Given how new TikTok is, it's not surprising that it's few if any. Anyway, she's good looking but not like Hollywood hot, fairly normal.

People say her podcast is actually good. I don't know, I haven't listened to it, but if so, then she is playing the game with decidedly more skill than just one 5-second video clip.

And the appetite for change is so great that even those minor details are enough for people, but this campaign couldn't even do that.

No it's not, it's a great policy, it just needs to be supplemented by incentives to build or direct government building programs.

A populist won the election, yes, and that's much more relevant than left or right.

The solution is absolutely for the democrats to move left, but not because it's left, because people want to hear things about how their lives are going to improve.

Instead of blathering about an "opportunity economy" and more fuel for the war machine, they should be talking about higher wages, cheaper healthcare, cheaper housing, and cheaper eggs.

People who want to vote for the right wing already have a party to vote for, they're not going to switch. This strategy just alienates people whose lives suck.

As a European, we shouldn't be so quick to judge, we are only a few years behind them, and who is the greater fool, the fool or the one who follows the fool?

In 20 years millennials and gen z will be 30-60 year olds, you know, the people mostly in control of stuff

If someone "perceives they are losing out" because of doing something positive for women or minorities then that says a lot about their worldview, they are the ones responsible for polarisation there.

Agreed on the campaign though, it was the dems' to lose and they royally fucked it up.

Yeah, the demographics of voters are just made up, huh? They are the overwhelming supporters of the far right. Don't wanna be painted like that? Don't vote for fascists.

I'm a cis white guy too, for the record, and I'm not saying it's something inherent in skin colour or having a penis that makes someone an asshole. But it's classic bully behaviour to tell people lower on the hierarchy "look what you made me do". You want things to be less divided then you should start by accepting the simple facts.
