    Why did you quote my same quote twice

    This is obviously very important to you
    As part of a larger thing.


    Yep, ESPN idiocy hurts.

    over the last half-decade, Netflix has surged from 25m to 50m subscribers. By contrast, ESPN has dropped from around 100m households to an estimated 87m, costing the company an estimated $1.08bn a year. Those losses come as ESPN is spending more than $8bn a year for the rights to the NFL ($1.9bn), NBA ($1.4bn), and other sports, deals that run through the early 2020s.


    When Disney CEO Bob Iger admitted during a 2015 earnings call that ESPN had seen “some modest sub[scriber] losses” and that the company’s profit growth would slow, Disney shares fell nearly 10% the next day

    “ESPN can’t just make money by showing up anymore,” Deitsch said. “It’s never going to be 1998 again. That said, anybody who thinks they are going out of business tomorrow is insane. One day, they may be a 3,000-person company as opposed to 8,000 people. But that’s still a powerhouse.”

    The lowered viewership has more to do with people cutting cable than anything. We can pretend it’s politics though. Most people watch streaming services now instead of cable
    I suspect it will come back some as we get more options for unplugging from cable. I just did it at the lakehouse with youtubeTV, netfix, amazon, and hbo/showtime through amazon. Still get ESPN through youtubeTV.

    They could have just kept preaching equality and would have kept fooling a large segment. But once they went full anti-White and specifically male.

    Cliffs: Democrats allowed themselves to get hijacked by self-hating Whites and Black supremacist. There are Hispanics here in California that align with them in many ways - but - they aren't atheist or in bed with this 38 genders stuff. So Hispanic demographic is a wash.

    As for ESPN specifically

    Force feeding NBA and NFL coverage. Being minority sports is one thing, being full of uppity arrogant blacks is a whole nother matter

    Here's the poll...



    Pretty safe to assume Dems would love to see those percentages voting like that, tbh... IOW, opinion piece about a nothingburger.

    Still refreshing to see that although it took white Americans longer for the light bulb to come on (credit more & heavier propaganda), the white youth in North America is increasingly conservative like in Europe. By your mid 30s you have to be made if you arent dating/raising a minority but still voting left.

    About 1/3 of US voters change allegiance throughout their life, tbh, those end up being the people that determine elections... so you gotta take temporal snapshots for what they are. Frankly, the power swings between democrats and republicans have been fairly steady in the past few decades.

    And what you point out, iden y politics, is what supposedly white voters hate, so I would suspect you're way off in your assumption of who votes what based on age.

    I would say that the biggest challenge for conservatives going forward is refraining from bringing up social conservative policies. It's clear that sticking with a socially liberal like Trump has revitalized the party, tbh, and trying to crowbar things like religion or abortion mandated by government is one way to drive people off to the Dems again.

    For the Democrats, they just have to bid their time. They just ran the Executive for 8 years, had control of Congress about 10 years ago. In bency has a cost that eventually will flip to the GOP. And then we swing again. That's a healthy democracy at work.

    That is true.

    Republicans will continue moving left on social issues like you point out. It is the only way to balance out the iden y politics which might be counter productive today but based on birth rates, sexuality/interracial marriage in White community, and immigration from Europe/Canada/Australia versus the World - it will increasingly ring people in

    On the flip side of the coin Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot by fighting over for example the 2nd amendment. I think an individual is more likely
    to vote out of fear of losing their gun than vote hoping to end gun ownership. There is an overlap of non conservatives that own fireams.

    Considering the SCOTUS composition going forward, the 2nd Amendment is safe and sound for a good while.

    not only that, but some gun assholes (financed by BigGun, 2nd Amendment perverts) will push a case to SCOTUS so that Feds block/preempt ALL state/municipal gun regs
