My great-grandfather was by all accounts a fun-loving weirdo who's favorite pastimes were doting on his grandchildren and drinking beer with his bros so I'm gonna guess that he'd throw up a :frogout: if he coulda.

He's just a kid who watched a bunch of his classmates get gunned down, I think it's more than reasonable for him to lean away from wanting to see everyone walking around armed.

Emma Gonzalez is probably a communist by now if she wasn’t yet back then, which is definitely why she wasn’t given 1/10 of the platform Hogg was and why it was immediately yanked away.

are there any quantitive analyses of military recruitment tendencies by race and income level? I’m curious how accurate the prevailing mythology is re: the military as a path to prosperity in that a large proportion of non-officer recruits come from underserved demographics

my gut instinct is that it would be a bare plurality at best but I’m sure someone has looked into this

Poor white people, predominantly favoring rural towns/cities over bigger urban areas. Also poor people of other colors tending to come from more urban areas. I think the key is that it's people poor enough to have trouble funding college or trade school out of pocket. I'm sure it's no coincidence that this is part of why Republicans and Democrats alike are loathe to implement M4A and universal tuition/fee free tertiary education. It would clamp down on the "volunteer" pipeline to the military.

edit: this is not a proper quantitative analysis lol

people point to a Heritage foundation study to prove the US military is mostly middle class. Mostly because the key takeaway of the report is "Members of America's volunteer Army are not enlisting because they have no other economic opportunities."
https://www.heritage.org/defense/report/who-serves-the-us-military-the-demographics-enlisted-troops-and-officers

I'm not sure why they trust the Heritage foundation but whatever.

I think it's sort of more interesting to look at how oppressed groups in the US are overrepresented in the military. In the military colonies like Guam you get huge numbers of people from there signing up compared to the rest of the US. Also how jobs are distributed within the military. Like, white men aren't the ones being found dead in ditches outside Ft. Hood.

For comparison, the US Census estimates that "white alone" is 76% of the total population of the US

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/09/10/the-changing-profile-of-the-u-s-military/

Saying that the military is the only way out of poverty in the US is dumb, but most people in the US still think the military are good guys who make sacrifices for the rest of us. The number of working people who sign up knowing they are killing people for healthcare is pretty slim.

Also plenty of veterans are still poor, so it's not even an escape from poverty,

At this point Biden isn't even a candidate anymore, he's a blank slate on which all of the things that any individual Biden Bro thinks are good are the things Biden also thinks are good and will do and in fact the only reason the good things aren't happening is because of Trump and McConnell are standing heartlessly in the way.

Biden could stand in the middle of fifth avenue and price a million people out of health insurance coverage and he wouldn't lose any voters.

Democratic voters do as well just making the candidate fit what they want, the spefic person doesn’t matter anymore
