Do you even "redouble my efforts to get the wife to sign on to a weekend-long sex-fest with her, Sela Ward, and Susanna Hoffs," bro? Geez. It's like you haven't even been paying attention.
Lemme know how that works out. Might need a strategy share.

I think its clear that giving everyone a microphone to barf political hot takes is extraordinarily ugly/messy. It really is the digital version of a free for all cork message board in a dorm lobby. Pretty soon its covered in dicks, pornography and bizarre performance art advertisements, then someone gets offended and restrictions start. Frankly I'd rather there be an open version of it like X and I think community notes is a pretty darn good mechanism to keep complete falsehoods in check.
Full disclaimer I am NOT a heavy user of any social media. More like very light. Go in to get information from a direct source on specific topic and get out. I have no interest in @BigBluntDaddies opinion on really anything.
Let’s look at another, fairly hidden sociological social media effect.
SM gives people a VERY easy way to connect to like-minded users.
Before social media, those out of the mainline had mimeographed or photocopied newsletters, followed by shadowy web pages or AOL/Compuserve communities, followed by message boards (hello Cloak Room). It was a long, somewhat deliberate process to get feedback on one’s perspective.
Now, people can have their fucked up ideas almost immediately legitimized and reinforced, with the added benefit of normalizing their fuckeduppedness almost instantly.

Even then, there was no confidence in getting support from the Latino community.
The Latino community, as we are often reminded, is not a homogenous group. It's as widely varied politically as culturally.

Something like 45% of people said they were "worse off" than four years ago. Inflation hit people hard. It's the biggest reason Trump won.
It doesn't matter what the macro numbers say - if you feel worse off then it doesn't matter.
Perception is reality.
Whatever metrics used to say inflation isn't that bad, if someone PERCEIVES inflation is bad, that's reality.

Refusing to lean into and push progressive policies that are broadly popular amongst the electorate, as Obama did in 2008, and instead attempting to appear more right wing to court an imaginary disaffected Trump voter bloc. She failed to offer any compelling vision of change and it cost her dearly.
The whole "Republicans for Harris" bullshit dog and pony show, along with the very conservative messaging and rhetoric that the campaign adopted starting with the DNC in August almost certainly alienated a good chunk of (or at least disillusioned) younger and/or low-propensity voters. Those two groups are very demonstrably angry with the status quo, an d nothing says "status quo" like an establishment Democrat taking a public right turn and palling around with Liz fucking Cheney. It certainly made me want to throw up in my mouth and I don't belong in either of those categories.
Refusal to break with the current sitting (and quite unpopular with the electorate) Joseph Robinette Brandon in any meaningful way on any current administration policy, and actually pivoting further right on some of them, such as the border/immigration. She had a TON of momentum early and this was the time to do it, to really set yourself apart and energize voters.
The absolutely baffling and inexplicable decision to send Ritchie fucking Torres of all people, and Bill Clinton, to Michigan to try and appeal to Arab-American voters was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen a campaign do in my lifetime. Not to mention, again, courting the fucking Cheneys.
Picking Tim Walz but not actually allowing him to play to his real strength as a politician, which is pushing progressive policies in rural red/purple areas of the country, and instead effectively relegating him to being the "hey look at the Republicans, aren't they weird?" guy.
Failing to actually address the economy in any meaningful way that would resonate with undecideds (who decisively broke for Trump) and low-propensity voters.
The list is fairly long, but that isn't to say she didn't do plenty of things right as well. You're not wrong that America is very racist and misogynistic. She needed to run a near perfect campaign to win and she didn't come even close to that. The signs were there all along, and pretty much everyone ignored them, to our detriment.
This is quite accurate.

Here's the thing though, none of that remotely mattered to me when I was that age, or practically anyone I knew. Our self worth was defined in so many other different ways. Hell, as an 18 year old 90% of my thought was how do I get laid and how much booze can I drink. 9% was playing guitar and 1% was making sure I had enough money to support the previous goals.
The way young guys are wholly unable to relate to women now is just baffling to me. I talk to younger women all the time, they haven't really changed much. The guys have. The whole incel phenomenon is real and I still can't comprehend it.
this. at 18, all I wanted was one of D, F, or F. Drunk, fight, or fuck.

Congrats on you and your wife failing as parents and raising a generation of pussies.
It’s one thing to rip into each other as adults, but fuck you for mocking children. You stupid, miserable, fucking asshole. Fuck you!
if you had a shred of decency, you’d edit or remove that.

The country is divided, clearly. We still clearly have millions of racist, misogynistic, undereducated people who vote against their own interests.
with that as the underlying condition, the Democrats nominating Hillary in 2016 continues to haunt this country.
Whatif time:
Whatif the democrats encourage/allow Biden to run in 2016? He wins easily, and likely is reelected in 2020.

20 minute wait here in Tulsa to vote in person. Oklahoma has early voting really clamped down. Only four days and only two sites. Two hour wait times were common.
Biggest turnout the precinct workers have ever seen, they ran out of "I voted" stickers at 10:30am. He said there was already a line to vote when they opened at 7am.
Several olds, but a lot of younger voters, more than I've ever seen, and some smoking hot, blue-wearing women. Mrs. TeeDubya was with me, so I wasn't going ask if they needed their ballot box stuffed.-

Atlanta, 63 degrees with some light morning drizzle, warming to 70 and sunny. In other words, in an hour a chamber of commerce day, no excuses.

Another couple years of sanctions and brain drain and they won’t have anything but T-64s to attack with anyway. I think most of the Polish military dreams of Russia launching an ICBM at them.
it does hit me that the Russian response to this could produce the need for Russia to beef up its own territorial defenses. I mean, this is a NATO country defensive line. Granted, this is not the same financial drain as the Soviet Union faced at the end of the Cold War when they tried to keep up with us, but Russia is now a broke ass country, with Putin knee-capping the economy for decades in the future. Which may mean that simply forcing them to increase spending on conventional weapons and border defenses - AFTER the SMO ends - will further bankrupt their asses in a serious way.
Ruskies are using T-34s at some training bases apparently. T-34s.
