Because no Gen Z sees 50$k towards a house and is impressed. That offer alone shows such a ridiculous disconnect between the dems and the populace. Yes that would be beneficial for a very select minority of Gen Z, but for the vast majority.
Not close to helpful, radical or on level to Trump’s promises (lies).
They want sweeping change, they expect politicians to lie and embellish. If the politician offers something so minor when they are expected to embellish then the avg voter probably expects even less or nothing at all.
At least significant promises can get people excited. Even if they are obvious lies to those paying attention. Sad reality is vast majority of people of any generation pay almost no attention whatsoever.
I think people seeing her message might have helped. But the difference maker would have been a message people actually want to get behind. That would have spread organically.
Now whether the DNC was cooked either way following the publics perception of Bidens term is another thing. But a strong message will always prevail - even if it is a lie.
It certainly was that obvious if you pay attention how we do, but don’t you see how blaming the populous takes this from an actionable problem to a less actionable one. ‘Improving’ the populace requires a concerted effort and time, both of which are lacking…
Surely it would be better to blame the bullshit artists stirring the pot than the general public. That is, those who push the narrative so heavily in favour of the right regardless of the individual democrats actions. Those who intentionally undermine education and control information such that false narratives can prevail.
But it is also naive to act like the DNC was entirely without fault. There can be multiple parties at fault. They need to meet people where they are at, otherwise they won’t get anywhere.
Thank you for the suggestions. Hasan has made huge progress for the left, he’s not perfect but he’s so far from a Zionist, he’s been the main target of the ADL for many months now, targeting him and his consistent anti-zionist attitude has been so important to the Zionist because they recognise how powerful having such a large voice speaking against them is. There’s a reason they’ve tried so heavily to deplatform him.
You may not like him and he may not be perfect, but in terms of real influence he is clearly a powerful ally.
Funnily enough I was exposed to Second Thought and Hakim through Hasan, I think he has been a return guest on there. I will check out MidwesternMarx. I’ve had people try to discredit Hasan by saying he is associated with Second Thought, so you can understand why I’m not likely to immediately succumb to divide and conquer tactics.
He does a good job, every person and spokesperson has their individualities, overall he is hugely net positive to the left - I think if you are saying ‘speak up also’ then you are valid, but if you are saying ‘cut down your allies’ for minor differences then you are naive or an op.
First gen leafs are almost 15 years old at this point, they, until the design change, didn’t include dedicated battery heating and cooling tech which is part of why their batteries didn’t last as long as later models.
Any one newer than 2015 shouldn’t have these issues, and many have been retrofitted with newer batteries today. There are older gen Leafs still on the market however you just have to be mindful of the battery health, especially given they had much smaller batteries back then. If the health is low on one of those old batteries though you’ll be lucky to get 100km range, so the older first gens have limited use cases today.
- If someone shoots a gun at you, do you shoot back?
- They latch on to manufactured garbage anyway, there is no amount of ammunition we can avoid giving them.
- They sent out thousands of texts to young black Americans in more than 10 states telling them they are ‘due to the plantations at X date 9 AM sharp’, they are already doxxing and worse.
