2024 Presidential Election Thread

Anyone that worked in a large corporation or that is a public company knows exactly what DEI is and how annoying it can be. It wasn’t the bogeyman of the right. It was forced into places by the left and when people found out it was ridiculous is was finally rejected (mostly thanks to the Supreme Court opinion on AA).

I worked for a large corporation and when I hired someone, the color of their skin was a factor HR had me consider.

Yep. I’m a big supporter of diversity initiatives, especially when hiring. But I’m seeing promotion for “diverse” candidates where non diverse candidates leaving because, while more qualified and having a higher business impact, they were passed over for the position. I’m also seeing special one time vesting stock awards for diverse candidates.

The problem is that because of past biases/racism/sexism, there aren’t enough diverse candidates in the pipeline and a lot of lower performing candidates are being promoted and rewarded at the higher levels. It is frustrating for a lot of people.

Like I mentioned, I’m a big supporter of diversity and it should be considered in hiring and other aspects of the business. I’ve got some great diverse employees I’m working with, but it shouldn’t be to the point that diverse employees are blatantly favored over more qualified, higher impacting employees.

You are right that most people didn't know the terms DEI, or critical race theory, or decolinization, or any of these terms. But they knew what it looked like. The impact it had on policy. The impact it had in education. The impact it had in corporate messaging.

Majority of people still can't explain what CRT is. They were very effectively bombarded with messaging that it was dreadful.

Same with DEI. Having a women's resource center and on a college campus wasn't something people lost sleep over.

Harris was meeting Grandpa Joe like every day and covering up his condition. Everyone around Grandpa Joe was covering for him. And MSM outlets like MSNBC were covering for him:

But I agree with you that Joe Biden is a schmuck.

Yes. And the leadership of the Democratic Party should’ve had the guts to fight him on it, but they didn’t.

NYT: "America Hires a Strongman":

Donald Trump told Americans exactly what he planned to do.

He would use military force against his political opponents. He would fire thousands of career public servants. He would deport millions of immigrants in military-style roundups. He would crush the independence of the Department of Justice, use government to push public health conspiracies and abandon America’s allies abroad. He would turn the government into a tool of his own grievances, a way to punish his critics and richly reward his supporters. He would be a “dictator” — if only on Day 1.

And, when asked to give him the power to do all of that, the voters said yes.

We're about to find out just how unlibertarian Trump and Trump Jr. are going to be.

All they need to know is how to do is fire people and shut down stupid federal government agencies...

I guess the democrats and the ghost of Hugo Chavez forgot the rig the election?


For perspective. Our scandal proof President-elect:
1 is thought taken millions in bribes from the Egyptian gov.
2 It is now been discovered that as recently as the start of his 1st term, Trump was who Epstein considered his closest friend
3 Russia has sent fire-starting devices on to cargo planes
4 Trump retaliated when a media outlet reported on Neo Nazi staffer being fired from a field office (I'm surprised he was fired).
5 Trump plan to pardon his treasonous minions who attacked our nation's seat of government.
6 Trump stole physical intelligence related to Russian interference into his first election and did who knows what with it.


But hey, we are safe from overreaching political correctness and the scourge of transgender woke mind virus infecting people against their will.

Welcome to the world of having your political priorities rejected by the voting public. It gets lonely sometimes.
