I think that points to the democrats need for sneaker based messaging networks. Instead of buying huge expensive ads that nonvoters won’t watch and giving that money out to tv networks why not use the high volunteer base to buy t shirts and restaurant meal coupons then hand them out to people. stuff like that. I think there needs to be more lateral thinking here. Less emails, more tshirts.

I agree with you in spirit but not in rhetoric. I’d call them dipshits.

Except gen z men voted at like a 2% more for trump in a low turnout election its like well within every margin of error that it could be decreasing support since 2020.

The significant portion of the almost 20 million Biden voters that just checked out of politics and decided since everything seemed ok, no need to vote. Thats the media outreach problem. It guarantees that republicans will regain power everytime the economy gets patched up with duct tape.

except he “renegotiated” nafta and is now threatening mexico with tariffs. He’s a childlike negotiator playing geopolitics backed by like 5 giant media conglomorates and silicon valley guys who reinvent busses and trains every 5 years.

The reality is the crypto people are going to stash their crypto as the economy tanks intent on living like millionaires. Then the big money will cash out and crash that market leaving all the small holders in the dust.

fake story about how workers are dumb. Yeah.

I mean regardless I think pulling back spending is a great idea for 2025. Make those purchases now while they’re still cheap. Buy your toilet paper etc

Its definitely a media outreach problem.

This is largely how non voters have responded when asked as far as I’ve seen: “feels like things aren’t broken, I can sit this out”

Its not a take its just the reality we live in.

those are for sure the ones sticking around

Edit: Literally they’re going to put an “ivermectin covid” guy in charge despite the fact quality studies show it at best does nothing and at worst may be slightly harmful

I do expect that our future includes a lot of stupid plane crashes because of lax regulation

but then they got woke

I’m just saying the whole “state’s rights” things is sort of a red herring. The right believes they don’t have to follow the rules; “crimes are when undesireables do things only I should be allowed to do”

I mean you could read the rest of what I wrote to see thats not the case. I’m reacting to interviews with nonvoters I saw, which are shockingly unaware. Like I don’t think democrats or leftists have any media reach.

its always the democrats fault, a brave take. Harris’ campaign was not good, but Its possible she had no chance even with a perfect campaign. There are far too many comitted nonvoters that are completely offline and don’t watch news.

The democrats as a party just don’t have the in person networks to reach people. They just send out emails and clock out thinking everyone even has an email account. Job done.

Literally the civil war started because kansas didn’t want to be a slave state. The whole state’s right thing is just a talking point not a held belief.

this is why I’m doing the “buy nothing 2025 challenge.” Would be a shame if consumer spending went down in january and sparked a panic.

Probably. I think nukes could do it in 20 years, but ecological collapse will be a brutal 200 years

if you listen to interviews of non voters they’re not even online. Ever. Like we need more people reaching out to real humans in the real world. they don’t listen to news they arent online. I don’t think democrats were ever going to win this one, too many voters are entirely unreachable.

the supreme court is basically all catholic. Something tells me the evangelicals will get thrown under the bus at some point

eventually its just the same group, plus when your standards of evidence include demon stories etc even the nazis were prone to a substiantial amount of friendly fire.

I mean you could also take the “don’t buy from US based corporations for 1 year challenge” starting january 1st 2025. Stock up on any corporate goods you need now then buy nothing for a year.

The pandemic market rallied because of a bailout after consumer spending plummeted. Would be a shame if the same thing happened and suddenly there was no emergency for a bailout to sail under.

They won’t have time and energy for persecuting people if the economy is broken.

Record/pirate a bunch of movies/shows then cancel streaming for a year. Buy any electronics now before the tariffs start. Buy surplus canned food etc. Then see how little you can spend the entire year of 2025. Planning on doing tourist stuff inside the US? Don’t. If you work at a big corporation consider deleting an important email and see what happens.

Lets fuck around.
