Swing States in 2024 Presidential Election

Swing States in the 2024 Presidential Election Georgia and Arizona are predicted to be among the closest contenders in the power rankings in the 2024 presidential election. This state was once a Republican stronghold. Wisconsin, Nevada and Pennsylvania have flipped red and blue over the past few years, so it’s been difficult to figure out who enrolled voters there will choose in 2024. “The…

“Men in society are raised with high levels of entitlement and should be held to account for their actions” and “Masculinity is not inherently evil and believing so harms those who do not fit the ‘correct’ societal definition, such as men of colour, gay men, gnc men and transmascs” are ideas that can and should coexist actually

SO YOU WANT TO GET HIRED IS NOW LIVE ON ITCHIO! :D

This thirty-page guide is specifically written to help you navigate the world of working-class jobs. In it, I break down what to put in your resume (even if you have no experience at all!), how to dress for the interview, how to play the very confusing and nonsensical world of the working-class interview, and what happens after you drag yourself out of the crucible of the interview on your hands and knees.

It's helpful! It's for those of us who want to know how to get hired for something as menial as a food runner! It's not that long, so you don't need to carve out several hours to in-depth research! It's got jokes — and Brian David Gilbert references!

Please reblog to help reach as many people as possible, because sometimes we all need a little help adulting, and I'm here to share what I know with you, no judgment.

(If you want to make sure I am not forced to be victim to website fees, you can always just send me $3 on Ca$h@pp/V3nm0 (deadtower) or P@yp@l (paypal.me/deadtower) and email me at februaryfirstpublishing@gmail.com with your username/when you sent the money, and I can send you the PDF that way! Also, if you can't afford it, no worries! Just shoot me an email and I'll send it to you discounted to as low as $1, or for free, depending on your financial situation. I want everyone to have access to the resources they deserve. <3)

I would urge everyone to take a break from major social media coverage of the election every so often. You owe it to yourself not to doom spiral. Yes, it is bad. But it’s not over for us. Queer people have always endured and we will continue to do so. You still have communities that love you and want you here. Check in with the people who support you in your life, rest, do what makes you happy. It sounds corny, but this isn’t an expression of “just pretend it’s not happening!” I think it’s important not to let them completely demoralize you. You are still wanted here.

No amount of 2014-era pop-feminism structural-issues-as-personal-praxis could ever get me fully comfortable with the way some politically incurious women would co-opt the rhetoric of the patriarchy for their own selfish/violent ends. Now that we've moved out of that time and I've become more aware of the intersectional implications I see it even more; the dehumanising way that some women talk about men is dangerous and frightening, and doesn't stop being so no matter the large-scale structural power dynamic at play.

If you can't see other humans as intrinsically human in the same way as you are, you are an unsafe person to be around, even if said humans are individually members of a structural "oppressor" demographic that holds societal power over your own.

There it is, the demographic breakdown (& comparison) I was waiting for:

And many a reporter is saying that the main reason is economic, to which somebody most eloquently responded:

the thing about elections is that they tend to show online leftists can be kind of incredibly dense.

Theres too much going on regarding American politics it scarily mirrors the Nazi Regime.

The Supreme Court just overruled Cheveron v NRD. Which in simple terms means, they just stripped experts in their respective fields of their RIGHTS to speak on and determine whats proper for the FDA, Safety in Aviation, healthcare, social security, education, civil rights, WORKERS rights, the environment etc. People are going to lose their jobs or have to “transfer” because of this.

More importantly the judiciary branch can now take payouts and implement whatever they’d like, experts be damned. Now the supreme court holds all the power & a certain party has made it clear that they will take away abortion nation wide, same sex marriage, interracial marriage, the right to privacy and more. I suggest you all look into Project 2025!

To make matters worse the supreme court LITERALLY just ruled that homelessness is illegal….it’s about to get scary

​I encourage anyone that lives in America to vote for the democratic party and do their research on the people you vote for. Not just on the national scale but your mayors, governors, etc.

white women need to talk to their sisters, their mothers, their aunts and the other white women in their lives because to sit on this internet and point the finger at minority voters is insane.

"this big corporate game has bad racial & lgbt politics" well. yeah.

I think the big issue with Harris is that they used up any enthusiasm they had at the outset. When Biden dropped out and Harris stepped up, there was quite a bit of enthusiasm, maybe a hope that something would change. Then Walz was picked as VP, and once again, people were excited because Minnesota was seen as pretty progressive compared to the more institutional democrats. Then, as Novemeber approached, things started to fall apart. Harris started talking about being the most lethal military and securing borders. She got approval from Dick Cheney. And for the lot who were hoping to hear something in favor of brokering peace with Israel Palestine, there was a fake Biden Ultimatum against Netanyahu and nothing was done even while Trump bragged he was talking with Bibi and actively sabotaging Biden's brokering efforts.

I've seen people blame ID politics for their failure, but feminist and queer issues weren't unpopular, per se. Many states—even red states—passed abortion and queer marriage protections. A trans woman was sent to Congress, and this is the first time two black women are senators at the same time.

I think people are tiring of institutional Democrats. There's no excitement with the DNC. Their biggest selling point they keep giving is occupying seats to keep Republicans out of it. Anyone who may have an issue with institutional Democrats are told to fall into rank to keep Trump away. So, even if logically, Trump is a massive blow to a lot of these positions, people don't want to vote for "Not Trump^tm" for the third presidential election cycle in a row. They want and needed someone to get excited about.

I was a sophomore in high school during the 2016 election. By the time Trump leaves office, I will be approaching my 30s. I know there's a lot of finger-pointing right now about who dropped the ball on the presidential election, and we can blame any minor faction we want. "It's the Latinos! It's the progressives! It's the straight white men!"

Honestly, I don't think it's any of the major voting blocks, but, as I've said, the DNC as a whole. For their stuffy suits and constant attempts at reaching across the aisle with people who spit at their existence, demean their identities. When Harris called Republicans weird, people thought we were out of the woods with overly cordial negotiating and finally got someone who was willing to play ball.

I'm in progressive spaces, so it's certainly obvious that my observation that the DNC was too moderate is biased. That said, I think it was a one-two punch of being made to fall into line then losing because of a stark drop in turn out has lead to many believing someone else didn't do their part, almost a resentful "I had to give up my aspirations for the next administration to not be Trump, why couldn't you?"
