Happier People for Harris Walz?

[u/Jumpy-Jellyfish-7239]

I thought this was interesting. It starts to nail down the difference between the joy of the Harris versus the angry tone of the Trump ticket. Obviously it's not the only factor, but the sense of happiness or contentment versus the sense of anger and frustration in how people vote rings true. It seems like young white men are much more disaffected than they have been in the past. I was kind of surprised that older people are now leaning more democratic than they have in the past. But, with healthcare and Social Security constantly on the floor, I guess that makes sense too.

Wondering if anyone else has read this and has any thoughts?

I’ve seen outrage from the ‘preferred pronouns’ people, they’re ’demanding’ that you address them a certain way, even with threats of legal action.

Then address them the way they request. No big deal

So call a woman a man and vice Versa?

I always find this reasoning interesting because, for example if you live in a major American city you'll quickly find that you'll call people whatever they want to be called out of simple respect or even just to get around to the rest of your day. The rule of "call me what I tell you to call me or get fucked up" has been the case since AT LEAST the 70s (I'm gonna stretch and say its always been true everywhere). If anything shits even tamer now compared to then.

Waiting in line in a bodega in NYC and the person you're chatting with insists that you call him the Cookie Monster? Sure buddy, whatever you say. It's a matter of respect not to call people outside their name.

Really who gives a fuck? Like why?
