student teaching is nbd unless you get a really bad mentor, just don't employ most of the bullshit manipulatory tactics you learn under the guise of "classroom management" and the kids will be grateful as hell that you think they're actually people that can be reasoned with. obviously you must retain overall control of the classroom and keep them focused on learning but not playing the mind games goes a long way toward making everyone's life in a classroom a lot easier

oh and see if you can go into your future classroom a couple of times a week for a while before you student teach to watch and help. some programs make that mandatory, others don't, but it's really good practice and the kids will feel like someone they know and who has helped them out is taking over the class, instead of a goony stranger

the lynchpin of the "new economy", where people don't deserve to be able to afford to live unless they are educated enough to get a knowledge job such as mathematician, engineer, or programmer

programmer is preferred because of its deep associations with entrepreneurship, innovations, startups, efficiency, and other buzzwords that these people love. and also because the standards for being a qualified programmer are virtually nonexistent, so it's real easy to turn high schoolers into so-called coders and then blame them for not being able to get a decent-paying job. most other STEM stuff is actually difficult poo poo you can't train a high schooler to fake in six months
The only reason programming is even relevant for the common man is because of a British ARM PC made for education started a craze, as smartphones are fancy magic garbage still.

Amazon doesn't see race to discriminate upon
Amazon sees purchase history, a far more accurate method of assumption.

Apparently a journalist got roughed up at one point (which was dumb of whoever did it), but I wouldn't consider that indicative of antifa as a whole, especially since I'm not sure it's even a movement or an organization so much as just a description.

realistically webb is probably too old school bigoted southern democrat to actually win the nomination, but you are putting too much emphasis on the Big Ideas when the candidate themselves is far more important - if martin o'malley ran on bernie's identical message, he still would not have gotten much farther than he did. in fact, pretty much every primary we've had our token liberal who ran on basically bernie's platform and got blown out by the rest of the field, even in open primary states. message is important but it's actually just one aspect of the candidate - hence why itt most people here probably still wouldn't like an alternate universe clinton where she ran on single-payer and $15/h minimum wage, they would just assume she was lying.

anyway, the idea that someone can't succeed by bashing the establishment while not being ideologically far from the dem mainstream, or even being significantly to the right of it, is ignoring history. jimmy carter, for example! and so the assumption that open primaries will automatically benefit progressives is just not true, it's probably the opposite.

While I think that this is generally still true, I think the big mistake you're making (and have made previously in this thread) is assuming that historical political trends can be applied to the present and future. I think that older people (or rather people who came of age long before the Great Recession) still make up a large enough portion of the electorate that the stuff you're saying still remains largely true, but that will only continue to change more and more as people who came of age in a completely different country and political environment become a larger portion of the electorate.

I would be very curious to see how younger people vote if we end up with a "charismatic mainstream politician vs Sanders (or someone similar)" primary. I believe a lot of older voters who voted for Sanders based primarily off of distaste for Clinton might go to someone like Biden (despite his similar politics), but I doubt the same thing would happen with younger voters, who are probably generally more cynical than older ones regarding politicians.
