It's all too much. The Democratic party wants to be a big tent party, the party of all. That's just not possible. Every group wants the party to prioritize their issues. Blacks and whites, straight people and gay people, men and women, young and old, religious people and atheists, owners and workers, cops and criminals, leftists, moderates, and conservatives, etc, etc, etc. We can't give everyone what they want.

I'm sorry, I really am, but we can't make everyone happy. Especially since a lot of these groups do not like each other. Look, it would be great if all these different groups could come together in one big rainbow coalition of peace, join hands and sing Kumbaya but it ain't gonna fucking happen. Stop trying to please and appease all these people and instead try to materially improve the lives of as many people as possible.

Stop trying to achieve perfect justice for every identity group and just focus on making housing more fucking affordable for as many people as possible, and healthcare, and a decent education, and so forth.

How exactly can a political party address what is for men essentially a collection of toxic culture issues?

I don't necessarily know, and neither does the Democratic party, which is at least part of the reason why Trump just got reelected.

I can see why some young men might feel like the Democratic party is prioritizing women's issues over those affecting men, especially young men. In fact, it might seem like the Democratic party is not only indifferent to struggling young men, but hostile to them. I can understand why someone might not want to vote for a party that thinks of them as deplorable, pathetic losers.

But this poll indicates that voters were asked specifically which presidential candidate they voted for. They could have lied, but I'm not sure why they would.

The only explanation I can think of is many more men than women voted early/absentee, enough to more than overcome the higher turnout of women than men on election day. Either that or these exist polls just aren't very indicative.

I can see how that might happen if there were more groups or options, but this is relatively straight forward. There are two possible choices for gender: male or female, and each of the two candidates won their respective gender by 54% to 44%. Since these exit polls indicate that more women voted than men, I don't see how this could result in Harris not winning more votes overall.

Well, the only thing we can do now is hope it won't be as bad as we all fear it could be. That and try to come up with a plan in case our worst fears are realized.

I think the rest of the world needs to start isolating the US. The US has too much power and poor leadership. Other countries need to find ways to reduce their exposure to and reliance on the US. I think the best way to do that is for the world to come together and create an independent global reserve currency. As long as the dollar is the world currency, the US will have all the power.

I see. Well, since that's the case, I can see why they haven't made their games available on other platforms.

Personally, I haven't purchased a Nintendo game in more than a decade. I would consider buying Nintendo games if I could play them on other hardware, but I'm not going to purchase a switch just to play Nintendo first party titles. But I suppose Nintendo does well enough without consumers like me.

If Nintendo makes a profit on their hardware then, yes, I could see why they wouldn't want to do what I'm suggesting. However, if they are only breaking even on the hardware, or losing money, then selling less hardware would be a good thing.

I'm not talking about touchscreen only android devices (although there are a number of controllers that can turn an android phone or tablet into a handheld gaming device). I'm talking about Android based, handled gaming devices like the Ayn Odin series or the Ayaneo Pocket S or up coming Pocket Evo. All of these have faster hardware than the switch, with physical controls and active cooling.

If I were Nintendo, I would release my own game launcher and store app for Android, in addition to the switch. That way, consumers could play first party Nintendo titles on other hardware, if they so desired. There are a fair number of android based handhelds out there, and more being released all the time. Many if not most of them are more powerful than the switch. Plus, an android device can play other games that otherwise wouldn't necessarily be available on the switch, giving consumers more options and flexibility. This would also potentially help Nintendo save money by not having to manufacture as much of their own hardware. I really think game companies are going to move away from making their own hardware, as it's really not necessary anymore.

It's so idiotic to cast doubt on the legitimacy of the electoral system when there is still a chance that he might win. If you convince people the vote is rigged, and then you win, won't that mean that you won by cheating? I know his supporters don't care, either because they lack the critical thinking skills to understand how this is illogical, or they don't care if Trump wins by cheating, but it's just so god damn frustrating.

It's a choice between a potentially extremely harmful oligarchy and a hopefully much less harmful oligarchy. I think kind oligarchs are better than cruel ones. Sure, no oligarchs would be best, but that's not one of our options. You gotta make the best choice of the ones you are given. That's why I voted for Harris/Walz: they're better than the only other alternative.
