If you view it that way, then yeah, nothing they can do. Either women win and guys lose or guys win and women lose. I mean there is another approach you are completely missing....there are ways to approach issues that impact both of them. Maybe we went too far on how we approach schooling in advocating for girls and that advocacy went from seeking equality to merely shifting from one inequality to another. You can talk to both men and women, Democrats have actively chosen not to.
There are less jobs that need men.... That's a given. Trump spoke to it and they voted for him, even if he doesn't really have solutions. The other option either ignored them or called them toxic. Not sure why it's a surprise outcome.
Thanks for your reports of data on all of this. You're doing yeoman's work.
The figure you're citing is meant for the dumbest of the dumb. It does not account for profession or hours spent working. Only idiots regurgitate it.
I don’t remember hearing Harris solution to the problem?
The Dems didn’t have a real choice, given the timing. It was either Biden or Harris.
But the timing *was* a choice. They decided early on to gaslight about Biden instead of putting the heat on him to step aside. It’s understandable, he was the incumbent and you don’t ever want to give up that advantage. So they reflexively defended their guy and tried to deny that he had been diminished.
What they didn’t consider, I guess, is that it would get worse…just as he was having to make more public appearances related to campaigning. And it culminated in that debate debacle.
Harris.... No. Was the idea of toxic masculinity not a common point brought up by the left for the last many years? Certainly was during Trump's first term.
And Republicans have chosen to? Seriously, how do Republicans address the glass ceiling?
I think Democrats thought the infrastructure bill would create blue collar jobs, and it did. But I don't think that was seen as helping. A CNN reporter spoke about talking to construction workers working on an infrastructure project in Michigan that were all voting Trump. I think Democrats thought that would be the inroad and it wasn't.
Democrats have lost those voters for probably a generation due to cultural issues. They might as well give up and go all in on becoming an urban party and try to win wealthy suburbanites
I am pointing out women have concerns to. I could list the usual "for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 84 cents". That extends further down the scale.
My point is men are saying "ha, Democrats ignored us" but seriously aren't the Republicans ignoring women? Name specific programs touted by Republicans for women?
Child tax credits. School choice. No men is women's sport's, extending the tax cuts.
Even cooler story.
It does account for hours spent working and the difference is actually in great degree driven by managerial positions...sort of the kind of thing that Marvin was referencing.
Only braindead morons don't recognize that it is a real phenomenon that women are working hard to overcome, so I get why you don't recognize it.
i respect his candor and downright admire his mustached look but dig deeper and he's a far left liberal.
It means an overwhelmingly right wing court for the rest of my life. At least the rest of my career. Might be time for a change for me.
Fetterman is an amazing story, really. I don't agree with much of his politics, but you can't say the man isn't real.
How do any of those help women in the workplace any more than me pointing out men also qualify for ACA, for the stimulus check, for pretty much any government program.
We'll visit this tomorrow. No need to be an ass over something that hasn't happened.
Did you get your invitation to Auburn? Of course, there is an initiation.....
Isn't Harris the "other option" you were referring to when you said Trump spoke to them and "The other option either ignored them or called them toxic"?
I wasn’t being an ass. Posters were acting like it’s been called.
lmao Kind of like claiming Trump is guilty before a trial even starts?
Don't act like you're not an ass 'over something that hasn't happened'.
As long as they always make a good faith effort to operate in fidelity to the ratified text of the Constitution, as understood by those who drafted and ratified it, then this is just fine by me.
Because that is what a court is supposed to do — not do what they think is right…and just let the law catch up.
But I know a lot of people have it in for Thomas himself. So maybe they’ll take some solace in the likelihood that his tenure on the bench is probably nearing its end.
She said that what ever they are, they will not be what she's done the last for years, but what she will possibly do the next for years. "we move forward, not look at what "I" am actually doing". .. Or something to that effect (did I get the effect/ affect thingy right this time?)
Marv. Giving birth to a child and raising them takes a chunk out of your career goals. You cannot legislate that fact away with government. And you shouldn't try.
Women generally love their kids and they vote in their interests over anything else. The problem is Democrats seem to wan't less women having kids.
No, it's still a race. Just all uphill for Kamala. Not over though. Even so, poster on r modpolitics said tomorrows headline will be :
"Black/Latino/Asian voters are the new face of white supremacy"
LOL

The solution was I was raised in a middle class family.
I said ignored. Harris didn't run a real campaign. She got anointed 4 months ago and did probably about as good as she was capable of. She basically had to run as a weak incumbent in an unpopular administration
