Can we agree now that the fallout from this has gotten ridiculous?

The problem with Bernie really wasn’t the message itself. Free college? A redistribution of wealth? Universal healthcare? All of those are perfectly fine things. The problem was that Bernie was talking about Step 4 while minorities in this country by and large are still on Step 1.

It’s not that his policies are bad or anything. I think most minority voters would be fine with his policies. The problem with Sanders, and a number of white progressives, is he seems to think that he doesn’t need to have policies that are specifically addressed to issues facing POC and other minorities, because his…

Students should come equipped with items that benefit the classroom community as a whole. Parents should be able and willing to contribute these items as well and not expect the district to pay for these items. These items should be on the supply lists, less the Wal-Mart and Amazon gift cards. My Wife is a teacher and…

Except the real value of mathematics is teaching rigorous application of logical critical thinking. If you still recall in your job as assistant regional manager of sales, ten years after high school geometry, how to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle, that’s great; what’s better is if you remember how to…

Not true. “Hacking” is using a computer to gain unauthorized access to data, like let’s say an email account. Doesn’t matter how you do it. If it’s unauthorized access to data then it’s a hack.

There is no way we should be paying interest on any accounts opened at a post office, it should be purely for people without other banking options to provide basic services to. Banks pay interest to encourage deposit balances so they can lend out more money, invest it, or just leave it at the Fed. The government…

If you extrapolate out renting vs owning for 30 years, renting is by far and away the winner until the home is paid off (and you have an asset you could sell). Most people don’t take into account that you nearly pay double the original cost of a home when you factor in the interest. Throw in property taxes and thirty…

In the 70s and 80s there were plenty of stories of idiot kids playing musical chairs, basically, while driving and getting out of the moving car and going on the roof and back in the car on the other side.

The only defense anyone has of Bernie Sanders is full of whataboutisms. “Buh-buh-buh Obama didn’t do anything about cash bail either! What about Hillary, remember she said super predators that one time, she isn’t talking about it, no one is talking about how bad she is!”

It actually kinda confirms a lot of theories about socialist structures.

It works both ways. You up and left your previous job likely putting strain on your previous employer and fellow co-workers. They had to bare that burden just because you decided to change jobs for more money. As a manager i’ve had top people leave to get a pay bump i couldn’t give them. They were happy but wanted…

The Democratic party is now the progressive party that welcomes immigrants

Lee Atwater was just the Tom Brady of Team Hate Party. Just like any star QB, he couldn’t have succeeded without a bunch of willing racists around him.  

“Taxes are inherently good...”

We got to 6 figures each within 6 years of graduation, my wife even faster.  Nothing special - marketing and IT.  No “C” level positions or anything.  I really don’t know how people DON’T do it.  I don’t feel like we worked all that hard to get here or got lucky.  

Maybe this is not a small thing, but...

I’m not talking about the next election, I’m talking about the last one. Looking at the stats, it’s entirely possible that enough of Trump’s base would have gone for an old white man who was preaching economic populism and was not associated with the culture wars, who had not been the target of decades of vilification…
