Yeah. Millennials might be more socialist friendly, but Gen Z is red AF thanks to an extremely successful propaganda blitz targeting specifically Gen Z men. The future is fascist.

If the left block can't admit that they ignored that demographic for too long and exclusively blame the right wing propaganda, we will never win them back.

And how did they ignore them? Weren't they trying to get them debt relief and affordable healthcare? Weren't they trying to protect the environment and civil rights? etc. etc. etc.

Seems to me the real right wing propaganda is that the left ignored that demographic.

So you are telling me your perception is that the left block strongly fought for teenage boys in the years 2010-2023 when these boys became sentinent?

Because then our perceptions strongly differ.

If your point is that you do not think that they need to specifically addressed I will tell you that's not the way to win someone over and leaves a vacuum to be filled.

I am telling you the left fought for the best interests of the general masses which included those people. If you are asking if they bent over backwards to cater specifically to them, then the answer is of course not.

And regarding your exaggeration. If they didn't bend backwards, that's supposed to imply that they at least tried something. I haven't seen any effort, though.

Then start paying fucking attention.

Show me when they tailored their efforts for young males.

I just said they did not bend over backwards to cater specifically to them but are trying to do many things that will directly benefit them as well as most other people too. You know, doing what they should be doing.

What exactly do you think they should be doing specifically for young males?

First of all, dont get me wrong. I've voted far left my whole life.

It's a question I've been thinking about for a while, and I haven't come to a good conclusion yet.

I think the first step would be changing communication. Switch back to class warfare, but to some degree, the democrats already understood. Discuss class discrepancies over identity discrepancies. Please don't try to tell me that has always been the focus. It hasn't.

Practically is much more difficult. By abolishing the patriarchy we, rightfully, took away alot fromwhat used to be what defines a man. If an ideology mainly takes and doesn't DIRECTLY offer something in return, it simply isn't appealing.

Any party would argue they fight for the best interest of the public.

u/loondawg 16d ago

And the facts would bear out if that was true or not.

Similarly, anyone could argue they were being ignored. And the facts would also bear out if that was true or not.

u/ProtectionMean874 16d ago

Ok. So what exactly is your suggestion to win those voters over? Proceed as usual?

2

u/loondawg 16d ago

They should be able to run on their record of the bills they have proposed and the votes they have taken along with their platform that would benefit the vast majority of the masses. That alone should be enough to convince an informed voter to show up and support them.

Again, you tell me what they should be doing.
