  • (very obviously, but people keep covering this like it’s a real thing so…)

    You get 100% or even like, 60% of women in on this, yeah. Things will change real quick. I’d hope for the better.

    If you get like 5-10% of liberal women doing this, which is by far the most that I’d believe, what’s going to happen is the corresponding 5-10% of men get sexually frustrated. Then they’ll go online and get caught up in all the incel->alt-right pipelines that already exist today, and men will swing further right.

    If we want a movement like this to work it needs to 1. Not punish people who are already on our side and 2. Provide a better pipeline than the alt-right already has for channeling sexual frustration into action.

    So cool, interesting idea, I wish it was workable but remember that a majority of women who voted voted for Trump. Even if men didn’t exist he would have won.




  • I live in a deep red state. Not a swing state. Not a questionable state. A state where registered red voters outnumber blue voters 2-1.

    I’m not saying that this applies to everyone but even if blue had an excellent turnout including me and reds had a bad turnout, it would still be a red win with a ratio 3-2.

    I’m not voting not because I don’t care, not because I don’t think it’s the right thing to do, not for some moral high ground, but because it actually doesn’t matter. I am disenfranchised, I accept it, I make the best decisions I can knowing that.

    I’m sure some will still tell me I’m wrong but I’m going to focus on my own interests and mental health.

    If you are in a swing state, please vote. If not for yourself, for me. I’ll consider it a favor.

    (I have good reasons for living here. If you tell me I should move then why don’t you move to a swing state?)
