I know. I wish it was treated as such. I really hope people in the future come to value nuance.

'trump taunted' is not news. The other half of the country sees this as a big dick power move. You can spin it any way you like. Pointless journalism. What's the point?

Respectfully I disagree. I think the way the argument is presented here discourages open discussion

Annoying generalization and useless Internet noise what even is journalism

I think it's important to distinguish between diversity, equity, and inclusion as CONCEPTS and DEI as an organization and initiative.

It is possible to be pro- diversity, equity, and inclusion and be opposed to mismanaged efforts in DEI as a PROGRAM.

This post assumes that DEI as a government initiative is working perfectly and has no downsides, presenting it in a way that closes it off to criticism.

Does every system have to be perfect? Of course not. It's better to have a system pushing for good that's imperfect than none at all, but framing it like this is gaslighting and hurts discussion on both sides.

Hello, new acct. I have no particular reason for joining besides discovering the existence of this place when booting my android.

I do not think AOC has remote same appeal or adeptness of rhetoric to ever do something like this. Would recommend listening to MLKs speeches if haven't already. Someone like that will come eventually, but they can't be forced into that position. Also, the situation has to call for it. If it were possible to wake up and choose to be MLK we'd have a million.
