  • Harris' Messaging problem

    Jump

  • It’s that people who would have otherwise voted for Kamala, including many of those who did vote for Biden, just stayed home. “We’ve got policy plans and whatever” yeah that would never make it to implementation through a gridlocked congress and a hostile supreme court.

    I honestly think you're giving them more credit than they deserve. My point is that a _rapist, fascist, cruel, racist, misogynist who has said aloud all the horrible things he will do was running for office and a lot of people just shrugged their shoulders and refused to vote. I can't imagine that kind of apathy when a fascist is taking over. "Sure Hitler and the Nazi's are bad, but what am I going to do, vote socialist?"

    (Also this because people need to remember he was anti-capitalist as well.)

  • They’re gonna vote based on vibes, so you have to get the vibes right or the average person won’t vote for you.

    And you can’t fake vibes by having a bunch of celebrities around.

    So why'd they vote for a rapist who is in pictures with goddamn Epstein? That's the part I don't understand. Are we seriously saying the average (American) is okay with a rapist being president because they like his vibes?

  • And they'll just downvote anything you say, because you're the bad guy now, regardless of what you're talking about.

    I'm just curious what it must be like to be so fragile. It's like any time they aren't being directly supported they fall apart and lash out at everyone around them. The hardest part is watching women calmly wait out the guys' tantrum, then try to carefully explain to him (and in a way that makes him Feel Like A Man still, ever holding his hand emotionally) what is happening and they will still freak out.

    It really is just embarrassing.

  • There was a wave of, likely from reddit, 'mens rights' users who came over and this happens all of the time now. Any time a woman mentions issues with a man, it's "YEAH BUT WHAT ABOUT" as if the things can't both exist.

    I mean look what they're upvoting: 'I saw a feminist say she doesn't care about guys, I super swear guys!'

    It's just fucking embarrassing how childish they are. Not even childish, because children can learn empathy. It's as if they quite literally have zero empathy, and can only engage in sympathy with someone who is somehow similar to them. Like should I just post this comic here, the one we all read, as a reply to these people?

    Irony is completely lost upon them.

  • Man just going for irony right away, eh?

    Whenever I do see the opposite and when the guy interjects all that's said is "there's a time and a place to talk about men's issues" but like when is it then?

    Probably not in the thread with the comic about womens issues being talked over by men, like you're doing now, would be a good choice.

    EDIT: I'll eat the downvotes. Just wanted to say how embarrassing it is to be a man and hear 'but what about men's issues?' used in a non-ironic way. Sorry ladies, you don't deserve this crap. Also thanks for being the bulwark against fascism.

  • Gen Z commit to ‘canceling out’ their MAGA parents votes in new TikTok trend

  • That said, when men were losing their jobs hey got told “learn to code” by callous and shitty journalists and women’s rights activists.

    Where on earth has this happened?

    The solution is so simple that you have to be abandoning it on purpose: promise men educations and to help them get employed, and you’ll get all the support you need.

    So tell the men in charge to do that. We don't live in a matriarchy, women fight the exact same fights you mentioned. You think women don't get laid off just like men do? I've been in games for almost 20 years and I can tell you it's not any better for the women in it.

  • There are so many issues with a Con government--like not even admitting climate change exists, that's not great--and you mentioned many others.

    I'm honestly tired of women bailing us out in these elections though, so I cannot imagine what it's like for them to have to keep doing it.

  • But with Trudeau refusing to step down I have no choice but to vote conservative.

    NDP, Green?

    I’m willing to let Skippy axe the carbon tax and hopefully make living in this country affordable again. Ontario generally elects a provincial party that is in opposition, provincial liberals will get in and reintroduce cap & trade which will save us when the next liberal government is elected and tries to save the world again.

    When we're voting on abortion again, I hope the women in your life have a chat with you about how your vote effected them.

  • Up here in Canada as well. Almost exactly half of men, across all age groups, say they play to vote for the Cons. Last I saw it was 20% of women voting Con. I am incredibly embarrassed at my fellow men.

  • I'll take the downvotes, but a large part of this is because she's a woman. "One candidate (a man) can rant about gibberish while the other (a woman) has to be perfect." doesn't just apply to politics, this sounds like every office I've ever worked in.

  • Israeli forces fire at UN peacekeeper positions in south Lebanon, peacekeepers say

    Jump

  • UNIFIL said Israeli soldiers had also fired at a UN position in Ras Naqoura, "hitting the entrance to the bunker where peacekeepers were sheltering, and damaging vehicles and a communications system."

    "An IDF drone was observed flying inside the UN position up to the bunker entrance," UNIFIL said. The previous day, Israeli forces had "fired at and disabled the position's perimeter-monitoring cameras," it added. They also deliberately fired at and damaged another position, it said.

    So they knew it was the UN that they were attacking? What the fuck.
