Let me ask again: stop blaming “young men young men young men” for Trump’s win. The CNN exit poll of 22,000 voters showed men ages 18-29 (Trump 49%) were the LEAST likely of any male group to support Trump: men age 30-44 (Trump 53%), age 45-64 (Trump 60%), age 65+ (Trump 55%). Blame older male cohorts like mine for pro-Trump “toxic masculinity” and “stupidity.” https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/exit-polls/national-results/general/president/0 . I gave up on MSNBC for its implacable hostility against Generation Z, then Majority Report for its nasty quips, yet the rest of you also seem to harbor inexplicable anti-young bias. What’s the progressive plan? To see how many young people you can alienate?

I have not read any of RFK Jr's books. I don't know if he is a nut or if he is mostly right. But for all the people that dismiss him out of hand I would assume based on your level of certainty that you have read his books. RFK claims that he has extensive footnotes and challenges anyone to dissect his book and show where's he wrong. I haven't come across anyone that states he is a crackpot having shown where is wrong in one of his books. If you truly think RFK Jr is delusional in his views and dangerous then document from his books where you think he is wrong. This will help change the minds of those of us that are honest enough to say we haven't read his books and have no idea if he is delusional or not.
Today 11/15/2024 East Michigan nurses made history. 9700 Corewell health East nurses voted to unionize with the temasters.
While I respect and agree with most of what Sanjay was saying, as well as his categorization of the “man-o-sphere”, he still has that hint of elititest tone.
The primary example is when he talks about helping “marginalized groups”. Maybe he was trying to convey “helping marginalized groups ‘in addition’ to yourself”, but comes off as “helping… ’instead of’ yourself”. Many men, and frankly a majority of americans, feel like they’re getting gutted by the elites and wealthy.
In my opinion, the democratic party needs to focus on messaging that doesn’t categorize people, other than the primary oppressive wedge between people: class and wealth. Stop making it black-white, left-right; instead, make the message about 1% vs. everyone else .
Class oppression does not care discriminate or categorize in the name of maintaining their upper class status. It’s quite frankly exhausting and irritating that we don’t focus our energy on the class wars.
