considering the people who care the most about "that guy is too old" are progressive types I doubt the guy whose first headline of Trump 2 was "the Dems like trans people too much" is gonna win on that message

young republicans didn't used to be like this! i know because they weren't racist to me, a white lady,

Amanda Marcotte @amandamarcotte.bsky.social · 18h

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.

That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

At this point I honestly think everyone who doesn't actively want a republican should be excited at this, we can knock out anyone who can't hack it early, concentrating resources on people who have a real chance at getting the real undecided voter: the ones who aren't decided on if it's worth voting

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

then correct them and if they don't listen block them instead of losing sleep over it.

mandoqueer (Hypnobait) @mandoqueer.itch.io · 2h

not someone who's anywhere in this thread and if they are I've probably blocked them already. In any case the best way to answer someone saying "Pritzker Is a zionist and not to be trusted" is still "Pritzker supports taking guns from Israel" and not "Stop trashing him right now you Jill Stein fan!"

you simply do not "have to hand it to" any generation of the young republicans, and if you're a reformed former young republican the appropriate place to discuss your feelings about it is a therapist's office

if you want people to stop asking if Pritzker Is on the up and up this script is probably the worst thing you could say to them instead of just straightforwardly and honestly answering the questions about a dude who is pretty much in the up and up

It is laughable to think that you can neuter the far right with minor tweaks like this.

How many Conservative or Reform supporters even know that immigrants have to pass a language test? They object to immigration on emotional grounds, not because they have dry objections to eligibility criteria.

To ensure graduates contribute effectively to the economy, the maximum post-study stay will be reduced to 18 months from the current 2 years for most from 1 January 2027. It comes after data clearly showed that many holders had not transitioned into graduate-level employment as intended.
Finance requirements for student visas will also be increased for the 2025 to 2026 academic year, meaning foreign students will have to demonstrate they have sufficient funds to support themselves.

mandoqueer (Hypnobait) @mandoqueer.itch.io · 12h

actually bringing it up at all seems like a bad idea when said intended message depends on "nobody's actively working to keep you out you're just not being good at politics"

I ain't disagreeing with OP at all but I think "what about the Nevada democrats" *is* a relevant question, actually.
