Thank you Justin for having me as a guest! The gender gap is an endlessly fascinating concept and a key to this election and politics going forward.

Great interview and I really appreciate the work you are doing. Especially the thought of the possibility of Kamala having an “only Nixon can go to China” moment by her being able to talk about men’s health and issues. I don’t know how likely that would be but it would be very good in my eyes.

Thank you -- I think it's been tough for Harris to 1. Change a mindset that has been ingrained in her, and 2. Run a presidential campaign in 3 months. But yes, I agree, she would have been in a unique position to make the points but didn't do so.

ANOTHER SMASHING EPISODE

I get where Taylor is coming from, but it's not because she's a woman. It's because she's on the internet. I did wonder about projection... how much was observation, how much was confession, and was it more a bit of both.

It’s very much because I’m a woman, the smears and harassment is deeply misogynistic and gendered. As I’ve written, women and marginalized people have a radically different experience online.

I won't pretend to know the hearts and minds on the other side of the keyboard. I do know that some people are self-admitidly assholes, and trolling. How you troll a woman is different than how you troll a man. And woman or man, how you troll one ethnicity is different than another.

I hope it goes better for you in the future. And while I disagree with you on many things, I hope you'll be back as a guest as I still enjoyed the segment.

in the era of Trump is ticket splitting a more relevant issue? I thought the common belief was Republicans elected Biden and even more Trump to Harris are expected in 2024. If that is true then we need a metric for how many Republicans need to vote Harris in each swing state for Trump to lose that state.

Pennsylvania is a closed primary state, almost certainly a ton of Independents are registered as democrats for the primaries. Your theory of all swing states going the same way has a lot truth in Pennsylvania if the polls are even close to being true.

So USPS has Ballot Policy for day of and day before ballots. In fact we have already started turning over ballots every day to be brought directly to where they need to go
