They’ve failed everyone

Every time

@\ N_Logan \

Democratic policies imo are cowardly liberal compromises that only reinforce the existing structures that are grinding us all into dust

_"The best way to solve sexism in the workplace is by hiring more female board members and CEOs! Time for the age of the Lady Boss™"_

Like, no, honey, the best way to do that is to build worker power through unions and undermine the power of capital.

lmao even then they should only hire on skill

Nothing unions should do

what do you mean?

I mean it’s not an issue woman aren’t on the board because it should be based on skill of the worker , not gender

Ok liberals

I mean, I think it would be a good idea for corporate boards to be more democratic and representative of their workforce. The corporate board should, at least, proportionally match the gender composition of their workforce. Like, that isn't a super radical thing, imo

But my point is that liberals often than that just including more identity representation in capitalistic institutions is somehow going to fix them.

Why hiring and firing should be on skill not gender

Like the gender wage gap is bs

I mean, that's a whole discussion on it's own, but I think you're misunderstanding that I'm not necessarily saying that hiring should be decided on gender and identifies alone lmao

hmh ok

The idea that, I dunno, having more Lady Bankers would prevent things like massive mortgage fraud by gigantic investment banks is silly.

Or that having more women on the front lines is gonna solve America's militaristic attitudes in our foreign policy.

It's a cowardly cop-out that Democrats often do in order to placate progressive social sensibilities without the hard commitments to actually challenging institutions of power, like capital or the military.

Im all for more woman as long as it’s fair

As in good skill hiring

Well, yeah, I don't think anybody is out there advocating for unqualified workers to be hired...?

Trust me

(Democrats)

Yeah, and I'm well aware of the Democratic platform and that's not really what they advocate for.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.wsj.com/amp/articles/california-becomes-first-state-to-mandate-female-board-directors-1538341932

They advocate for greater consideration of demographics in hiring decisions, particularly at public institutions or agencies, but not "fuck qualifications, you must hire this person because if not you're a racist".

Yeah, I'm sure they can find qualified female workers to fill those positions.

I don't think that's forcing them to hire people who are otherwise unqualified, that's silly lmao

Well that’s not the case in California

They’re obsessed with minority shit

I don't think it's that big of a deal to have a mandate that a certain proportion of your corporate board include women, like that seems perfectly benign

There are mandates in other countries that a certain number of seats in their national legislatures are reserved for people from a specific ethnic group in order to ensure that they're adequately represented.

So, it's not like a really radical idea by any measurement.

Yup.

Let’s just make it so Black women can only work and vote.

Whites were nazis so they do not deserve to live and all whites deserve to die.

Wait I’m a white.

**puts gun to head**

Gotta do what the democrats want me to do.
