This is not my personal opinion, I know Gen Z men who voted for Harris. But the voter demographics really speak for themselves, and maybe now people will look at the radicalization of young men as a serious (but solvable) issue.

Offer them a life that's better than the one leading them down that path. It's the same way any terrorism is dealt with if you want it to actually have an effect.

Offer them a life that’s better than the one leading them down that path.

My dude, Democrats actually do offer a life that's better for everyone, but that's the problem.

These people don't want other people to live better lives, they only want a better life for themselves. And the only way to get there is to quite literally either kill other people or make their lives unlivable.

Someone who's willing to die or be put in jail "to stop the jews" or whatever bullshit they subscribe to, doesn't give a damn about universal healthcare or a woman's reproductive rights.

On the flip side, they aren't voting for a guy who will improve their lives (not in the way you and I would view as an improved life). They are voting for a guy who will make OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES miserable. Because that's how their world view works.

Unless you want Democrats to do the same, they are on completely different wavelengths.

I wish I was wrong.

I'm not so sure that's really what Democrats offer anymore.

The Democrats offer nothing at all.

Awhile back I saw a political cartoon that said "Hey, can we get healthcare, living wages, housing and affordable groceries?

Republicans: No.

Democrats: No. Black Lives Matter.

Same shit, different lip service.
