Spoken like a foreign bad actor

Which young politicians and new media commentators would you point to? I need new people to follow.

“The revolution will be federated” fuck yeah

Thanks. To be honest, that article doesn’t really convey a sense that Democrats are going in that direction. That’s just a few politicians in a large party saying things that they then are made to apologize for which should be a pretty good indicator of what is well-supported by the rest of the party.

Sources for Democrats saying they lost because of their support for trans rights please?

That’s disingenuous. It was active campaigning against Harris, saying she and Biden were complicit in genocide and that a vote for either was a vote for genocide. Actively campaigning against one candidate is effectively (if not outrightly) campaigning for that candidate’s rival.

Uh, well, I’m not the commenter you’re replying to but I personally saw it all over the place. You didn’t? There was at least one in what felt like every thread for months.

Where is the thread this image is from? Edit: found it https://archive.is/52nbF

The motives matter because I am telling you that they would call it DEIA if it were considered better practice to do so, because the people in the company who take on these initiatives are the people who care enough to do it, and they try to get it right. Do you know people involved in such initiatives? Because I do. And they called it DEI when we used to talk about it. And they changed quite a bit about the initiative based on feedback from members of marginalized groups in the company, so they would have changed the way they referred to it (DEI => DEIA) as well. This is a common experience. The fact that it is called DEI by politicians is simply not a purposeful slight in this instance.

The people who run these initiatives tend to be people who care, actually, in my experience. It’s DEI because DEI is the standard industry-wide term. Have you worked at a company that uses the DEIA initialism instead?

That may be true, but at actual companies the term DEI is almost always used, not DEIA, for internal initiatives.

I’ve had the same simple point since the beginning of this conversation. In fact, I initiated the conversation by replying to you, so I set the topic of conversation, and I haven’t wavered from it. Care to answer my question that you avoided?
