Gen Z voters are mobilizing more than past generations, motivated by issues like abortion
  • Because people are tribalistic and paint with a very wide brush. And we have a FPTP two party system. So like it or not, liberal, left, feminist, etc memes all get lumped together. It's up to us to reign in the crazy on our own side lest we look crazy by proxy. Or replace crazy with venom, or whatever you want to call it that is making young men feel more welcome on right.

    It's like that line from the Newsroom. "You know why people hate liberals? Because you lose. If liberals are so smart how come they lose so god damned always?"

    I'm on the left and I'm tired of getting my ass kicked because my own party has no strategic or tactical sense, and no unity to rally us. Just infighting and giving the right easy wins and plentiful sticks to beat us with.

  • No it won't. That's not the point though. You talk as if humans are wholly rational. All I'm pointing out is the left are masters of shooting themselves in the foot with how they message and present themselves.

    You catch more flies with honey and all that.

  • Everything you said is true. And will not get you victory. That's my point. Uncomfortable truths aren't going to get votes. Hope does.

    The right may be liars but their message is essentially pining for better times past.

    I am pointing out the uncomfortable truth that we are losing young men to the right, and you guys just down vote instead of face the truth. Hypocrisy.

  • Lol, the mirror of which is, "I can't believe people I insult didn't support my cause!"

    Like what's the win for you guys, to get someone who would have voted with you to be demotivated enough to stay home? And if so, isn't that just the same childish attitude?

  • President Biden announces over 1 Million public service workers have received student debt cancellation under the Biden-Harris Administration.
  • You are aiming too high. Simply getting people to vote is already a lot because our general election turnout is shameful. Beyond that, primary voting turnout is like abysmal, I think 10% or so last I checked.

    Getting primary election turnout up will make the biggest difference in party attitude for the least effort expended.

    Being nit picky and pedantic will just get people to grumble and move on to other things.

    Be short, to the point, and make the effort you are asking for to be so negligible that people will feel compelled to do that much.

    Otherwise you just defeat your own causes by introducing friction that bleeds momentum and energy. Pessimism isn't effective at galvanizing the left. The left thrives on optimism.
