If every Muslim voter in Dearborn voted for Harris, she still would have lost Michigan.

If you want to blame voters for current conditions, feel free to blame the actual demographic responsible for Trump and that is WHITE PEOPLE.

"should have done more" is such an infuriating evasion of "misstep," which politicians love because it lets them claim that the thing they did was actually correct (in the sense that more of it would have been better)
"Pressed for an actual misstep, she [Harris] added not doing more to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel for how he was waging the Gaza war “as it related to innocent Palestinians.”
Harris in an interview with the New York Times concedes that the Biden admin should have done more.

This is genuinely unhinged. All the things chatgpt can do don't matter; all the things that DO matter are things you DON'T want chatgpt giving you it's random statistical approximation of what a correct answer might look like

Amusing that the main pitch for ChatGPT is telling everyone they are dumb idiots who can't possibly handle tasks on their own that humans have accomplished on their own since the dawn of time.

Not only is ICE snatching hard working people who are trying to earn a living, they’re taking their money too?

The right likes the birth rate panic because it helps them do more misogyny. But they also like it because it tricks democrats into re-framing good progressive social policies as solutions to a problem they probably won't solve. (Partially because it doesn't exist.) newrepublic.com/article/2040...
What If Both Sides in the Birth Rate Debate Are Wrong?
The right wants to steer women away from work and toward motherhood. The left wants to provide them with more state support so it’s easier to have children. We should refuse this choice.

I think there's a lot of this, obviously, but the reason there's no "women loneliness epidemic" is the same reason there IS a male one: a media that tells the story it wants to tell and backfills it with anecdata afterwards
I'm starting to wonder how much "the male loneliness epidemic" is just straight and bisexual women identifying low-effort, mean, and incompetent men and choosing not to date, marry, and tolerate them anymore
