Vincent Oriedo, a biotechnology scientist, had just such a question. What lessons have been learned, he asked, from Harris’s defeat in this vital swing county in a crucial battleground state that voted for Joe Biden four years ago, and how are the Democrats applying them?

“They did not answer the question,” he said.

“It tells me that they haven’t learned the lessons and they have their inner state of denial. I’ve been paying careful attention to the influencers within the Democratic party. Their discussions have centred around, ‘If only we messaged better, if only we had a better candidate, if only we did all these superficial things.’ There is really a lack of understanding that they are losing their base, losing constituencies they are taking for granted.”

“We have set ourselves up for generational loss because we keep promoting from within leaders that that do not criticise the moneyed interests. They refuse to take a hard look at what Americans actually believe and meet those needs.”

No such thing as a “Patriarchy” when you can falsely accuse a man & get them fired & especially when you have several welfare programs that are for women only

Anyone who whines about downvotes should be downvoted, since they are off-topic.

Who’s whining (Apparently Predicting that bigots will downvote = whining) ?? all I see is people who cannot stand the bitter truth & apparently you are the arbitter of what is off-topic & what is not

Not that it matters, because at the end the point is very simple, you leftists never learn & are in denial about your losses (yes I know Democrats are liberals)<br> Hence you’ll keep on losing, until you’re dust; Hell, even you leftists when push comes to shove behave like/devolve into right-wingers & use their talking points

Why believe when I can prove

This is going to be interesting, if you reject this then it’ll be clear that you are not interested in having a proper debate UPDATE: None of you watched the video did you, then make peace with your defeat.

Patriarchy is not a binary issue. Even at the height of Patriarchy, there will still be issues where women have the upper hand. In today’s world, Patriarchy has steadily been weakened by people’s efforts, but that doesn’t mean your system is no longer based on Patriarchy.

In order to uproot Patriarchy, you need to destroy the whole system and rebuild from the ground up, which is of course, impractical and clearly haven’t been done.

If you strongly believe you no longer have a Patriarchy in the US, please show me when did this over turning event that uprooted Patriarchy from your system occurred.

Oh There’s no need to “Believe”, that would imply there’s no factual evidence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve9ZZNfytns

This not just a US thing, it’s a global thing No such thing as a “Patriarchy” (If women are in power in a patriarchy then it isn’t much of a patriarchy now is it, also feminists demand men to be tied down to their gender roles while demanding women to be exempt from their, when they should be demanding to free both genders)

Gynocentrism on the other hand is very real

Your ignorant anti-feminist views are garbage and will be downvoted into oblivion here. People know better. Feminism is not anti-men in any sense. Feminism is about freedom of choice.

Claiming patriarchy doesn’t exist is like claiming the world is flat.
