Their safety should take priority over the feelings of others. If a man actually sympathizes with this they wouldn’t have their self esteem take a hit and would instead understand why actions like this are necessary as we work to address this issue in our society.

You don’t have to be a rapist to make someone feel unsafe. Creeps and people who just keep hitting on women when they clearly don’t want them to exist as well.

Its not about fighting rapists, It’s about letting women have an environment where they can feel safe.

You know what I keep asking myself everytime we hear of a new pick by Trump?

How long will this person last before Trump discards them?

These weren’t anti-Semitic attacks, they were anti-Zionist protests. Even Jewish groups in Amstersam spoke up and said what the Israelis did was wrong.

It means Israel is using the current conflict in Gaza to expand into another Palestinian territory, the West Bank. They are already illegally occupying it. This is their move to “legitimize” the occupation.

You know it’s bad when Saudi Arabia is the calming force in the region and pulling out of diplomatic relations with Israel while also renewing relations with Iran.

So Harris went to Texas right before election day to talk about abortion rights but couldn’t be bothered to sit down with Joe Rogan who has the attention of a lot of young males? A demographic that Harris really needed?

For the common people the economy isn’t the countries GDP or some DOW Jones, or the value of their currency. Stock market values are useless for the middle and lower class when a small minority owns over 90% of them.

If left wing and progressives really want to address this issue then they need to stop using these kind of figures. They need to address what people actually care for. Everyday costs.

It’s remarkably easy to have your expenses slowly creep upward in our society. Especially as prices constantly go up in the name of “inflation”.

There were a lot of warning signs that Harris wasn’t doing so well. Democrats just didn’t want to admit it out of fear that would discourage people to vote for her.

Harris did a lot of stupid shit that disenfranchised a lot of voters. She banked on the fact that most of the left would rally to her because of their hatred of Trump while also trying to court the moderates and Republican voters. All that failed catastrophically.

I don’t think so personally. If you’re the type where your vote is dictated by the gender of the candidate then you’re likely already voting red regardless.

That being said, there isn’t enough data out there to accurately state the real reasons why she was lost so I can’t actually say that you’re wrong.

So just keep delaying as much as you can until the next election that may not happen if Trump gets his way? And then once the election happens, we have to hope that the Democrats learned their lesson at the third time?

That’s pretty bleak man.

I don’t like this show.

They do often go hand in hand. Both reduce individuals to a label and preconceived judgements.

I wouldn’t put that much faith in that number honestly. It’s anecdotal and a small sample size. It’s very clear that Arabs arre concentrated in critical swing states like Michigan and Wisconsin and based on the number of voters for both sides as well as for the Greens, they likely could have made the difference. I don’t think it was the only reason Harris lost, but I do think it was a big one.

But gender did play a role. Time and again, voters, very often women themselves, told me that they just didn’t think that “America is ready for a female president”. People said they couldn’t “see her in the chair” and asked if I “really thought a woman could run the country”. One person memorably told me that she couldn’t vote for Harris because “you don’t see women building skyscrapers”. Sometimes, these people would be persuaded, but more often than not it was a red line. Many conversations would start with positive discussions on policy and then end on Harris and her gender. That is an extraordinary and uncomfortable truth.

There’s many valid criticism of Harris but this one is by far the stupidest. I wonder how many people had this influence their vote. I don’t think she lost the election over it, but it would be interesting to see a number on America’s level of misogyny.

How much can a state realistically hold off when Republicans control the house, the senate, and have a right leaning supreme court?

EDIT: In case it wasn’t clear this wasn’t sarcasm or anything. I’m genuinely curious.
