Yeah, not gonna lie, New Hampshire is a bit concerning for me right now

It's concerning for me too because I'd like to think this state is just mostly bad instead of completely bad.

But Trump isn't going to win regardless of NH.

I have Friday thru Monday off to canvas in Manchester. Gonna be a long few days.

Yeah, in most cases that would be pretty clear cut for me as well. I just think it lacks teeth - if pharmaceuticals decide not to play ball there's not much the state can do about it

I figure there's no way to pass anything in a proposition that's remotely nuanced so if they don't like it then gently caress 'em, even if it doesn't amount to much

Honestly as a software engineer I'm constantly stressed. I feel like the industry is evolving faster than I can and I year by year get less qualified for new jobs, with little time to train and learn the things I need to know. And my heart isn't in it. I wish I had a degree in history or literature. But I don't have the time or money for that. I'm well off and have many advantages, but I have real trouble giving up any family time.

As a future social studies major going into teaching, I wish I was on track to make any money doing what I know I should be doing and which is kind of important and necessary. The labor market blows. :smith:

You've managed to invent a lot of things that I have never thought or believed.

For what it's worth, I'm not white. I don't know you or your struggles, but I will say that I am acutely aware of discrimination. My earlier post may have been very snarky, but I do sincerely wish that we as liberals could stop tearing each other apart just because we supported a candidate that was only 80% of what we wanted instead of 85%. I wish we could stop being assholes to workers who have a passion for a particular field of study and now want to work in that field to support our families and live comfortably. :(

I and a lot of the people tearing in to Bernouts are Bernie Sanders supporters. I volunteered and campaigned for him. If I am snarky or heated towards Bernouts it is because I'm disgusted at them trying to use their bandwagon support for a candidate I liked to be lovely, petty assholes. I don't particularly like Hillary Clinton for a lot of reasons I've listed in previous versions of this thread, and I'm kind of exhausted having to actually defend someone who I'm not particularly excited about from people who, if they're not actually misogynist shitheads who fall for literal conspiracy theories, are certainly doing a good job of pretending to be while claiming that the guy I actually wanted to win justifies it.

Nah, I work in STEM too and that poo poo is pervasive. In undergrad it was a constant stream about how humanities courses for the Gen Ed req were such bullshit, and "I don't have time for this soft poo poo I have REAL WORK to do".

STEM majors being really annoying about non STEM fields is not a made up criticism.

I'm convinced a good amount of Bernouts were Ron Paul types that got swept in by a popular anti-establishment candidate and once Bernie lost Hillary was certainly not an option.

I'm not too worried unless they do something REALLY outrageous like make up fake evidence. The FBI has made it clear it's totally in the Trump tank to anyone paying the slightest bit of attention which is anyone that's going to read about EMAILS at the 11th hour.

I am also someone who has known and knocked on doors for Bernie for half of my life. I am supporting Clinton because I actually believe in what Bernie believes in, and so to does Clinton.

"Bernie lost, so I'm voting Hitler." <-- This flavor of Bernie "supporter" was just someone voting A for Angry, and s/he can gently caress right the gently caress off. If you supported Bernie then flipped to Trump, it actually turns out you have no moral center or ideological spine.

Yeah I liked Bernie and did some stuff with his supporters and a ton of them didn't really seem to be aware that he was a socialist or understand what that means. A lot of them were spouting boilerplate libertarian talking points when they said what they thought Bernie would do in office.
