I have them tagged as a Jill Stein wedge driver. They’re a bit salty.

Everyone should take FDD with a MASSIVE grain of salt. It’s a far-right neoconservative think-tank.

Edit: polling looks legit. I’ll review more closely.

That he thought got 'em in that video and decided to post it is absolutely hilarious.

“mUh rEgImE!”

I’m pretty positive this is a bullshit meme and that bloomberg poll was from mid June of 2016.

The polls tightened at the end, especially following Comey’s October Surprise.

Nevertheless, we should fight like we’re 10 points behind.

You should watch, “The Brainwashing of my Dad” documentary. Sad reality for so many.

I predicted that as more Trump supporters realized they’ve been duped and grifted that they would be mightily upset.

This is stochastic terrorism in action.

For sure but I’ll sure as shit pocket this for a discussion with swing voters and the apathetic.

So let’s entertain the eating of pets thing was real (it’s not)… How do these help with that? In what way is disrupting hospitals obviously leading to patient care declining not 10000% worse than, eating a duck or cat or whatever…?

Fuck sake.

Whole new meaning to, “Please clap.”

From Jeb to Vance’s donut shop stunt to Leon Musk… Those words are just so versatile in describing the desperation of the Right.

It’s times like this where I sometimes feel people need a license to surf the internet.

Following the Debate I had a Trump supporter come to my door. We have yard signs but, uh, the dude went a step deeper and knew our names. Weird but okay I guess that shit is publicly available in registration dbs after all…

Anyways, he seemed innocent enough but boy would he hop skip around point to point. Just as you corner on one thing, they jump to the next. “I’ll show you the source on my phone!” yet he wouldn’t and jumped to the next subject. I asked him to identify his sources for information and he dodged that as well, just vaguely alluding to, “googling.” Really fascinating and kind of fun to interact. I can see why Klepper does it so much lol.

On the flip-side it’s just a bit sad to see people who seem like decent people but are completely led astray and living in an alternative reality. “You’ve been… Living in a dreamworld, Neo.”

Let’s not kid ourselves…This article isn’t being read by Trump supporters or even fence sitters. It merely identifies the problem; it doesn’t prescribe a method of outreach.

Read further down in other comments, but:

• It’s important to identify the problem.
• It’s important to identify the target audience of this piece.
• The crowd that this article is referring to isn’t reading an editorial editorial piece from The Conversation.
• This is thus mainly internal dialogue pointing to an example of the problem.
• How we convey the problem to those ensared by it is a totally separate thing.
• divisive for them; unifying for us, and helps the occasional apathetic bystander identify the bullshit before they themselves are ensared by it.

Well said and fair points. Ultimately I can agree that this entire article could be written as-is but for the exclusion of white. No doubt toxic masculinity is a problem. And no doubt there a considerable amount of white privilege; though the two probably should be separated as opposed to conjoined in discussion. Trump is a spoiled, silver-spooned manchild whose position has come about through a considerable degree of white privilege. Though as you said, one must be careful to narrow the scope of the conversation. That strictly applies to him, and probably should not be generalized more broadly.

Whereas toxic masculinity is more widespread and certainly not unique to white men (although in the moment under the MAGA banner and the audience of Jordan Peterson or Joe Rogan, it just so happens to predominantly be this group). I’ve read several articles about how inroads are being made with hispanic and black young male groups just the same — again, due to right-wing propaganda making inroads.

This where Walz could come in and why the VP Debate may be a bigger deal than many people realize. Walz has the capacity to do just as you said and project a certain male confidence. In his speech just yesterday he explicitly said, “Don’t mistake kindness for weakness.” If he carries through with this message as a military veteran and as a coach who can speak the frat bro language… Well, it may resonate with some and bring some back.

I second Approval Voting. STAR as well, but perhaps slightly less intuitive.

It’s sad that this has been repeatedly explained to this user, and yet without any substantive rebuttal, they persist without any evolution of their view.

Isn’t that a bit… Odd? Perhaps suss? Weird?

Spoiler Effect, too!

Gerrymandering only has to do with US Congressional House districts. Though I take it your point may be that the EC and Gerrymandering are propping up a dying party., which is absolutely true.

Bonus: Weevil ran away from a discussion we had when they tried to claim Democrats were blocking DC statehood because they, “didn’t want a black state.” when in fact it has always been Republicans to blame for blocking it. lmfaowtf360bbq.

Sinema+Gabbard vibes.

Stay far away.

Why is it stupid and what is the correct takeaway?

Israel is a terrorist state. No different than Russia.
