I read a Reddit (through RDX mind you) post the other day that included the Who we serve page from the democrats’ website. The user noted that men were not on that list and pointed it out as on of the reasons Kamala Harris had lost. Meaning the Democratic Party should pander to the white young men demographic as well.

I keep seeing this sentiment over and over again on social media. And I can’t help but make the analogy to the “All lives matter.” as opposed to “Black Lives matter.” Am I wrong to think this? I am not from the United States. Please don’t bite my head off as this is no stupid questions.

    The USA was founded by racists, religious fanatics and the USA has never truly distanced itself from that. Fascism has always been the American way and now Americans are done pretending otherwise

      Not wrong but not nuanced enough. Many Americans also believe in the ideas embodied in the Constitution and bill of rights. Many voted for the candidate who more strongly embodied those values. Just because the vote system is winner take all doesn’t mean that there aren’t Americans who are upset with this outcome.
