I have been told the fix is to stop talking about race. Surely if we don't talk about it, the grid will upgrade itself?

Man, he didn't mention the Crimean War of 1853 once.

You don't read good. Quotas are quite illegal. That's the disingenuous argument of someone who doesn't like having to answer why they thought the most qualified candidate was most qualified in had talked about.

Also, you responded this to a joke about not picking the guy throwing around random sovcit accusations? Man, you two deserve each other

Well, he's really qualified because of his podcasting. Actually, now that I think about it, that's a theme

I've been hiring in a male dominated field for a while, and realistically, in those scenarios, you're actually being asked to make sure you interview women at all, and if you go with a man, you need to be able to explain why the man was more qualified than the women you interviewed.

Anyone who has said they were forced to hire a woman, in my experience, has been disingenuous, and upset at the layer of accountability

Yes, because any American you meet is very unlikely to be a supporter of what's going on. Most people's votes don't really seem to matter in the electoral college system, and our legislative branch hasn't... Tried... In several decades. Which is to say, his majority vote came from a minority of the population.

That, and the minority that voted for him are so goddamn afraid of the world and everything in it that they don't leave their communities for anything.

There are lots of smaller points in this piece that I think miss the mark, but on the whole this is actually not a bad read on the problems in the DNC. Most notably that it's The party of the establishment.

It's written as though no one could ever agree with a progressive policy, and I think that makes the author only see the DNC as too progressive for many, and blind to the fact that it's not progressive enough for many others.

Largely, I think the DNC has become the party of status quo and Not-Trump, and clearly that isn't good enough
