Thanks for the receipts.

Man...these legislators think about gay sex in more depth, variety, and detail than any gay person I have ever known.

The "giant Palestine protest non-voter" is a myth. Same as blaming third party voters. Voter turn out was actually comparable to 2020. These are insignificant compared to the demographic shifts observed this election cycle.

Also, it feels a bit icky to see so many people use protesting a genocide as a strawman "gotcha" for why the Democratic Party collapsed in an election cycle once again. Harris having 100 days to campaign because Biden didn't drop out soon enough, the DNC being at odds behind closed doors, hell the RACISM/SEXISM problem America as a whole has (white people as a demographic still majorly voted for Trump across the board, while also citing there is no racism problem in America).

Here's the PBS interactive graph I used to base my claims. Take a look and play around with the graphs. A lot of my preconceptions from reading MSM "left wing" corporate media regarding the "protest vote" was thrown out once I looked at the stats.

...what about lesbians?

No seriously, if they're defaulting to anti-sodomy laws, what about the other spectrum of the LGBTQ+ that are married and don't (presumably) practice sodomy?

People say her podcast is actually good

I thought that was a meme...

...Is the Talk Tuah podcast actually talking about the historic warfare patterns of the Spanish Armada?

Tell them about Lorena Bobbitt. Modern women can learn a lot from her failure to dispose of the dick properly.

(The tactic is to shock them right back)

Probably playing off of this part of the article:

"[...] I discarded the argument that scholars haven’t reached a conclusion on whether the Gaza genocide is really taking place”, Marshall wrote in his decision.

It's because the average person cannot conceptualize an existential threat. Hell, even I can't really conceive of how badly climate change is gonna fuck up my life, but I listen to the people smarter than me telling me it will.

So New York kind of has something like this. They can run candidates under multiple parties. For example, they run the DNC candidates under the Democrats, but also under the Working Families Party, and both will count as a vote for them. My family members in New York always vote for the Dem candidate under the WFP because it helps them make quorum and also signals that they prefer the WFP endorsement over the DNC.

Here's an article with a sample ballot from a district of NY. You can see Kamala and Trump under Dem/Repub, but also under WFP/Cons as candidates. Same with the senate.

The national numbers never show the breakdowns of which bubbles were actually filled in, just the totals. But I'm always curious as to what the ballot breakdown actually is.

It's not a high horse, because I voted for Kamala Harris. But as someone who actually goes here, I knew this was going to be the exact outcome, because this high minded "vote for Trump to save democracy" is what got us in this mess in the first place. It happened in exactly like this 2016, and the Dem's didn't learn.

Sure, we can blame the electorate, I'm all for it. But saying that it's SOLELY the electorate's fault when the DNC has been trotting out milquetoast candidates one after the other is so disingenuous. Americans keep saying they don't want two right wing candidates, but no one is listening.

Again, you are dismissing 45% of your brothers. People like you, people who probably think the same negative things as you about themselves.

Unironically young men need positive solidarity from each other. You are not biologically designed to be fascist. You're lonely and self-hating by social engineering. And the more you believe that social engineering, the more the toxic men win.
