Isn’t that a picture of kamala?

And yet these people want to blame it for the election loss. I think “the manosphere” has more impact on them as an easy scapegoat then it does on general voters in effecting elections.

Ok, but how many or what percentage of men like this need to exist for it to be a talking point? If it’s not generalized to a significant percentage, then it’s not a valid point to bring up in the first place.

I bet the party has sufficient power to restrict access to birth control. Seems crazy to consider, but if things got serious enough, I feel like they are capable of doing it.

Or maybe she wasn’t a good candidate to begin with. She wasn’t even nominated, so we don’t know how a true, democratically elected, candidate would have performed.

There are like two of those people, not enough to be the driving factor behind Kamala losing.

If you think she lost because she is a black woman, then you are ignoring a lot of other factors that are far more significant. It won’t help anything to focus on that single aspect of her candidacy.

It’s been an endless stream of reports of scandal and cruelty since 2016. How could you not get desensitized? The alternative would be to go insane.

I don’t think it’s exactly a matter of appealing to progressives, but an inherent difficulty in trying to appeal to a wide variety of people with a wide variety of interests. You end up having to make vague promises in order not to offend anyone, which comes across as being boring or disingenuous, like you are only saying stuff in order to get elected and not because you actually belive in it. Conservatives can have much simpler and more straightforward messaging because their base is much more homogeneous.

I know who my wife is voting for, but even if she voted differently, I would love her the same. It would hurt if she lied about it though, because it would imply a lack of trust.

Yeah it’s in the toothpaste, but is also in the city water. Problem is there are many cities with way more than the recommended limits. It’s one of those situations where the fringe weirdos may actually have had a point.

That’s an absolutely trash take about adopted kids. Get out of here

Dang, Trump is now a threat to all of life on earth? Man you gotta settle down with the rhetoric.

She had adoptive parents lined up for him before he was even born, but then decided to keep him. Seems like he would have been better off with parents who wanted him instead of a biological mom who would secretly resent him for everything she thought she should have achieved in life. Did you read the article or just get stuck on the click bait headline?

She could have given him up for adoption, and had even set the stage for it, then decided against it. She had options, but made the decisions that she made. It isn’t healthy to channel regret about what could have been into your kid or into political movements that hadn’t even happened at the time when she made those decisions.

Illegal immigrants are being paid outside of the system and raising minimum wage only increases demand for employing more of them, continuing exploitation of them. You can make an argument for minimum wage increases, but it doesn’t benefit illegal immigrants.

Conservatives are trying to deport illegal immigrants and stop allowing them in, which may have a motive, but exploitation is not it.

Our economy depends on a base of low cost labor that used to be from kids or young people. It’s almost like Democrats have decided to fill that void with immigrants while Republicans are trying to get back to the low cost labor being from having more kids. It makes sense if your goal is to keep the machine running the way it was designed, or at least how it evolved to operate. Social security, insurance, fast food, service industries, construction would all need overhaul to function without low cost labor being their base. Seems like you could reduce consumerism in general to compensate for the reduced low income work force, but that would hurt the economic numbers and cause an overall contraction in the stock market. Tough pills to swallow for everyone who has accumulated any significant amount of wealth in this system.
