Absolutely. They can't use it back.
Except Kyle Gass
The best advice I've heard along those lines is: "It's more important to be interested than interesting"
Ironically, I reckon the more interested you are in people and things, the more interesting you become, because you learn and gain a more diverse understanding of the world, and then you are able to interact with more depth with more people.
"I've got conviction, Trump's got convictions" seems like a good slogan.
It depends a lot on your screen, and your lifting situation. Black on white is better in day light, white on black is much better on LED screens (as opposed to backlit LCD or CRT monitors).
The US is one of only a few countries that have voted against the last two UN resolutions. You're not wrong, but the US government is a special type of evil.
If I was american I'd obviously be voting for Biden, but ignoring or denying that he's supporting the genocide currently being undertaken by the Israeli government doesn't make him look better.
Of course, Trump would support it too, hence the obviously.
That's an amazing sentence
This article is old, but a good read: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/14/16640082/donna-brazile-warren-bernie-sanders-democratic-primary-rigged
The 2016 Democratic primary wasn’t rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn’t rigged against Sanders. But Democratic elites did try to make Clinton’s nomination as inevitable, as preordained, as possible. And the party is still managing the resentment that engendered in voters. “Once somebody doesn’t trust you,” sighs Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chair, “it’s very hard to get that trust back.”
The DNC did mess with the 2016 preselections, but the article argues that that probably benefited Sanders, by giving him much more of a platform than he would otherwise have had.
But it also seems like a footgun for the democrats as a whole, and probably contributed to the 2016 anti-establishment vibe that led to the Trump win
Not trying to tell you what do do (I bet there's heaps of people that would see it the same way as you)
But it seems kind of odd that people are happy to give a background check to a corporate employer who doesn't give shit about them (and who they don't care about or feel any responsibility towards), but wouldn't do the same for a community org position that necessarily involves more responsibility to the broader community.
