modeblock Posted November 7 Posted November 7 (edited) Impending climate collapse notwithstanding, these were my main takeaways the past 24 hrs. 1. REJECTION and RUTHLESS criticism of decades FAILED neoliberalism 2. No more demonizing the electorate 3. GREEN NEW DEAL 2028 Any more to add? Edited November 7 by modeblock

I really hope they were lying during their campaign because.. What a sad time. They're not, sadly. I hope blue states can remain a safe heaven at least but I worry because he's vengeful.

Why would she willingly humiliate herself with that? She should do what Hillary failed to do and go quietly into the night never to be heard from again. The last we see of her as a public figure should be her certifying the vote for Donald Trump on January 6. 1
cloudbusting Posted November 7 Posted November 7 her public service career is likely done, but Kop would be entertaining on a talk show panel tbh

Jay07 Posted November 7 Posted November 7 46 minutes ago, BOOMBAYAH said: America needs education. We live in an age of misinformation, and perhaps the answer for Democrats and left-wing governments around the world isn't to combat right-wing propaganda with left-wing propaganda, but to give people the tools to critically assess the economy, policies, ideologies, etc. (Oh, but wait, the Republicans and right-wing governments have already declared war on higher education, history, and critical thinking) This so much. This is the fight. I don't want to be insulting but it's not a coincidence voting breaks down so much along educated/non-educated lines. If you don't have the critical thinking skills to pick apart Trump's ridiculous rhetoric or his harmful policies, you shouldn't be able to vote. The end. It's not a coincidence Republicans are actively seeking to remove books and educational programs. 1
ClashAndBurn Posted November 7 Posted November 7 1 minute ago, modeblock said: okay yes girl but communion said we were dissolving the dem party Mmmm, no. Leftists are going to dupe themselves into "voting against fascism" and then taking the blame when the Democrats fail like we always do. The left has no spine to actually go against the party. We will simply accept the rightward shift that the Dems will give us where we're just like "yeah ok, we can stomach banning transwomen from competing in sports I guess...", vote for Shapiro because it's yet again "the most important election of our lives," and that will be that. And when Shapiro loses, it'll be because we were too anti-Semitic to vote for an upstanding Jewish man. The party cannot fail. It can only BE failed. 2 1

I've been reading the gen Z sub on & off for years (I don't really believe it's truly full of gen Z... but) I know quite a few Gen Z guys who genuinely get so upset about being persecuted for masculinity and live in fear but when I press them for examples, they have nothing? I truly believe there are so many of them who hate women, whether it's due to feeling rejected from the dating pool or entitled to attention they don't receive. I can't figure it out because they simply cannot explain it to me. These are guys who have been raised by spending 10 hours a day online & interacting mainly with men online. 6 2
ClashAndBurn Posted November 7 Posted November 7 4 minutes ago, Mellark said: I mean, Gavin is term-limited, so yeah... I don't see the end of Kamala's career anytime soon. Just because Gavin is term-limited doesn't mean Kamala's going to be stepping up to take his spot. It'll be another California Dem who has aspirations for higher office, either in the Senate or the Presidency. If Adam Schiff wasn't going to the Senate right now, I'd argue he would have been a prime candidate. Instead, my guess is it'll be London Breed who wins against someone like Ro Khanna. 1

Cain Posted November 7 Posted November 7 1 hour ago, Thuggin said: https://www.reddit.com/r/self/s/3Xq5iKyfKT This Reddit post kind of says it all tbh. This is the average person who didn't vote Trump in 2020 but voted for him in 2024. Yes, cultural resentment was and is a factor for many Trump voters too, but I think those people are firmly Republican at this point. At least these people are honest. They don't care about abortion and other people's rights that much. It will always be of negligible concern compared to their pocketbooks. Also, on all the "I need to be able to put food on the table for my family / gas in my car" takes, I can understand why a working class person who's not that tuned into policy may feel desperate for a change, but let's keep it real. Most of the people saying this are not a paycheck away from poverty. They are living very comfortably albeit slightly less comfortably than before inflation (or at least they believe they are). The truth is the vast majority of people are very individualistic and self-interested. They may be empathetic to other people's fights for equality / rights, but they will never choose them if it means financial sacrifice. As long as Republicans are winning on the economic message, our rights will always be on the line. When I was living in New Zealand and they had elections there my roommate said he was going to vote for the most rightwing party, when I asked him why he responded with "because they will up the speed limits" 🤡 The "GP" (to keep with atrl lingo) generally does not care for foreign affairs, they don't know much about international news and don't care to. All they care about is their immediate life, the speed limits they detest, the price of their groceries and homes, and I don't fault them for that What I do fault them for is falling for a man that promises to help them out when it is absolutely clear that he will not. Donuld Trump will demolish the education system for their kids, make the rich richer and everyone else poorer, and ruin the little healthcare the US has. How that is not clear to them I don't understand 3 2
Harrier Posted November 7 Posted November 7 1 hour ago, Thuggin said: I will say though, the discourse that's already been prompted here, on Twitter, on Reddit. All the strategizing and conversations that previously would've felt taboo or off the table that can now be had. Mama we're getting to the bottom of this clusterfuck The girls are, collectively, liberated of the pressure of staving off Trump again. Its over he's president again and no one can do anything about it. The traditional democratic playbook has been repudiated in a more straightforward way than '16, when Hillary still won the popular vote, when Trump had a better campaign, and when there were was more impact from third party and Russian interference. Even the party elite is talking negatively about the choice to not have a primary. This will be the most fertile ground to rebuild into something better and hopefully, the progressive wing of the party can avoid the mistake made by Bernie/Warren in '20. 1

I can't figure it out because they simply cannot explain it to me. These are guys who have been raised by spending 10 hours a day online & interacting mainly with men online. And unfortunately, I think there are way more women who also hate other women than men who empathize with women. It may be uncomfortable to say, but I actually don't think "white women sacrifice women's rights for white privilege" is the whole picture. I genuinely believe many women are satisfied with subjugation. There's kind of a psycho-sexual component that goes both ways: men wanting to be masculinely oppressive and some women wanting to be on the receiving end of that in a traditional, limited, yet sacred role of docile femininity. 2
bunnyeyes Posted November 7 Posted November 7 (edited) I completely agree and have been saying that people are hungry for radical economic change instead of identity politics but not some of yall blaming Dem's (alleged) support for trans people for this election result when Kamala refused to even use the word when repeatedly pressed about it on the campaign trail, refused to clearly and explicitly say trans people deserve gender affirming care and the Biden admin's final statement on trans youth after their four year tenure was to drop their previous policies and adopt the republican position, sparking outrage from major LGBTQ advocacy groups I also agree we need to tell restructure the conversation away from an extremely small minority to issues voters actually care about but some of y'all are feeding into the dangerous right-wing narrative from the moment you hit send on the phrase "transgenders" instead of "transgender/trans people."
