I read a Reddit (through RDX mind you) post the other day that included the Who we serve page from the democrats’ website. The user noted that men were not on that list and pointed it out as on of the reasons Kamala Harris had lost. Meaning the Democratic Party should pander to the white young men demographic as well.

I keep seeing this sentiment over and over again on social media. And I can’t help but make the analogy to the “All lives matter.” as opposed to “Black Lives matter.” Am I wrong to think this? I am not from the United States. Please don’t bite my head off as this is no stupid questions.

    The problem is we had a car salesperson selling us a genuinely nice comfortable, reliable, family car vs a car salesperson selling us a “sports car” from some unknown decade with a number of questionable but loudly expressed selling points we don’t understand “IT’S GOT A TURBO BOOSTMAX 9000! THAT OTHER CAR DOESN’T HAVE THAT! IT MIGHT EVEN INTENTIONALLY KILL YOU WITH ITS SO CALLED SAFETY FEATURES” belittling us for even considering taking the family car.

    … we bought the “sports car.”

    There is a point where the salesperson is not the one responsible and the buyer is just genuinely stupid.
