  • Man it’s like the majority of people here don’t have ‘regular guy’ friends.

    The way to get to regular dudes, is to make them feel fucking included. Yes, diversity is fucking awesome. Yes, having women in leadership roles is fucking awesome. But for your average guy… who do they have to look up to on the left side of things? In the news? In congress? Who is on the national stage for these things? Who is talking to those people?

    There isn’t anyone. There are tons of people talking to other groups of people, but there has been flat out no courting of the white dude demographic outside of White Dudes for Harris (which was brilliant but came too late).

    Speak to the issues these guys are facing. Talk about dating. Talk about career struggles. Talk about feeling alone, and feeling vulnerable. And then, talk about solution based problem-solving for these things.

    Why do you think the right wing latched onto guys who do the whole personal betterment thing? It’s the same shit that white supremacist groups do. They’ll get you with things that anyone can agree with like ‘Hey man if you work hard you’ll succeed. I fucking believe in you when no one else will.’ Then they go into the right wing bullshit because now they have you at an emotional level.

    There is no online left presence doing these things, and there are multiple right wing people doing this shit.

    Make a left wing Joe Rogan, and bro-dudes will watch that shit like shit on velcro. But it has to be a dude-bro talking to them. It can’t be Rachel Maddow or AOC, it has to be someone who comes from that background.














  • My dad was never around growing up, and when he was he was a shell of a person thanks to PTSD.

    Disney movies absolutely fill that void, for both parents. Their movies always have good moral lessons for kids (and adults) to learn from.

    When people attack Disney for things, it always just comes off as pious and looking for a fight. Sure, they’re a big company, but they still are one of the few companies that actually tries to do some good and let people experience some magic once in a while.

    The amount of people who are BuT GeNoCiDe screaming is pathetic. They didn’t give a fuck about Sudan being in a civil war, they don’t care about Myanmar. They don’t care that trump wantonly supports Russia who’s ethnically cleansing Ukraine right now, it’s just all about Gaza for them.

    Somehow, trump gets a pass from them with Russia, but Israel doing what Israel has done pretty much since it’s existence is the fault of only Kamala.
