We punish young women for struggling in ways we refuse to admit. And we so heavily police their every move (especially as you move across racial lines) that young women never really get to think failure is an option. Even in media, inept men are to be coddled, women ostracized

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

This idea that young men feel uniquely maligned by society and young women have been coasting just bc of higher college admissions is insane. How often are you talking to young women about their hopes and fears? Their insecurities? The sexual violence they face? Their isolation?

It’s not okay to murder Arab men either, by the way.

[eva @_glorianas]

im sorry but if you guys wanna do something about young men getting radicalized, that has got to be a thing that other men do, look at the things they're saying about women, they don't respect or listen to us, this is your fight

i got 7.5 million live views on my election night coverage but i dont have the backing of right wing donors that do pr for me so i assume it doesn't warrant a vanity fair article

So far Donald Trump is heading for a similar number of votes as last time.

The Democrats’ number of votes, however, has plummeted.

A proper understanding of the election needs to be very clear about who these voters are, and why they didn’t vote.

[blackness everdeen @traceyecorder]

The work that we need to do goes beyond election cycles. It’s narrative, it’s culture, and in my opinion, it’s spiritual.

California decided last night to not raise minimum wage but to put more punishment on retail theft and deny rent control while “voting blue.”

I would go back even further. One could argue that the rank and file didn't really get to choose any nominee in a truly free and open primary fight since Obama, and it shows.

When the entire basis for the excitement around your campaign was how you were separate from Biden, it probably would have been advisable to meaningfully play into that instead of aligning with his policies and only promising a break in the most abstract possible way.

[Ashley Reese @offbeatorbit]

I don't think a different VP pick or even more kowtowing to the right could have saved them. this was peak "it's the economy, stupid."

[Mr. Chau @Srirachachau]

Truly do not understand how many liberals cannot put together that normalizing conservative views, believe it or not…strengthens conservatives!

[Heidi N. Moore @moorehn]

Every single one of these conclusions is wrong.

Josh Shapiro came with a ready-made scandal that would have completely tanked the ticket from the beginning. When she chose Walz, there was an enormous surge of optimism and fundraising. Kamala's team told Walz to stop his VERY EFFECTIVE attack on Trump, and that's when things went south.

Every time Kamala embraced a new right-wing position -- more genocide, a "lethal" military, dropping the Green New Deal position to go for fracking and drilling, supporting crypto instead of healthcare -- is DIRECTLY connected with another drop in her polling. These drops piled up and she just kept moving to the right until she lost her ENTIRE advantage.

It is more important to look at why Trump was allowed to run, after committing sedition and a number of other crimes to which he confessed, than why he was able to win.
