Indeed, it seems this messaging may end up with the same energy as "defund the police" did...an albatross to put around the necks of the majority of people in this country (even if they don't always vote. FFS.).

Also, the chuds are just going to call all the liberal men dating liberal women "cucks" even more at this point...this will feed right into their enjoyment and they are going to bask in it.

I have to admit I don't understand the friendly fire aspect of this. I totally get wanting to withhold everything positive, including any sort of affection at all, from anyone that voted for this, but doing it uniformly?

I also understand wanting to fully vet just what kind of "ally" you might be dealing with while dating. Obviously guys will lie about such a thing since they know that voting for donvict is a huge turnoff, at minimum, never mind this movement.

I also don't have a dog in the fight.

Well, I guess they might have enough money to escape.

Honestly, I think if they had something that was safe (enough? - and we are talking about putting autonomous cars on the road in greater numbers, so in the scheme of things, a malfunctioning robot might be extremely painful, but maybe not deadly) in the bedroom, they would get snapped up. Add in the ability to carry on a conversation - and I hear some people are already falling in love with chatbots - and cooking/cleaning, I think that'd be enough for a lot of these guys, assuming the stigma gets blunted over time.

Hey, if it brings down the temperature for this bunch, I'm all for it. I doubt many of them are too complicated - something that lets them bust a nut and makes a sandwich for them and remembers nearly every detail about them might go pretty far...

In general, and more recently. Yes, Kamala thread the needle quite well, I thought. One of the best examples is as you say - not taking the bait, but also selecting Walz.

It goes mostly beyond Democrats, TBH. There is a cultural thing going on right now, and honestly, I cannot help but wonder if it is part of the oligarchy's strategy to specifically annoy and turn off a lot of people - meaning, some people just want escapism in their entertainment, and instead, they are often getting sanctimonious messaging that is so ham-fisted as to break the fourth wall. If they aren't doing this on purpose with the intent of making more Republicans, they should know they are not really winning hearts and minds by seemingly going out of their way to try to ruin every single intellectual property with this stuff. Their attitude, even if they are losing literally millions of dollars in the process, seems to be to raise their middle finger to the fans. The people getting annoyed by this are not all racists, or misogynists or transphobic...but they might start voting with that bunch for the likes of donvict as a result.

So, a lot of this is entirely beyond the Democratic Party's control, but I think they'd be better off if they made it clear they are for EVERYONE while distancing themselves from more sanctimonious messaging that looks like it is just engaging in blaming cishet white men for existing.

People struggling to make ends meet might just be getting tired of the culture lecturing on how "too many white men are being centered" in fictional narratives when they just want some escapism to escape from the miserable lives Republicans are making for them, and if they think the Democrats are here to pound the same message in, they are going to tune out.

They died in higher percentages than normal Americans during Covid, and yet, we are still neck deep in dumbfucks that think donvict is a great choice to lead this country...

If he has bass ackwards ideas about vaccines he’ll have them about hundreds of other life saving medications and procedures.

This. Stupid ideas tend to cluster together. For instance, geniuses that are moon landing denialists also tend to fall for other things like vaccine denial, Holocaust denial, evolution denial, climate change denial, HIV denial, etc...

I’m always wary of that word as I’ve mostly seen it used by middle-aged white girls who flunked science class.

Yes, this. Define "toxins".

Sorry, Empty G, you are still a crazy Karen no matter how much hooting you do.

People are adults at 17?

It’s a risk to those who have been breaking the law, including those who put her on a watchlist.

LOL, mmmkay.

or demand the entire 82 billion square kilometres of the Russian state turned to glass.

Um, who is demanding that?
