Then make the message “elect Dems and we WILL do this

Biden doesn’t control the media, and the media will not promote that message.

if the Brits and French can do it in a few months, so can we.

You realize that the UK and France are entirely different countries with an entirely different system of government and voting, right? What the hell?

How refreshing would it be to have someone

Sure, the time to make that argument was a year ago. Now, it’s just fucking up the Democrats. That’s the only reason this is even a thing.

Joe voter in Pennsylvania will absolutely not vote for “insert Dem here”.

Disrupting the Democratic campaign is a right wing strategem.

Bullshit. If you actually loved Biden’s cabinet and his team, and if you actually believed that his cognitive ability was in decline, you’d tell us to vote for him and then have him step aside AFTER the election, so the EXTREMELY WELL-ESTABLISHED PROCESS of taking over from an incapacitated POTUS can begin.

So unless your work load is light enough to where you don’t care about wasting 1 hour like that, I don’t get it.

Exactly. At my company, the only people with the time to participate in DEI are those who have such little workload they need something like this to justify their job.

DEI programs don’t really help diversity, in my experience. They just send emails and have social gatherings and make committees about initiatives about programs about metrics about committees about…

A true DEI program would focus on the grassroots level. Granular. They’d have a rep in every location, they’d have massive coordination with hiring managers and HR, they’d be recruiting volunteers and asking for feedback.

And they have produced more backlash against DEI than real progress on it.

That’s the thing…it doesn’t actually work. It doesn’t help anything. It’s just virtue signaling. I understand, hypothetically, how a DEI program could help make a company’s culture more inclusive, but the vast majority of them just add more buzzwords and red tape and performative resume enhancers.

Eh that’s the thing. The wrong way isn’t even profitable. Maybe a minor bump in hiring ability and branding, but ultimately not worth the headache.

Also that public education is in the toilet. And has been for decades.

Okay this is a pet peeve of mine.

All you fucking “money can’t buy you happiness, but…” people need to FUCKING STOP. STOP WITH THAT SHIT. YES MONEY BUYS HAPPINESS. FULL STOP. NO "BUT"S. IT DOES. THAT’S IT. THAT IS ALL.
