    You don't stand a ghost of a chance of that happening.

    No she said..........

    "I think that there’s a lot of people more concerned about being precisely, factually, and semantically correct than about being morally right."

    She feels it's more important to be what she thinks is morally right than to be factually correct.

    So Liberals approve of rape culture since they didn’t condemn her “train” tweet. Kind of makes Trump tweets rather tame by comparison.

    In what regard? Her lack of basic political and financial knowledge? We will hopefully not have to suffer her past one term. This freshman class in of itself is already suffering. In "resistance" to Trump, many Americans elected people who will never be able to 'rise to the office', and we can only hope that the bills they pass when the government reopens do not damage us in the long-term.

    I find it interesting that you and the general Right have this view of her and her views and don't seem to realize that she represents a growing number of people who feel that capitalism has been corrupted in the US to the point where it's leaving them behind. ignore her at your peril.

    Actually, what's been corrupted is the lack of entrepreneurship and the lack of rising up the corporate ladder. More and more people are workers. It's not a lack of working hours, it's an overabundance of them. Something that Communism/socialism cannot solve.

    So sure, put a more ineffective person than Donald Trump in power, but don't complain when that government is feeble and inept. Sure, it might not be corrupt anymore(or at least not FBI corrupt) but that's a very small victory, amidst a great defeat for the rest of us.

    We're deranged because we're in disbelief that 100 K New Yorkers mindnumbingly, incompetently elected this woman. Her election is more of an atrocity than Trump's 2016 victory.

    Us guys care about the federal government, you guys want to elect a meme to 'resist Trump'. Well, the meme can't govern. All she can do is infuriate us with mind blowing examples of how someone with no experience whatsoever should be in a position of power.

    Uh...what? You have it backwards. Everyone was sold on 'going to college and getting a business degree' and now there are too many of those ,and not enough workers.

    And by skilled workers, specifically it's tech. The hot item right now would be going to a technical institute and getting a degree there. Not only is technology rapidly developing, but technology is a part of almost every basic job right now. That's why there's a lack of skilled workers.

    But these are small pot holes. Within the overall larger economy, Americans are working more hours. They're getting less because a worker will never make the same as a CEO. Not even back in the "good ole days" of the 50's and a 70% tax rate.

    We need more entrepreneurs, and we need a more even divide between them and workers. Public Sharing of stock is also an ideal approach.

    I don't think anyone (beyond the insane) is saying that the average worker should make 'As Much' as the CEO. The issue many reasonable people have, is the fact that the CEO's pay has been ever increasing, while the workers page has basically stagnated vs their share of productivity.

    And I fully agree with your first point. Technical school is the way to go (It's where i got my own Power Engineering designation) over Universities. It's where the money is and where the need is. Not more suits with BAs
