Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

this spanish name thing is hilarious to me

Very sad that we didn't get German names. Also sad that I took German, but nevertheless...

I worked in a place that did business with Taiwan, and we had a few Taiwanese people in plant for long periods. Some took "American" names and one of them picked "Nova" which was a model of the Data General mini-computers that we used, and one picked "Linger" because his family name was Lin and our company had a big-wig whose last name was Ringer.

I was "Roberto" in Spanish class. easy one.

in German class, I think we just used English names? it was college, which I only attended sparingly.

in ASL class, I have no idea what anybody said to me because i usually didn't go to class and yet somehow got a C.

Guys this primary season included a white guy who called himself Beto and we’re making fun of Amy?

Robert dropped out tho

Amy also abuses employees

Oh shit

And enjoys the reputation of being hard to work for

Fwiw, I do think that referring to your elementary school Spanish class name when giving a speech to a culinary union is sillier than going by a Spanish nickname given as a kid on a day-to-day basis.

We also got to wear the classroom sombrero on birthdays, iirc.

I also believe it would have been funny if Amy showed up in a sombrero

kill me :) :) :) :)

nice, white college-educated women are literally almost completely wrong, in order

jeeeesus

Hope I live to see college diplomas completely shitcanned as any kind of valid metric of intelligence

as trump would say, "lats take IQUE test!!!11"

well-off people being drawn toward candidates who ask nothing of them shockah

This has nothing to do with intelligence and everything to do with privilege/self-interest

totally

Well, yeah, I'm just responding more generally to the tendency of treating the thoughts and opinions of the college educated as if they're worthy of any consideration if they aren't backed up with something more substantive than 'binge drank my way through four years of a grade-Z state school'.

Catalina and Eva, present.

fuck, didn't realize OL knew me in college

also a white woman who called herself indigenous for 7 decades. we can make fun of them all

I only managed to binge drank my way through 3 years of state school, will somebody please call me and count my opinions

You've come a long way since that one time we got arrested for breaking into the food court at 3am, YMP.

I mean, look y'all: I have a college degree. Me. I don't know how much more evidence you need to devalue that particular currency.

i have a college degree, look i made a hat out of it

haha wow the wites really are intent on fucking everything up

The tumblr wites?

college, non-college, men, women, tumblr, all of em

you could make some cool eugenics arguments about wite behavior over the last 150 years, probably

you are off by several millenia

can we have a moment for the Sanders spokeswoman who made the world's worst birtherism analogy and made up heart attacks for Bloomberg

nice, white college-educated women are literally almost completely wrong, in order

You should tell them that. I'm sure they'll take it well.

yes please xpost

i accept your dare. someone, please gather all the white college-educated women, and let them know that i can't do tomorrow afternoon, as i have to appear in a gathering of all white men, and that's definitely not creepy

Hope I live to see college diplomas completely shitcanned as any kind of valid metric of intelligence

You will.

what the fuck @ that poll

It's absolutely inconceivable to me that a group of people who absolutely never encounter mansplaining or have their intelligence belittled on a regular basis would have any problem with Sanders supporters. Who could possibly imagine it?

you are off by several millenia

xp eric h

could it also be that the poll is ALL college-educated women, of all political persuasions, and that nearly every single conservative-leaning person is convinced that bernie sanders is the antichrist and must be defeated at all costs?

key words on that poll are "white" and "college", not "educated" and "women"

It's absolutely inconceivable to me that a group of people who absolutely never encounter mansplaining or have their intelligence belittled on a regular basis would have any problem with Sanders supporters. Who could possibly imagine it?

This doesn't explain why they're in unison with white college educated men or why it doesn't hold true with WOC, who I don't believe are immune to belittling or mansplaining?

i stay out of the bernie bro wars a lot, but pretty sure 90%+ normal people have no experience with having their intelligence belittled by bernie supports on twitter, because they're not on twitter

the impression that Berniebros are overly aggro is widespread, it's part of his narrative at this point.

whether anyone's encountered it directly or not is immaterial. For my part I have definitely gotten a fair amount of hostility on the Bernie thread of this very board fwiw.

The standout there is Warren is second-last, though.

imo the standout is that bloomberg is second

both equally depressing, imo
