Most young men aren't incels. There are millions of them who are good people who treat women well. Lots of them are even married with kids.
comment in response to post
I've done none of those things and neither have the vast majority of young men. Blaming people for a world they didn't create isn't right. Or effective, if you want to win again. Maybe if your message was "Young men, you can make the world a better place and here's how" that might resonate better.

So, what's your plan for winning them back?

Kinda sounds like Joe Biden's "windshield cancer" theory of disease. apnews.com/article/bide...

To all the people commenting "Why is this a surprise?", it's because it was a large effort in an area with a low population and the land wasn't ideal for that type of agriculture. It's addressed in the article.
comment in response to post
In this particular case, it's because the population in that area was low at the time and the land wasn't ideal for agriculture. It's not surprising that it could be done, but it's surprising that it's where it is.
comment in response to post
In the article, they say it's because of the location. The area was not thought to be ideal for agriculture at the time it was active.

But most young voters are not part of that. If you focus on a subculture instead of half the population, you're missing the point and won't win the election.

Getting rid of fascists like Hogg is the right thing to do.

Reddit isn't real life. Most people would have no idea what this is even about.

As I said,the Democrats controlled the Texas House of Representatives until 2003. Is that when you think they finally rejected the Dark Side?
comment in response to post
The state of Texas didn't exist in the 17th Century. The state of Texas didn't inherit the laws of the Spanish and French colonists.

Title VII is part of the Civil Rights Act which was signed into law in 1964. Perhaps you are thinking of some "guidance' or executive order from the Obama-Biden administration, not a passed law.

Imagine if an average young man read your comments. I think he'd come away with the impression that you hate him, even though you don't know anything about him.
comment in response to post
That was passed by the Democrats in 1973. Democrats considered themselves pretty liberal at the time.

Democrats ran the Texas House of Representatives from 1846-1866 and 1873-2003. This law was supported by them. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

Not everyone who does male focused media is a bigot. This article is just more evidence that young men need engagement and support, not your decision.
comment in response to post
It was literally not illegal. I was around before that and there were lots of LGBT people who existed and had the right to exist. Unless you think an archaic Texas law against sodomy from when Democrats ran Texas made you not exist.

"Bang maids" are not actually a thing Trump is promising to people.
comment in response to post
That's not what "incel" means at all.
comment in response to post
I'm a man, but no longer young. I'd just prefer to have political parties that serve all people. I think that'd be better for the country.
comment in response to post
It's because losing men is one of the reasons Democrats lost in 2024. We can examine what happened and think about the future -- or not. Either way. 🤷‍♂️
comment in response to post
In 10 years those young men won't be young anymore. And when people decide on their politics, it can be hard to get them to switch. Writing off half the population isn't a recipe for winning elections.
comment in response to post
Also, most Trump voters in that age range aren't "incels" either. Most people aren't "incels" and millions of them don't even know what that term means.
comment in response to post
Good luck with that plan in 2028.
comment in response to post
Does your right to exist somehow depend on 18 year olds? I'm not sure of the mechanism here. You have a right to "exist" and you always have.
comment in response to post
Well, good luck with that. 🙄
comment in response to post
Very few men aged 18-29 are actually"incels". Assuming they are is recipe for ensuring you won't engage with the vast majority who aren't.
comment in response to post
Very few men aged 18-29 are bigots. This is the most tolerant group of men that age in American history.
comment in response to post
True. But I'm right about the information.
comment in response to post
Abortion convinces men that casual sex with women can be free of consequences. Do you think pushing abortion will work to convince men to vote Democratic?
comment in response to post
Do you think calling young men "easy targets" will help you win over that demographic in future elections?
comment in response to post
In the Internet age, there has never been more information.
comment in response to post
Do you think that attitude will help you win future elections?
comment in response to post
Most 18 to 22 year olds haven't done much with their lives yet. You can't blame them for failure to do what you imagine they should be doing.
comment in response to post
Young men actually outnumber young women. And young people get older pretty fast. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogra...

So, no good reason.

OK, but why a Mexican flag?
comment in response to post
That's super duper, but why are they protesting against the Mexican monarchy in Chicago, over a hundred years later?
comment in response to post
Mexico hasn't had a king since 1867. Why do they have a Mexican flag?
comment in response to post
Is there a corresponding event for Canada? ♥️🇨🇦
comment in response to post
Maybe you should wait for facts before posting baseless allegations. Or keep doing what you're doing. 🤷‍♂️

How do the October 7 mass terror attacks fit into this?

Because the suspect has a connection to Governor Walz kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
comment in response to post
Yes. Trump has condemned the killing.
comment in response to post
Turns out the suspect is connected to Governor Walz. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Turns out Tim Walz knows the suspect. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...
