    So why do young men feel more represented by right-wing idiots than the “left”? I see comments going “yass slay queens” but isn’t the fact half our young people are being radicalized by grifters like that sex trafficker Tate ring at least some alarm bells?

    Why are we celebrating that an increasing number of young people are voting for right-wing radicals because our politics just forgot about them as if it was some kind of vindication for women?

      True equity isn’t sexy and doesn’t motivate voters or sell ad space. It’s much easier to try and shine a light on the plights (real or otherwise) of as large a group as possible and pretend to be behind them. Politics and News are sales, not education.
