nevermind that a similarly brokebrained progressive or dedicated troll could accuse donutters of misogynoir given that they're using it as an attempted harassment of a black woman (combination of the gynecological symbolism of donuts plus their repeated erasure of leftist women and PoC). Somebody could, but i haven't the patience for trolling and my headmeats ain't that busted to try and argue w/ them on twitter.

but overall it's another illustration of a much larger problem: that the dnc would rather make inconsequential and performatory gestures rather than allow others access to what little power they have left.

They have accepted the premise that Nina being brought donuts meant she was being shut out of the democratic process, and they are proud of this and celebrating it

how do they not see that they are the villains in this scenario :confused:

That is what they unironically believe, yes. A representative of a major Democratic constituency and former politician was shut out of the DNC, but her taking donuts & water as an insult is what's offensive.

Nina + crew were barricaded outside the DNC office when they tried to deliver their platform. Nina is upset about being barricaded, and cited the water and donuts as the table scraps she got compared to what she wanted (to walk inside and be acknowledged as an equal voice in the 'unified' party).

Clinton wing is all like "at least we got you donuts, why are you complaining? Barricades are just policy!"

the real reason the "skill mismatch" thing is being perpetrated is because having the unemployed train in skills that are expensive to employers drives wages down and enriches the investment class

Control inflation in normal economic times

or are we agreeing but just describing it differently?

in the case of said skills mispatch horseshit, I think the free market idealists just couldn't compute that people wanted jobs and the market was not providing that
