I know the whole MRA thing is your new vibe so you’ve kind of just personality-locked yourself into making everything about this, but has “toxic masculinity” really been a prevalent topic like… at all? And could you maybe explain what it actually has to do with the point you were trying to make?

Harris in ten minutes has eaten 5 percentage points off Trump's lead in Minnesota according to axios, Live edit correction, now leads Minnesota.

Of course they are.

Nobody reads.

iPhones. You can google whatever you need to know on a whim, so you don’t need to know anything anymore.

Social media.

People are way way way waaaay stupider than they used to be. That’s almost not debatable is it?

She's been projected to win Minnesota for a while, but it's actually fallen from 90% to 75%

We live in a world where people are so dumb they can't even tell when their lives get demonstrably worse. As long as they're told their lives are better they eat it up. Who cares if they can't afford to eat - Musk pays less taxes!!!

The entirety of basic information and human history at your fingertips, accessible within seconds what gets them is the white noise of disinformation. Ppl need to be led. When you get bad leaders telling how to disseminate all this free info, it's catastrophic.

This is such a bizarre post. Who's talking about toxic masculinity?

I dislike both candidates.



Honestly I don't think that Harris presented that well, And she didn't do a great job on presenting with the economy and border issues.


I also think her choice of a VP candidate wasn't good.

Well if your live watching vote counts and for the first hour you're seeing trump own Minnesota by a whopping 60 percent vote sharing, it's a big swing. Also a good reminder to folks that we aren't even close to the end of this.

There's a decent chance it's been a red mirage all along.

It is crazy considering Trump wants to place aggressive tarrifs.

Again, I don't mind being wrong, but this is a replay of the past election.
With the exception of the last 5 minutes, I've studiously avoided all of today's live election coverage. It's all just noise and blather with a healthy side of stress until the fat lady starts clearing her throat.



Regardless of the outcome though, it's hard not to be disappointed in our neighbours to the south. That it's even close - and that Trump stands such a healthy shot at winning - is an effing disgrace and an indictment of their national character.

54% of Americans have a literacy rate below 6th grade and the support for trump and gop pretty much verifies that.

Yeah. It's because she's a woman, probably.

On an unrelated note, in my defense, I did say it was going to be a landslide. I just missed one small thing.

Hey man, not wanting women to be raped and carry to term, or the legal age for marriage be set to 14 isn't toxic masculinity like wisconsion wants to legalize again.


If you can't find a women, don't prey on 14 years olds and don't blame anyone because you think we should go back to a time where that was ok.. whats sick comment.

If anyone really believes Harris can win you can make a killing betting it . Don’t miss your opportunity to get rich ! Even the popular vote is paying 4-1 !
