40. Not sure of the institutional response, but you are right

about the de facto importation of "cheap labor:" It kicks the slats out of mens' wages and job opportunities. Settle the immigration questions equitably, and men will look more favorably at the Democratic Party, or see a point in voting at all.

Top five ways to bring men back to the party [View all] lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 OP

It's a weird thing Inkfreak Apr 2014 #1

Given the alternatives, I prefer dealing with the consequences of telling the truth. n/t lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #2

I enjoy your posts. Always read em. Inkfreak Apr 2014 #3

Thanks lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #7

i don't think your post was good at all CreekDog Apr 2014 #12

You don't have to screw over every other goup in the country to court the white male vote. nt rrneck Apr 2014 #16

Hear hear. nt rrneck Apr 2014 #5

Agreed. And one issue to lose: Gun control. Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #39

I can get behind some of these more than others. rrneck Apr 2014 #4

This is primarily a political manifesto, not a policy one. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #6

Not sure of the institutional response, but you are right Eleanors38 Apr 2014 #40

I'm not so sure. westerebus Apr 2014 #8

The unspoken presumption here is that men are not motivated by self interest. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #9

It is strange. westerebus Apr 2014 #10

black men haven't left the Democratic party at all, what are you talking about? CreekDog Apr 2014 #11

Actually the disparity is greater for those groups Major Nikon Apr 2014 #13

so what CreekDog Apr 2014 #14

You seem to think it's a zero sum game Major Nikon Apr 2014 #15

you're changing the subject, if you're not going to stick with the point you made CreekDog Apr 2014 #17

Turning a thread about male voters into a thread about minority voters isn't changing the subject? Major Nikon Apr 2014 #18

you'd rather just talk about white voters? CreekDog Apr 2014 #19

I'd rather talk about male voters Major Nikon Apr 2014 #23

Consciously conceding the votes of the majority of voters is bad strategy. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #24

then why are you doing it? CreekDog Apr 2014 #26

I'm doing no such thing. Period. n/t lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #27

What do you think happens to the created White House offices Boom Sound 416 Apr 2014 #20

All the more reason that Republicans should not win. n/t lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #21

so you'd support creation of an office of women and girls? CreekDog Apr 2014 #22

I don't have to support it, it's already there. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #28

so you don't support it, but you want one for men and boys created anyway CreekDog Apr 2014 #30

I wouldn't fully support either without the other. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #32

Granted. Boom Sound 416 Apr 2014 #25

The next Republican president won't eliminate the office of women and girls. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #29

That's fair Boom Sound 416 Apr 2014 #31

And I'd like to add that if a Republican does come along next year and screw it up... lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #33

There may never be another Republican president Major Nikon Apr 2014 #34

the majority of voters are women CreekDog Apr 2014 #35

Married women vote like their husbands. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #36

you're saying that when your wife chooses a candidate you don't just go along with that? CreekDog Apr 2014 #37

51% of married women voted for Romney. 61% of single women voted for Obama. lumberjack_jeff Apr 2014 #38

Jobs, jobs, jobs, reforming immigration laws and jobs. bettyellen May 2014 #41

Number two is just so spot-on. No place is more discriminatory than the typical family court. n/t Darkhawk32 May 2014 #42

Thanks. n/t lumberjack_jeff May 2014 #43
