You're holding it wrong

Doesn't that explain what our parties have to offer though?

Yes the Dems need to win but you're giving them too much credit. We don't need to make them sound competent with "they're threading the needle", because they aren't. Doing that will give people a false sense of security that there are adults in the room. At best, the voters are the adults, not the Dems.

They're giving up control by exercising control?

I wish we'd yell at the non-voters at least as equally as the 3rd party voters.

What makes you think they aren't ~~listening to~~ gathering training data from their employees? Next Amazon initiative: an Alexa at every water cooler and break area.

So they don't have to pay severance or other state penalties for doing an actual layoff. They aren't thinking of talent with this move.

Depends who's asking.

Right? It would be a serious business error to not get Erdogan in on the production.

I also love making sweeping generalizations about a stranger's knowledge on this forum. The smaller the data sample the better!

It's what you do with your life, not how long you lived it, that matters when it comes to life experience. I've lived enough to draw a parallel to the following quote:

Men like this infantilize women, so women (they believe) will not have the confidence to leave them. They want to keep their wives, if not barefoot and pregnant, at least without the skills and confidence needed to have a career that could support them well. Similarly, at work, they define their secretary's role as part mother, part wife, so they always will be taken care of. Finally, they are so dependent upon the regard of their male colleagues, bosses, and oftentimes even their subordinates, that they will violate their own sense of ethics rather than face the possibility of not being one of "the boys."
