You're right. I do tend to agree with that line of thinking, but it's difficult to afford someone like Riley Gaines any consideration when her purpose is currently to make marginalized people more miserable. That said, I do think you're right and I am wrong.

But, we can talk about the stupid things that she's doing.

Probably just looking for her 15 minutes.

Are we talking about her natural physical appearance, or the way she has chosen to present herself? If a woman dyes her hair blond to look more like a bimbo in order to get a job on Fox News or as press secretary, is it OK to comment on that? Sometimes I'd like to see Elissa Slotkin make more of an effort to look less homely. She wore some makeup last night, but she usually doesn't or only goes with something very light. That's a choice on her part. She is communicating something with that choice. Note that I don't care at all personally, and I respect or even applaud her choice. It's just that I think it affects her electability, which is bad if she's the one to hold down a key Senate seat in a swing state.

I confess to being lookist for two people. When I see Sarah Sanders, I see someone who looks like a pig. It's not noble, but it's always my impression. Second, when I see Lauren Boebert, I see a woman who likes to suck dicks. Everything about her face screams, to me, "I give blowjobs willingly and often." That's even less noble, to the point of being downright dishonorable, but it's my genuine reaction. I would never let it influence my opinion of her -- or so I say, but I have no opportunity to test the thesis because my opinion of her is already much lower than that.

I do understand. Normally it's people like Sanders and how she treats people that make me want to make negative comments about every aspect of her.

Boebert reminds me of the girl that introduced me to my wife. Not sure if I ever told that story around here.

I would be willing to let her prove your theory. I bet that she is an expert at some things that men really enjoy.

Overall, though, I know how hard it can be to not be the best-looking person. I'm just glad that my wife is blind. 😁
 
To be fair, Sanders has recently lost a lot of weight (you guys don’t watch Fox). Granted, it’s probably Ozempic weight loss..but still. I’m not saying she’s a super model but she is less pig - like.

That's good for her. I hope it improves her health and disposition.

Being fat is tough. I know.

lol i hope i never get on supers bad side. oh, wait...
 
Democrats are in the period Republicans were in about 2011-2015....no leader and a period of transition. There's no face. No key "who do we listen to now?" person. Sadly for the GOP, that void got filled by a con man. Someone will step up for the left/center-left. But it's just a cycle. Honestly, it was already there when Obama left but Biden kind of bridged it, though no one was ever inspired by him in the last 10 years.
 

“A plurality of voters — 40 percent — said the Democratic Party doesn’t have any strategy whatsoever for responding to Trump, according to the survey by the liberal firm Blueprint that was shared first with POLITICO. Another 24 percent said Democrats have a game plan, but it’s a bad one.

A paltry 10 percent said that the party has a solid technique for dealing with Trump. And that’s coming from a Democratic outfit’s survey.“

From my read, a huge percentage of this is explained by a void at the top. Dems are wandering the desert, and no one internal is coming to save them.

This is a problem across the developed world and is not limited to politics.

'Gen X has had to learn or die': Mid-career workers are facing ageism in the job market

Gen X workers are being passed over for roles of all kinds, especially as employers see young people as more malleable. The timing couldn't be worse.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

Gen Xers, largely defined as people in the 44-to-59 age group, are struggling to get jobs. First, the leadership roles they would normally ascend to aren't open, as many Boomers are delaying retirement and clinging to their jobs. But when roles have opened, ageism is a key factor: the accelerated pace of technological advancements has led managers to prioritise digital natives for open roles, believing they are more adaptable than Gen Xers – even though experts say these judgments are unfounded, if not entirely false.
 
Not sure what they should do in the farrago of this administration. I lean to the views of Napoleon. "Never interrupt the enemy when they are making a mistake." Trump has clearly overrun his mandate and is sowing confusion with everything he does and says. Nothing the Democrats can do will change or stop this cold. When they run out of momentum, then we can see what battle we have and what ammo they've gifted us.

The biggest thing is establishing a credible public forum and using it to push the differences between who actually benefits. By then, there's going to be a few more disaffected to listen.

My issue with this strategy is that Dems need some sort of cohesive, unifying message. Call it an ideology maybe? lol

We live in a national media environment, so Democrats need to be actively seeding the ground for these arguments down the road. Everything is so muddy right now. What do they stand for? Jeffries and Schumer are not leaders.
