we could use some more people with some experience under their belt while these new guys learn the ropes and earn ranking on their committees and whatnot.

You might be missing the fact that I’m a woman. I *can* work construction or other “heavy-lifting” jobs, but it would be a long fucking slog in work environments that aren’t woman-friendly from a social standpoint. Source: I’ve spent time on job sites.

The “Degree Required” path in the Game of Life (see Gen X, I get you) is virtually the only path.

we’re bitching we have $37k of student loan debt, and all for the privilege of being paid $12/hour.

and she was very young and rather naive, and believed herself to be genuinely in love with this charismatic, powerful man.

he could’ve recognized that he was in a position of power and kept his dick in his pants no matter if a pretty young intern was making goo-goo eyes at him?

There are probably a lot of non racists that didn’t want to see Gillum, a progressive and out loud socialist who also happens to be African-American, in office. They were turned off primarily by his ideas because they didn’t understand them. That doesn’t make them racist. Bernie is correct.

This is where I draw a distinction between prejudice and racism.

This is flat wrong and pretty damn offensive. White people who do not want to vote for a candidate because that candidate is black are racist. There’s no other way to explain that.

It’s a symptom rather than a cause kinda deal. Sorry, I know that’s not comforting. :(
