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 entire point of a political campaign is to motivate voters to vote for the candidate…
If not enough people voted, then it’s the fault of the campaign/candidate.
Like imagine if you sold cars, you could blame not selling on potential customers not wanting to buy a car, but your manager isn’t going to listen when the other guy can still sell cars despite being a giant piece of shit.
You’ll be called a bad salesperson.
And if you don’t improve in almost a decade, it would be crazy to keep paying you to not sell cars.
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.
