I kind of see where you’re coming from - there’s an imperfect fungibility of bigotry. If you’re bigoted against one kind of person, it’s not hard to make you bigoted against another, it just takes a little propaganda.
But it’s not a secret that young men broke for Trump by over 10%. I attribute that swing to the manosphere podcast circuit working round the clock this past election, and Elon Musk purchasing voters with his “sweepstakes.”
These numbers suggest that not only did more people vote for Trump than in 2020, even after living through the fucked COVID response, even after seeing January 6, more people chose not to vote at all. And it’s a 50/50 split: Trump converted 3 million votes from Biden, and 3 million more just stayed home.
And demographically, the biggest swing towards Trump was Latino men. It was like 18%, that seems insane to me. I don’t think “eggs and Palestine” is sufficient to explain what happened there.
Not sure about that. I agree americans love the celerberties but Think women’s rights vs black men right to vote. Black men had more rights before women for like 50 years. Its gonna be a bit for the old folks to die off and even then we got those Tate trolls trying to keep status quo.
Also Obama wasn’t even “full black” and that was too much for some people. Probably sooner see a Hispanic dude than a full black guy or a woman. Its gonna be like that scene in head of state with people running to polls to stop Chris rock.
Maybe, but women do win places that have a lot of dumb misogynists. I think the ability to connect with voters, or voters wanting to be associated with someone interesting and cool, has a lot of power.
And at the end of the day, if you look at the folks who are right of center in the US, they’ve elected twice as many women as people of color.
I want AOC to be president, and think that the “Americans are too sexist to vote for a woman (now that a progressive woman might run)” argument is being used to hold back all women in order to hold back one woman.
This line is coming from neoliberals who can’t understand why Hillary and Kamala lost and are blaming sexism because they can’t come to terms with the fact that the American people are turning away from the establishment in its entirety.
Yes, sexism is a problem in America. No, it is not why liberals are losing.
American people are turning away from the establishment in its entirety.
Biden won 2020, and I think it’s safe to say he was fairly establishment.
Edit: And as much as we want to forget, Trump was President of the United States from 2016 to 2020. He IS an establishment candidate. He wants the establishment of an authoritarian fascist regime that unlawfully, violently silences his critics and imprisons or murders the minority group of his choosing.
Call me what you like, but I think you have more in common with me than with MAGA. And if your IFF is malfunctioning, well, I hope you get it checked out soon.

Barely, and only coming out of Trump’s first term that had many people looking for a “return to normal.” The Democratic party will never succeed running another Biden every election. The people can see that the status quo is not working for them, and they’re fed up with corporate dems telling them that we need to preserve the status quo at all costs.

I didn’t call you anything. I can see that you’re my friend, but the establishment and all the politicians who fight to preserve it instead of fighting the fascists in power are foes, and the sooner you realize that the sooner we can work together to change it.
I want AOC to be President, but I think Americans are too sexist to vote for her. We’re a callow, superficial people.
We also thought Americans were too racist to vote for a black man.
IMHO, Americans will always prioritize swagger, the ability to clearly call bullshit, and the ability to generate hype and a sense of connection.
This is why Americans vote for celebrities and actors.

The night of the election they say that exactly but Zionist want to blame Palestinians.
And if you really want to see an election where people stayed home. Check out 2016.

Let’s hope so.

Not all of us. Dudes for AOC!
I’m with you. Believe me, nothing would make me happier than being wrong.
I also want AOC to be president…starting now.
And also, it is Hillary her turn.
