Honestly, a very accurate description. Watch her 8 part transvestigation series on how Brigitte Macron is secretly a man who is in fact her husbands dad and you'll agree.

They would deserve to die for openly debating with people who disagree with them? My god.

You said that the world is an objectively better place without people like him. My friends and family are people like him. Should they be killed?

I didn't even make it past the first one before I saw an open lie. You spreading this stuff is causing the political polarization that we are facing. That is so messed up.

Extremist? His whole thing is the importance of talking with people whom you disagree with; and the political positions he espoused were like bog standard and identical to what Bill Clinton believed.
Pushing the idea that normal ideas are extreme overheats and leads to this political violence.

Yes. And my point is about coalition. If we only partner with those who share our moral choices, we lose. The real challenge is working together despite differences.
Do you want to address what we do with our disagreement about our personal actions first, or why it exists first?

I see the miscommunication- I wasn't saying "what then" as a thought terminator, I was asking how a political coalition is to manage that type of disagreement.
I'm happy to discuss why, as long as we have an eye toward returning to that question of how to manage that disagreement.

Nor you mine?
I asked 'what then' and you asked 'what to explore why?'. Cool, I'd rather talk about how to handle our disagreement going forward rather than talk about its etiology, which is why I asked 'what then?'
Its all cool but it's funny to then critique me for not answering your question

What do we do with that disagreement? I think a) find a compromise we can live with, b) you try to eradicate my beliefs. What other options are there?

Harris didn't lose an election she should have won because vegans failed to break for her. She lost because normal working class men didn't vote for her.
The goal of politics is to help constituents live well, and politicians need to understand what the constituency's vision of living well is.

I'm doing something you believe is wrong, however, your belief is a very, very, very very minoritarian take that is especially not reflected among the group of people in the middle whose preferences determines the outcome of elections.
I really don't think the right approach is to talk down to us.

However, they aren't going to do so if they're being preached at about how the things they value are evil. I value beef, and I don't regret it. You're not gonna convince me. However, you might alienate me.

I'm 100% sure that not only do not vote for Trump, that you aren't good friends with anybody who has.
I just had breakfast with a friend who was on the fence and ended up voting Republican this election cycle. Most of the guys I know don't love Trump, and could be convinced to vote blue.

This conversation is really illustrated of a point, we certainly disagree over this. The question is whether the Democrats need votes from people who agree with my take on this kind of thing versus your take.

1) I'm talking American steak. 2) Yes, I care more about liking beef than the arguments against it, as do a large large large majority of men. Beef is aspirational, and is a metric to answer the question "am I living the good life".

You note that I framed this thread as "if Democrats were sincere about winning men". I think it's an open question if Democrats actually support men, care about them, and want to advocate for them.
There's too much cultural inertia in shitting on men for fun in the party.

Steak is definitely male coded, and that's the point. Is the Democrat party willing to look men in the eye and say "you matter to us in ways that are foreign to us but we're cool with that. We are OK with your culture becoming part of ours"

The reason the steak thing would work is because it actually demonstrates that the Dems are willing to let go of some of their shibboleths and cultural signifiers in order to welcome men into their movement.
Every guy I know has talked with me about the price of steak. Literally every one.
