If you're justifying your use of plastic products with the belief that it will get recycled, you should know that realistically that's not going to happen:

@GhostOnTheHalfShell @chessert @rbreich There's a reason guys are so vulnerable to these algorithms: a lot of social forces are failing them. Phillip Zombardo and Nikita Dunca wrote about it over a decade ago, and the problems he outlined have only gotten worse at time went on. https://blog.ted.com/new-ted-ebook-war ns-of-the-demise-of-guys/

@paul Really good point. Cable is dying because none of the very few players actually compete against each other.

@KathyLK @wdlindsy And that illustrates the problem right there: the belief that there still are parties. MAGA was the movement that won, not Republicans. The opposition to MAGA was a collection of people from the progressive movement, academics and intellectuals who recognize that Trump's economic plan is terrible, traditional Republicans who don't embrace Trump's extremist views, women and abortion advocates, and traditional Democrat voters. Misinformation shielded MAGA supporters from joining ANY of the groups supporting ANY of the causes that united people against MAGA.
Democrats deregulated telecommunications, funded genocide in Gaza, bailed out the banks instead of the people during the Great Recession, etc. A huge number of liberal and progressive people recognize that the Democratic party's behavior does not represent their beliefs: those are the informed ones. The uninformed ones voted MAGA.

@dnkboston @jeffjarvis @velshi Exactly THIS ^.
Racism is to blame, but this country somehow managed to put Obama into the White House. And conservatives readily overlook Rubio and Cruz's browness. So why them and not Harris? Because of the masculinity crisis.
Psych and ed studies tell us that girls and women dominate in the classroom at every level, from elementary to doctoral. Social psychologists tell us about the dating difficulties of the growing population of powerful, educated women: by the time they establish careers/degrees and get into 30's they can't find men on their level. Meanwhile, the only model of masculinity taught to young guys is hook-up culture, which doesn't vibe well when you have a large pool of educated, high earning women. The guys get older while the pool of "eligible" women stays the same age, and soon you have huge audiences listening to Rogan and Tate. Is it any wonder that young conservative men devalue education and professional experts? I wonder if they are even aware of how their experiences in the classrooms have taught them to dislike girls.
And all that doesn't even begin to explain the institutionalized beliefs of older men, who are still hanging onto false beliefs of hysteria and an incapacity for logical thinking.10 million blue voters stayed home. If you ask me, that's why.

@gjhbkk12 Ok; I'll take the bait. To be clear: I'm looking for genuine discussion, and maybe some learning, but not to fight.
What do you believe is the reason that Donald received record numbers from each of those groups?
Another question: Is that a record number of Hispanic people, or Hispanic men? Same question with Black voters, and Arab voters, etc.

What are the negative ways that you have seen the Democratic party change?

@ruedi @flexghost Machisimo. They think that when Trump signals to men, that he's signaling to them.
Additionally, there was a lot of misinformation within the Latine communities that inflation and high costs were caused by Biden. This was a really strong belief, especially before the interest rates were lowered. And yes, they were lowered, but apparently the damage was already done by then.

I have a question for that huge demographic of Latino and Black men who voted against Kamala. When all of the undocumented people have been deported, and there's no one else for them to blame their problems on, who exactly do you think they're going to blame next?

You know when you're driving, and you hit something with your car. And when you're getting out to see how bad the damage is, you have that sense of dread?
That's what's happening now. It's time to find out if my fears were justified, or if I've been sitting in a hyperbolic echo chamber. It will be bad, that's for sure. Small businesses, immigrants, citizen privacy, the restorative justice movement, LGBTQ+ rights, wages and cost of living: they're all going to suffer. Drug prices will continue to rise. But will democracy end? Will there be another election when this one is over? And if we have one, will it be fair? We'll see.
