Master-Debater131 Posted Friday at 03:11 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:11 PM Some Democrats are starting to get it. This insistent focus on identity politics and political correctness means that Democrats do not talk like normal people. The GOP has taken the mantle of the working class and normal person because of how far Left Democrats ran with this. Thankfully people like her are being ignored and attacked. Good sign for the Democrats never bothering to learn from this. Its painfully clear that the last few elections have been sending signs to Democrats that their constant demand of ideological purity and political correctness was costing them voters. Biden stemmed that trend thanks in large part to his whole "Scranton Joe" thing. But then Democrats abandoned all the lessons Biden thought them to go right back to their losing ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Democrats need to find a way to make life easier for people so they aren't as susceptible. Like gasp social welfare and progressive policies to add more healthcare and housing options for people wowee I don’t think it’s too terribly different than the Republican domination of the media in the early 00s. The media was different but the right wing still dominated alternative media like the Internet forums and blogs, radio and cable news. Back then it was terrorism, illegal immigration, racism and homophobia … so not much different. Republicans dominated the house and senate by degrees that make today’s split seem insignificant. Eventually, though, people started to actually feel the impacts of Republican’s shitty policies. When people felt it, that’s when things changed. No amount of Fox News and Limbaugh could’ve changed that. Really, the big difference now is that Democrats don’t take the fight to those spaces. Aside from Mayor Pete and Newsom, you don’t see Democrat office holders on Fox News, the manosphere or other places. Democrats have had the media disadvantage from the start of the 21st century. The big difference is now that they seem to believe that they can create their own alternative space and people will come … but they don’t. They’ve got to get back into going into enemy territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master-Debater131 Posted Friday at 03:31 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:31 PM Havent seen this one posted yet in here either, but we have another Senate race completed. Republican McCormick beat the incumbent Democrat Casey in Pennsylvania. That gives the GOP a 53-47 advantage with 2 races to go. Arizona and Nevada have not been called yet. Even with those 2 states still being decided, the GOP have a clear majority in the Senate now. The important thing for them is that it makes it easier to appoint Judges, and Justices, with this kind of majority. They wont need to appease Collins or Murcowski and can instead just push anyone through. It also increases the odds that they hold the Senate in 2026. The map for the GOP isnt great, but it does provide pickup chances in states like Georgia. 2026 doesnt look like a year with big Senate changes as most seats are pretty safe bets based on who currently holds the seat.

They shouldn’t have to talk about pronouns any further than “if it makes you feel good do it.” There’s no need to go down the rabbit hole and giving some gender studies explanation of it which will just make people think pronouns are somehow a Democrat priority. That said, Democrats are not going to win on trans athletes or taking the power away from parents who don’t want their decisions on things like hormone treatment and puberty blockers taken away. That’s one thing, at best, they’ll have to leave to states for now. It’ll probably enrage some people, but sometimes you have to set things aside when it keeps you from winning. I know it’ll piss some people off and harm people, but the choice is no rights under Republicans or 90 percent of the rights you want under Democrats. Under Democrats, you can at least be sure that 10 percent of rights will probably come when society is ready to accept it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like arcades are still around and much of the places children hung out at have either gone out of business or declined to such an extent they might as well be out of business if I was a kid today I’d have no idea what to do with my weekend We build things for the kids. This is why I got so concerned when a lot of kid focused websites went offline, because I knew them mixing with adults guaranteed trouble. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should figure some way out not to be. And then scorn him so you're not tainted by him. This is similar to the advice I gave @Insipid about their brother. No matter the consequences, you *don't* become like them half way in order to appease them or just get along. I don’t exactly have many options right now…my mothers got a social security interview on the 18th but even if that goes anywhere I’m not confident about it due to trump walking into office Right now all we can do is sell or pawn stuff to get by 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
