    This kinda happened to me at a workplace.

    I tried to negotiate my salary when I began and they said they don’t negotiate salaries because people of color and women are disproportionately less likely to negotiate than White men who benefit from the practice. And I’m like, but… I’m a person of color?? They wouldn’t hear any of it. One of the worst jobs I’ve ever had.

    If David Hogg is too far to the left for the democrats then there really is no hope for the party, not even the remote possibility of reform

    They can’t stand for anything, not even the watered down lib shit like gun control

      Republicans should be thanking their lucky stars the only people who disagree with them are the Republican Party’s moderate wing. I never want to hear chuds even whine about anything, not even non-political stuff. They are the most spoiled, undeservedly lucky demographic in human history.

      And somehow even democrats are commandist ultras in amerikkka

    The democrat party cannot be reformed. It must be destroyed. As soon as libs realize the middle class isn’t even being served by these antidemocratic ghouls, maybe we can have a real third party. I don’t care if it’s greens DSA or PSL (of course, PSL all the way) but as it stands the Dems are a death knell to progress

      Why even bother with primaries? Just give every nomination to the most senior candidate who isn’t vetoed by someone more senior. And then before the general elections, the most senior members of both parties can meet and pick which voters they want.

          Dont you dare impugn Jimmy Carter! He is the reason the Democratic Party rigged their primary, so they could ensure a well-intentioned idiot could never slipped through the system again!

            I don’t know the history of our the-democrat and the-republican emotes if that’s what you’re referring to but they’re supposed to represent the generic Democrat and Republican
