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.

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.

If only Democrats were _actually_ radical enough to suggest something like that lmao

Waters/Pelosi 2020!

it's hilarious that Maxine Waters is held up as this, like, grand agitator and advocate for violent action when she's suggesting people go out and hold signs at protests lmao

"hold signs at protests"
>what actually happened - Republican representatives being booed out of restaurants,
"If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. You push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!""
She said that there should be "no sleep, no peace" for the people responsible who are for the separation of children from their parents that was part of the recent "zero tolerance" immigration policy. (Literally crowds harassing Trump's cabinet outside of their damn house)
Sounds like harassment and agitation to me - definitely not holding signs at protests

> "being booed out of restaurants"

brb playing small violin

@𝖘𝖔𝖛𝖎𝖊𝖙 𝖗𝖊𝖚𝖓𝖎𝖔𝖓 The footage is online if you don't believe me, hell she said it herself lmao

“Already, you have members of your Cabinet that are being booed out of restaurants,” she continued as the crowd erupted, “who have protesters taking up at their house, who say, ‘No peace, no sleep. No peace, no sleep,’” she continued.

hooo boy oh wow, what a chilling threat

Harassment is harassment

I'm going on your claim that all she said was suggest people go out and hold signs for peaceful protest

Which is a total sack of crap, and not what happened.

alright, I can accept she said more than that, yeah
