Do you really have someone "on your side" if the support you have is fragile at best and full of way too many caveats that are nearly impossible to keep and are often counterproductive to your long term goals and principles?
When you are bending over backwards to win over people who may not even be convinced to support your goals, that is a waste of time, money, and resources that frankly should not be necessary in the first place. But our "sacred democracy" forces this to happen.
The whole effort of trying to win the votes of women just exposes a major problem with democracy in general. Too many women fall into the category of overly emotional and low information voters, and the attempt to appeal and sway their opinions is just a counterproductive effort since even when you manage to succeed, you usually have compromised way too much of any principles you might have had for a group that will just vote the other way the moment they get the slightest emotional reaction.
@deprecated_ii "That couldn't have happened. All the news outlets would have told us if there was anything that outrageous happening! No journalist would pass up such a story!"
That's the rational of every normie who follows the mainstream outlets uncritically and thinks that we can only get the confirmed truth when the legacy media says that it happened. Never in their wildest dreams do they consider that they are being lied to.
@sickburnbro The boomers keep bringing up tiktok thinking they preempt an eye roll saying "but muh american spyware too!!!" while overheating about how it's such a dire, horrible sin to allow "chinese intelligence operations free reign to spy on american citizens!!!!"
I get it now: **Boomers don't see the government of the USA as their greatest threat, they do not realize it has far more animus to wield against them than any other government on earth.
Kids now don't care about chinese spy balloons and karaoke apps spying on them, because the chinks have little mechanism to leverage against them. Meanwhile, the american glownigger industry will happily listen in on every conversation and let LLMs comb it for 'hate speech', just so they can pump up arrest numbers and ruin your life with a no-knock raid
Very irritating because it keeps coming up lately. Consolation: Most kids know it's because of greenblatt and friends
@FinalDresdonation My dad is on the edge of the generations, so in some ways he is more of a Gen X type, as he recognizes that Social Security is a doomed system that is unfair to younger generations. Though I do recall him saying unironically that Israel is our greatest ally, so that is prime boomer generation.
My boomer dad serves as a good measuring stick for what the conservatives of his generation have for a worldview. And for the most part, it is frustrating to get him to see things from a perspective that is not the controlled opposition "right wing" sources of news he gets.
But it made me realize that things can get better when the older generations are no longer in charge (mainly due to them finally dying). Can, but not guaranteed, as we still have to get through the hard times that are coming
What Bear vs Woman would actually look like. You got this women!!

This assumes they cannot and will not steal elections. Since they already have, take no stake in what the public opinion supposedly is.
Pro women dating app wants men to approach first!
@Stahesh While they are not outright removing the feature (it is being changed an option rather than a requirement for women to make the first move now), I have wonder what they are thinking because the "women approach first" was the defining feature of Bumble. What is the point when they will basically now be just another dating app like all the others? Because I assume most women will select to have men do the approaching.
Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.
