'we have lost young men' was pushed by Shor, and his source was 'i made it up'
Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.
Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

Young men voted Mamdani by 68-26 percent for Cuomo. Young men voted blue in last night's other major races but by nowhere near this margin

Imagine if the government devoted the same kind of energy to ridding the country of guns as it does to ridding the country of immigrants. It is possible to do things if you want to
one reason to want real gun control is that we wouldn't have to sit around endlessly going "what does the shooter's use of this obscure meme tell us about his views on society" bc he wouldn't be a shooter bc he wouldn't have a gun. he would just be....some guy. sounds better, right?

![We want to be able to say stuff that other people, for institutional reasons, can’t say, or they’re too afraid to say.
You may be the only CEO in America making that promise.
We’re in a unique position, certainly. And other places have to learn from this — being afraid all the time and just constantly making transactional moves. How long can you survive like this? What is even the point of being alive if you’re just gonna continue managing rot? And it seems like that’s what 98 percent of people are doing in these media companies right now. I don’t know, take a chance. Nobody likes what’s happening. Especially if you’re a journalism company or a media company, you’re [meant to be] actually reflecting what people want or what people believe. So get some guts and do something interesting. It’s not that hard.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:x4qyokjtdzgl7gmqhsw4ajqj/bafkreihhqahdsympkilcsdqyztdudygmevh2ioksi2kzbtdo7kbilcnalu@jpeg)
