They aren't marginalized or 'left behind,' though they feel excluded. They want to keep their white, Christian, male privilege.
That pretty much sums it up -- do I even need to read the article?
We used to have these shit developers and I accepted a lot of bad code back then -- if it actually worked -- because otherwise "code review" is full-on training, which is an entire other job from the one I was hired to do.
The client ditched that contracting firm, and the devs I work with now are worth putting in time on code review with -- but damn, we got hella shit code in our codebase to deal with now. Some of it got tossed, some of it ... we live with.
Distro wars, like the old vi vs emacs wars (showing my age, I know) is not entirely serious. I never understood sportsball fandom, but it's kind of like that. Debian is my home team; if you use Fedora, you're from out-of-town.
Was Will ever a Trump supporter? Somehow I thought he was smarter than that, but I haven't read an essay of his in decades.
Harris's policies are misguided on a number of issues, but her main commitment is to strengthening the nuts and bolts of our democracy, so we will still have mechanisms available to challenge those policies and get them to change.
Not only is Trump a thousand times worse than Harris on every bad policy she has, his primary commitment is to destroying the mechanisms of democratic participation, so that there will be no way to hold the powerful to account.
I've read many thoughtful articles in TNR; I'm disappointed they would publish this one.
If your point is that Harris's campaign team is full of people looking out for corporate interests, and that reflects poorly on her prospects for taking the side of the people when our interests oppose theirs ... ok. It seems like you got a couple of snippets of evidence supporting that thesis: go, get your ducks in a row, and make a blog post with lots of links laying out the evidence as you see it, and we can consider it.
Making a headline that's clearly deceptive when considered to be a description of the linked article (which is totally what it is; there is no wiggle room on this) is not going to do anything but annoy people and get them to vote down your post, even if the information considered on its own is something we'd want to know. Someone else will post it with a reasonable headline, and we'll vote that one up.
I highly recommend this video to anyone interested in the history of the Haitian debt: https://youtu.be/WpWb3MTV9bg?si=DHz4ZFaFr2Zhidy-
It's easy to make shit up for people who never consider whether something is plausible as long as it suits their preferred narrative.
Trump said during the debate that
- In Democrat-run states, doctors routinely commit infanticide.
- Undocumented immigrants, despite their need to remain constantly vigilant about not revealing their illegal status, come in massive numbers to the US at the insistence of Democrats and succeed in registering to vote, and voting (for Democrats, of course).
- Crime rates are plummeting in every other country in the world, because they all are sending their criminals to the US to commit crimes here.
- Immigrants are kidnapping family pets and eating them.
Do Trump supporters actually take all that at face value? I ... cannot begin to understand how that is possible, but evidently it is.
Oh, sure, whatever corporate overlords are involved have unfettered access, but they're unlikely to analyze that data from a public safety perspective. Unhinged players are addicted to their products and no interest in making anything public that could cut into their profits.
