“Misandry” always ends up actually being either misdiagnosed classism, self-inflicted wounds from the patriarchy, or schadenfreude over seeing celebrities fall because they’re celebrities.

Speaking of such things, everyone talks like that’s some entirely new phenomenon in Hollywood but overlooks that Fatty Arbuckle’s career got canned a century ago over false sexual assaults allegations. People being gossipy over the famous is not an attack on men as a whole.

For example, my economic policies, think of it and I have named it as "creating an opportunity economy." It's about things like investing in small businesses. I love our small businesses.

OMFG EVERY DEMOCRAT IN THE LAST TWENTY YEARS HAS RUN ON HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES THIS IS AS SAMEY AS IT GETS

Gets 90+% in California and New York, loses Pennsylvania and Michigan by half a percentage point.

Yes I’ve rented several 2 bedroom apartments in the last few years in Los Angeles, NYC, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, all for $400-$500 a month. Yes, this is very real and you should very much be using it to determine what rent you recommend landleeches err landlords charge.

Two X is always extrapolating legitimate individual gripes about partners or dating woes to macro politics. Which just ends up backdooring individualism into feminist politics, and some of the worst traits of second wave feminism; woman not liking doing a particular sexual act with her partner because he’s a selfish jerk gets turned into “no women like doing that act” which just alienates women who do like it and ignores the fundamental “he’s a jerk” problem.

Whenever a more systemic threads gains traction it devolves into “just vote blue no matter who.”

Embattled NYPD Commissioner Tom Donlon is expected to vacate his post as early as Friday after his background check hit a snag — and the city’s current Sanitation Department boss, Jessica Tisch, is seen as the top contender to replace him, the Daily News has learned.

In case you’re wondering, that’s Tisch as in the same Tisch family that owns the Loews Corporation, the New York Giants, whose name adorns the Tisch school of the arts and the Tisch hospital at NYU, and whom the library at Tufts is named after. Which gives you a good idea as to why she’s a commissioner in Adams administration.

You’re right they’d want that, but it would also be biting off way more than they can chew. They’d turn the entirety of the region against them, Russia would probably get involved to stabilize things, and while America’s tolerance for Israeli shenanigans is huge, invading an ally like Saudi Arabia would break that.

Such a scenario would inevitably expand the open-air prison model of Gaza to the majority of Israeli-occupied lands. That would add a huge number of non-Jewish people to the Israeli state and obviously they can’t give all those people first class citizen status and a vote while keeping it a “Jewish” state. The mental gymnastics the West would need to pretend such a country is a “free democracy” would be astronomical.

Zelensky makes various moves to try to cling to power once the war ends. Western libs will spin this as somehow not a violation of democracy, but will quickly just stop talking about Ukraine outright. Once he’s deposed, the government will descend into a fight between the right wing faction that feels vaguely white nationalist, and the right wing faction that’s just straight up sporting fascist imagery. One of them will seize control in a violent coup and establish a dictatorship. Western libs, if they pay any attention at all, will act like this just came out of the blue and had nothing to do with the prolonged war.
