  • Democrats don't just fall for bullshit identity politics, they eagerly lavish being drowned in it. And all the comments in here prove it.

    It's the economy stupid.

    That phrase is just as true today, as it was some 30 years ago when it cost Bush Sr a second term. The worst part is that the economy isn't even bad, rather people have been pulled down by endless doom and gloom talk for the last 2 years about how the economy is just weeks away from collapsing. And with all that negative talk, Dems haven't bothered to ever go out there and counter it with positive messages. Shit, looking at the posts on Lemmy and the comments in here, these dipshits have been complicit in spreading that message.

  • Mostly bullshit because the ultimate goal of college isn't to make you term basic facts which you need to graduate, instead the ultimate goal is to teach you how and where to learn about new developments in your field or where to look up Information which you don't know or don't remember.

  • You make the infrastructure bill viral by first and foremost dressing it up. Don't call it simply an infrastructure bill. Call it Bidens infrastructure bill or some catchy name that reflected who was responsible.

    Obama didn't give the ACA its moniker "Obamacare" but there is no doubt who is the one who created it and proposed it. There is no way Republicans can take credit for it. And when Obama was president, his logo was on every imaginable bill and public works program. You would be reminded all the time who was responsible. Why aren't Dems doing that now? Why do they always hide their victories? Hire some popular YTers or TikTokers to sell your ideas to the masses. Go out there ans talk about things. For fucks sakes, every time you see a Republican on the news,chances are good that he will be both promoting what the GOP leadership are trying to oush through, but also poke jabs at Democrats. While on the flip side, if a news program acts for a Democrat to come onto their show, the Cemocratic leadership pick the most boring, socially awkward, and least charismatic person they can find. Or at least that's what it seems like. Damnit is it frustrating to see this shit time and time again.

  • Sell your goddamn economic accomplishments! Just the other day was another news story of how so many people are angry and feel lost because the Dems can't fucken communicate their wins. They aren't seeing this rosy economy, not because we have high inflation anymore, but because Dems are inept in relaying their victories to the public. This endless focus on meaningless issues is infuriating to average Joe's who are trying trying to get by.

  • Reading some of these replies in here are cringe as fuck. Not because I don't agree with the overall sentiment, but rather in the fact that you guys don't know what language to use. In essence, you don't know your audience. Speak in the language that your audience can relate to.

    When she says that her pay is dependent on the company performance, the reply isn't to talk about worker this and worker that. The correct reply to that is to point out that GM stock has been essentially flat for the last 4 years. Her job as CEO is to increase value for stockholders. Stockholders haven't seen a 40% increase in 4 years. So if shareholders haven't seen a 40% increase in that time, then how is she justifying her pay increase.

    And ultimately, her pay isn't determined by her. It's determined by the board of directors. And there lies the problem with all these out of control CEO salaries.... it doesn't cost anything for a director to increase some CEO's pay. It's not taken out of their pocket. It doesn't affect them directly in any way, so to them it's like monopoly money. You get a raise, and you get a raise and you get a raise. Every CEO gets a raise because the director that approves one CEO's pay might be the CEO of another company who's director is the other CEO who just got a raise. You scratch my back, and you scratch mine.

  • EDIT: I'm putting my edit at the top of the post because it's clear I'm dealing with people with rather limited comprehension. What you clowns fail to realize is that my post is a warning to the Democratic party because I, as a life long Democrat, see them as being utterly fucken lost in sharing their message for the future and in sharing their current successes to average Joe's. Here, let me spell it out to you: this is not a pro-Republican post. Fuck every last thing about the GOP. Clearly, you buffoons can't understand that concept. Yes, this administration has many successes, but what you are not understanding is that middle America doesn't know that. That's because Democrats are awful st reminding people what they've accomplished. They are terrible with communicating with people in terms of what their vision for the future is. Average Joe's don't follow the news all that closely. And they follow political news even less. They need to be endlessly reminded WHY Democrats are better for them, for their wallet, for the country and even the planet. There are accomplishments right now that Republicans fight tooth and nail to stop, and after they somehow got passed, those same Republicans went home and took credit for them. They did this with the infrastructure bill. How can they get away with that? Because Democrats don't advertise their successes. Just the other day was a doom and gloom article on how so many Americans think the economy is in the toilet, when it really isn't. The economy is legitimately good well, but perception is not because Democrats have lost the ability to send a message out to voters. The only time you see them on the news is when they are endlessly wasting time on nonsense social issues for groups that represent a few percentage points of the total population, all while the majority of folks are out there, looking around and wondering when are Democrats going to think about them. Clearly this is too complicated for some of you retards to understand.

    Hey Democrats, keep pushing that bullshit social agenda and blindly focusing on tiny fringe minority groups, instead of taking care of economic issues, and this won't be the last time a defection happens.

    There are a whole lot of people who don't see economic policies from the Dems and are sick and tired of seeing elected officials endlessly waste all their time and political capital on non-issues.

    Focusing on what the pronoun du jour is will end up handing Trump a second term.

  • Oh for fucks sakes.

    Jebus christ people will sue over anything and everything. Whoever has the deepest pockets has crosshairs put on them because they might just throw these people a bone instead of wasting their time in court.

    It's because of people like this that every little thing has a warning label on it.

  • white people are on the whole under qualified to understand

    This is complete false. If these type of positions even try to pretend to be anything other than a token gesture by the marketing department have some kind of training and certification and possibly even a degree behind them that quantifies whatever they are trying to teach. That means exams and reports and presentations. That means reading textbooks and doing research. So someone saying that the color of one's skin makes them innately better at taking a DEI-related exam and being a better DEI worker is about as racist as you can get.

    If someone said that the color of one's skin would dictate if they could solve a partial differential equation, or the sex organs they have between their legs determined whether they could design a 5 story building, then they'd be called sexists or racist. Claiming that a white person automagically can't be disadvantaged and/or can't be as good in a DEI curriculum or work position is incredibly racist.

  • Then said that race, gender, and whatever else don’t factor in to hiring decisions (as it should be).

    Then problem solved!

    The hiring process should be race-blind, so anything a DEI department does runs counter to being unbiased. If they a promoting one group over others, then that right there is racists or sexist, etc. Hire people on merit. Period.

  • Seems soooo much more complex than simply using regular noise canceling technology which we've had for ages now. In my previous company it was amazing how well it worked. You could be maybe 5 feet away from someone you could hear them perfectly fine, but move 10 feet away and everything was just muted down. One day we had some electrical problems and the system was down, and that's when you really could notice how well the system worked because you could hear people all the way from the other side of the building when before when the system was running those noises were totally gone.

  • AA did the exact opposite.

    It made race a deciding factor for a whole lot of college admission choices or job offers and such.

    It put race at the head of a decision that should be otherwise be decided by merit. When you decide things by merit, you end up favoring one race over another. These decisions should be race-blind. Pick the best damn candidate.

    When Obama was first elected, we had some talking about a post-race world. Great! So why the hell should we continue to discriminate against certain groups simply because of the color of their skin.
