  • I didn’t disagree with Harris’s flaws. But I think you might exist in a bubble, there are a lot of dumb people in the world. I consider you very lucky if you haven’t met a significant number of people who voted purely based on sex.

    Do I think they’re the majority? Definitely not. But the number of people who don’t think about Palestine even a little bit is a lot higher than you think. So is the number who think “A woman can’t be president, she’ll be too emotional and other world leaders will walk all over us”. Like I said, there are a lot of dumb people in the world. Ignoring them doesn’t make them go away.



  • You say that, but I personally know people who voted for Trump over Harris specifically because she was a woman. I personally know people who voted for Trump over Clinton for the exact same reason.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m fine with AOC myself and would vote for her, but to pretend that it’s a “non-issue” assumes that the average person doesn’t care. Many people do actually care, and ignoring the existence of those people is poor strategy. Maybe I’m overestimating the number of people who care, maybe not, but it is unfortunately a real concern that won’t magically go away by pretending people, as a whole, are more enlightened than that.














  • Eh, a big part of GameStop’s recent strategy has been getting into collectibles trading. eBay is one of, if not the, biggest market for collectibles, and they own TCGPlayer. That said, counterfeits and other fraud is a problem on eBay. One of the proposals is to use GameStop stores as authentication hubs, so listings can be verified.

    Additionally, eBay spends a lot, arguably way too much, on marketing, not to mention bloated upper level compensation packages. Then there’s the friction of the service itself, like seller caps (ostensibly to combat fraud, but a bit overzealous).

    I think there’s far too much potential for improvement to call the claim “delusional”.
