PSA are the condescending political insiders almost everyone hates. They are nowhere near comparable. Looking at their views vs Hasan they have more REACH. This isn't about likability which is subjective to YOU and your bubble. A sustained viewership/ subscriber count is more of an indicator of influence vs Twitter likes.
Hex Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Gen Z men are so trash, it's very sad seeing guys I went to high school with that were totally liberal become radicalized due to the Joe Rogan, Andrew Tate etc. of the world.

Elusive Chanteuse Posted November 6 Posted November 6 8 minutes ago, Adrian14 said: Josh Shapiro should be the option. Overall, if Latino women and blacks did not vote in the majority for Kamala, probably for Shapiro, at least enough votes for the Democrats to win. Why would 15 million voters change because she had Shapiro though? Biden was very unpopular honestly and she didn't distance herself enough from him. Perhaps its just that. People didn't want more of the same. 1

anastaciabby Posted November 6 Posted November 6 11 minutes ago, 45seconds said: He is absolutely not the only one. In fact his reach pales when taking into account guys like from Pod Save America and Bryan Tyler Cohen and the like. What is this bubble you all live in? The messaging is what draws young men to a podcaster. Hasan is not going to out-bro Joe Rogan because he's not saying the things they are feeling. These white men feel less than because - as much as we don't want to say it - popular discourse/humor is a lot of man hating in jest. White men in particular. Which I do participate in. They like the safe space right wing media gives them by coddling them. Reminding them that they were once this or that. How is Hasa going to do any of that differently to capture that demographic? Without changing who he is anyways . I do think people can't accept that we as a country are stuck in our ways right now. nobody was going to beat Trump this time around especially not the ideal candidate they and we really wanted and for sure not a black woman in this climate that had 2 months to campaign

Will focus on my personal life and fulfillment in other areas now. Exactly how I feel! Like this is apparently the presidency and country that Americans wanted so I really don't even care anymore tbh. I can fully reallocate my political junky energy to other endeavors now. 5
i spit on haters Posted November 6 Posted November 6 I still can't believe this is where we're at as a country. I'm going to be numb for quite some time. What a devastating blow. I don't even know where we go from here because there's what seems to be a permanent roadblock ahead of us. We're in for some very dark days ahead of us. white women and non-college educated whites continue to show their ass. 11

How's Australia/NZ? Europe is also extremely racist and sexist. I promise y'all, it is not the paradise getaway from American problems y'all think it is. 1 8

shelven Posted November 6 Posted November 6 25 minutes ago, on the line said: Said "entire population" were decisive this is what they want. Our lives are about to be destroyed because of their decision. So, no. My reference to "entire population" in that post was the entire population of undcoumented immigrants in the US. The ones that… literally cannot vote and therefore did not vote for Trump. I just can't fathom telling a group of people that very clearly did not for Trump (because they literally couldn't!) that they'll be "getting what they voted for" when they get deported. They literally can't get what they voted for because they didn't vote! And if your position is instead that they may as well have voted for him because you saw a handful of interviews where they expressed support for him, how are you any different than the MAGAts who claim that all undocumented immigrants should be deported because some of them are violent criminals? 4 4
Vermillion Posted November 6 Posted November 6 2 hours ago, ClashAndBurn said: As I remember, the initial reaction to Romney's loss in particular was that the party would need to moderate and try to perform outreach to Latino voters through compassion with candidates like Marco Rubio leading the charge. Their voters rejected that and did the complete opposite by embracing Trump, and managed to successfully court Latinos through the most disgusting nativism anyway 16 years later. so they got to have their cake and eat it too. The entire machismo movement among Latino men and how it tips over into our culture needs to be unpacked fully if we're to to make any progress on this front 1

Yes, but the difference is that human rights are protected here so it's the people but not the whole system actively works against you 2
i spit on haters Posted November 6 Posted November 6 House most likely gone, senate gone. Unchecked power. We're **** and I've never felt so hopeless.

They can barely even speak English and he often has to go to things to translate for them, yet they wanted Trump to win. It's a weird form of main character syndrome. Like, oh, he doesn't mean me, I'm a good one. 9

45seconds Posted November 6 Posted November 6 4 minutes ago, Communion said: Thinking Gen Z is listening to... Pod Save America. God help us. The average Gen Z man's favorite influencer ranges from video game streamers to fitness gurus who say they can teach men how to get girlfriends and who tell them what hormone treatment will stop early age balding - all while saying women are whores, gay people are groomers trans people are chemically castrated, and that the only thing in life is to get money and *******. What did I say any different? You literally said what I said in a different font when talking about Gen Z men - who are approaching 30 by the way so the assumption that liberal Gen Z men don't listen to something like PSA is laughable. It also does nothing for any argument in support of Hassan by the way. Who I enjoy watching. The narrow worldview thinking from some of you is what stumps me. My political alignment of being way left of the center but to the right of a lefty, I can understand those to my left and to my right. I cannot understand not having the ability to understand a worldview outside of mine.
FameFatale Posted November 6 Posted November 6 Honestly now that I sit on it. Biden won 2020 only because he dangled a stimmy check in the faces of voters. 1
