Tell that to sore loser NC judge Jefferson Griffin. He’s pulling the same s**t FDJT did in 2021 and trying to get the state Supreme Court to rule (and not a federal judge).

If Harris was a white man she would have picked up another point or two in the popular vote and still likely lost the electoral college. Unfortunately the unpopularity of the current admin (Harris did at least eight points better than approval rating) was too much to overcome this time.

Until democrats realize republicans are playing a much different game than they are, using social media to sway voters, using AI to spread fake news, realize that men in this country will never elect a women, no matter how progressive we think we are, we are not, men in this country are anti woman, AOC has no chance to win any kind of national election.
Trump did not win by a landslide, he won by what, less than a million votes, they waited to long to find a nominee other than Biden and i love Biden and supported him, but in reality he wasnt the right person and Kamala wasnt either, we were mislead into thinking the polls had her winning, that her massive crowds were a sign of her support, but in reality, between Zuckerberg, Musk, Russia, China amond numerous billionaires who brainwashed people into thinking Trump was the best candidate and 49% or the voters believe that propaganda.
Democrats need to realize they are losing a fight they are not aware they are fighting and so far, i havent heard any say things have to change in their party

How YouTubers pushed young male voters to Trump (with receipts)

+ Gamergate 2.0, pocket cheese, NYT on The Rizzler, MrBeast is hiring, and a Twitter exec reveals why Vine *really* failed

www.usermag.co

Bloomberg published a stunning investigation detailing exactly how a cadre of top male influencers helped swing the election for Trump. The outlet reviewed over 2,000 videos from nine prominent YouTubers, streamers and podcasters and analyzed two years of transcripts to see how the creators and their guests discussed politics.

As I’ve written before, Trump’s inauguration wasn’t just a political moment, it was the culmination of a decades long seismic shift in the media landscape (my book, Extremely Online, documents this shift). Traditional media gatekeepers have been replaced by YouTubers and podcasters, especially for young, predominantly male voters.

Bloomberg’s investigation into the content being published by big YouTubers reveals a pattern of pro-Trump messaging sandwiched between entertainment-focused content consisting of “free-wheeling discussions of sports, masculinity, internet culture, gambling and pranks,” making it more digestible for apolitical audiences.
