Politico is the worst. I would literally read Fox News over them
They are an aggregator. Some of the shit they post is legit, some isn’t. Their in-house shit is kind of 50/50 depending on who writes what. But it still often smells like clickbait. And as they used to say if it walks like a duck or whatever…
TLDR - teaspoon of salt and hefty skepticism required.

Communists fear that the director of 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is going to cause a paradigm shift with his new cinematic masterpiece Reagan. One that will bring this nation back under control of true patriots.

If I was Tester and in a close race, I'd be sitting on oppo until a few weeks out. Then just hammer away.
I think when you’re re in a down ticket race in a presidential year you have to strike when there is a big enough news vacuum that it can be the biggest story in the state. Waiting until after the debate risks another big presidential story that will limit its exposure
Just Elon thinking high testosterone males should be the only ones allowed a voice in society. More hints that real conservatism is dead and being replaced by full-on authoritarianism. This is what they really want. To kill democracy because they think it has made us into a weak society through equality.

It's all them - JD Vance, Josh Hawley, Musk, etc. Like these are people who I wouldn't want teaching my sons to be men. It's all fake alpha male bullshit that spreads online. Like I'd be willing to bet 70% of the youths spouting those types of beliefs haven't ever gotten laid before and think pretending to be a He Man dude helps their wormy asses to fit in.

I agree with all of this, but also, we as a society are not taking the right-wing indoctrination of young men seriously enough or doing enough to combat it. I'm not talking about the Elons of the world - polls are showing that Gen Z and Gen Alpha men are skewing more conservative than men of previous generations at their respective ages, and I feel like pointing at all that and calling the kids who fall for it loser incels is going to net out really badly in the long run.

I agree but I don't even know where you would start combatting it.

Walz talks about this a bit in his interview with with Ezra Klein. I can't recall precisely how he put it but the general notion was that the (good!) shift in conversation around #metoo and toxic masculinity and such has often left young men feeling lost, ashamed, etc, and pre-emptively blamed or labeled as bad, even when they've done nothing wrong, and that leaves them susceptible to bad actors. I did find this article which I think captures a fair bit of that sentiment: aibm.org/commentary/lets-stop-telling-teen-boys-they-are-toxic/
What do we do about it? To one degree or another I do think we sometimes need to find a better, more nuanced way to talk about issues. Part of that could come in the form of, I dunno, school assemblies/discussions, a la sex ed. A big part of it is also likely that these conversations also confuse so many older parents who don't know how to talk to their kids about it, and hopefully over time that'll balance out. It definitely doesn't strike me as helpful that kids are increasingly connected online vs in person. Who knows. I certainly don't, but might as well toss out some ideas.

If it is in fact true that young men of those generations are skewing more conservative than previous generations, it's really not that hard to believe, in particular if these shifts are from cisgender, straight males. It's easy to tap into the belief that changing gender hierarchies comes at the expense of straight white men losing their advantages over everyone else.

I agree with a lot of this. I think part of the problem, too, is that, for young men, engaging with progressive ideas around gender, feminism, race, etc., sometimes requires a degree of self-abnegation, or at the very least the willingness and ability to put someone different from you's needs and perspectives before your own. It takes work, self-reflection, and a degree of mastery over the kind of knee-jerk reaction that makes you want to say, "Not all men!" when you hear people talking about how shitty men are or can be. It's good work for anybody to do...but it's still work. And it's work you sometimes have to do on your own, because women, people of color, etc., will (rightfully!) say it's not their job to teach you this stuff, and because there really isn't a movement of mentorship among progressives that targets those kids and speaks to their POV.
Meanwhile, there's the other side, telling you every base feeling you have is right and good and every problem or bad feeling you have is someone else's fault...and they VERY MUCH consider it their job to teach you all about it. It's easy, because it plays on the default human solipsism that is in overdrive in adolescence.
One of the great things I've seen mentioned about Walz and, to a lesser degree, Emhoff, is that they're putting a spotlight on a different kind of masculinity. If Harris does get elected, somebody should put a bug in Walz's ear about starting some sort of organized "Save the Young Straight Males" movement on a national/social media level, so people much more qualified to discuss and engage with this stuff than me can figure out how to start to undo all this shit.
EDITED TO ADD: And your point about kids being increasingly online is spot-on...but that's the battleground, now. That's where the right-wingers are finding and indoctrinating them. So, it'd seem to me, in my non-expert opinion, that that'd have to be where anyone hoping to turn this sort of tide would have to focus a lot of their effort and energy.
All in with Chris Hays had a pretty good segment on where the campaigns are advertising. Harris Walz dominated in most of the swing states except NC, GA and PA where it was about the same. He did a feature on Trumps campaign putting all of their efforts into one path - hold onto North Carolina and flip Georgia and Pennsylvania and it’s 270-268 Trump. As the race stands now those states are close even though you could see a situation where Harris won popular vote by 5+ million. Fuck that stupid shit.
What I find interesting, in the last 30 pages of the 277 page indictment, it goes into details about Russia’s pro-Zionist, Pro-Israeli govt propaganda campaign…

This applies to ALL cis men, not just those younger than 30 or whatever is considered young.

Is this really any different than previous generations of cis men? I recall this being said of millennial cis men when we were reaching voting age in the 00's. The enthusiasm behind the Harris/Walz ticket is on par with what I saw with Obama/Biden in 2008 back when I lived in FL.
Ultimately what matters is who actually turns up to a polling place to cast a ballot come November 5th (or for those of us lucky enough, submit the ballot thats mailed to us weeks in advance via mail or dropbox). I don't think the Kick stream watching he-man-woman-hater demographic are fervent and numerous enough to make a dent in this contest.
