Been mostly hanging out on The Salad Bowl and Groupthink when I’m online, spending a lot of time prepping for my Comps.

Yeah, I’m not sure I’d call that indifference so much as efficiency and quick thinking.

“potentially, the idea of watching white people squeamishly articulate their privilege is sufficient entertainment in itself.”

I had a great discussion about this with my college students! You can claim there are white slurs all day long, but they’re not *truly* hurtful the way they are when they’re leveled at a minority. We went through each student and asked him or her to articulate what was most important to their identity.

The Kumbaya-post racial BS that was fed to children in the 90’s/2000’s has come to bite us in the butt because you have this generation of white millenials who cannot engage critically around race and white privilege. I think it may do some viewers around the country some good to see other young white people talk…

Hamm Sandy is the best relationship name ever

I have been saying this for months now and no one believes me. She is getting flammed for things everyone does, including the beloved Bernie, and frankly, I think it’s incredibly sexist. Not to mention self defeating. If the super liberal dems (of which I am one) destroy her and she wins the primary, the repubs just…

Weird-ass glitches do happen and it’s usually NBD.

This is actually a really great idea, you should pitch it to EGR or Merlan. Email them. It’s right in their wheelhouse and will allow both to impress us with their variants on GOP candidate hating literally everyone.

And yet Kinja is working.....

this is one of my biggest fears. alien invasion is bigger but i think hostile robot takeover is up there.

I often wonder if people have read entire threads. I’d say it’s day of 6/10 and next day? Way the hell down to 1/10. There are literally a dozen people on this thread explaining how interns have worked on every campaign this way for a very long time and yet, here we have the ONE person with the SOLUTION!

Oh yeah, I’m aware. I’m not expecting to waltz right in and have anything handed to me. I do know people who can and would help me, and I still know it won’t be lucrative or glamorous.

That’s completely true but it’s not just Hillary that does this. All politicians have. I worked on the Obama campaign and I had 14 (yes 14!) unpaid “Organizing Fellows” working 80- hour weeks under me. I think this actually reflects wel on Hillary (who I don’t like and won’t be voting for) that she’s the first to…

Right! No one pays political interns! It’s a shitty system for sure, but I don’t understand why the scrutiny is so intense on Hillary and not every other candidate on earth.

This entire election is making me feel so fucking tired and so fucking old

“I am tired of the bitching and moaning from people who’ve done shit all the past 7 years a democrat has been in the White House to find the next person and are now pissed as fuck the establishment is backing Hillary.”

This is exactly how I got into UK politics, I did one campaign for zero (travel expenses) then got a job centrally organising. It’s pretty standard in all countries.

The under reported story of Obama shifting OT rules is how its going to alter low level campaign staff, which prior to the change were paid just enough to pro-rate above the 23,000 or so exemption limit.
