  • I think so many people have been raised/indoctrinated into the notion that they could not possibly vote Democratic. To do so would mean their soul would go to hell (“demoncrats”), or that they’d lose their manliness (cuz “soy boys” and Teh Gheyz, etc) or that they are siding with “radicals” (lol), and so on. Or you have single issue voters that are still hung up on things like their precious gunz or worried about abortion or getting their little book club into schools…

    I think some people are so very locked into a certain identity so much that they think the only option besides voting Republican would be to not vote at all.


  • Also, this ignores the rampant ageism that is ever-present in the workforce.

    In today’s economic circumstances, you are probably best working until you are 65 or more, unless you want to be impoverished in your later years. Also, your health care is tied to the workplace for the most part. Unless something changes drastically to correct this - something like UBI and/or better SS/Medicare, better ACA, etc., that’s just the way it is.

    In addition, biotech may add years of healthspan to people’s lives, meaning they would be very able to work and live healthy lives much, much longer than was expected of prior generations. On the other hand, you have this accepted culture where it’s like people start signaling to people as young as 35 that maybe they are getting long in the tooth.

    I mean…what in the FUCK? How is that math going to work out in the aggregate?








  • Yep. They did nothing to vet him at all in 2015-2016, although any one of them in the media even paying the least bit of attention could have told America just what a shitstain Taco was.

    They fell down on the job even further in 2021-2024, helping spread the BidenSoOld shit, along with, “Democrats are just sooo unpopular” stuff…yeah, and I guess constantly beating that drum isn’t going to influence people to start believing it and acting accordingly. Not to mention how they’d treat almost anyone talking about Project 2025 or speaking frankly about Taco’s J6 Day of Terror and parallel coup attempt as just being hysterical or whatever.

    The corporate media is as much to blame for this as anyone.
