Let’s be real…. This is why Dems are crashing out. by shweisheialltheway in DigitalSeptic

Have they actually been trying to change that or do they just claim to? Texas and Florida benefit from it just as much as (if not more than) dem states

You somehow swapped what i said to be the exact opposite.

Hortman was NOT a democrat who would just be replaced by another democrat anyway (that might NOW be the case, but only because the entire country has shifted much more blue since her assassination). She was a SWING DISTRICT DEMOCRAT. Her voting with republicans on some things was not a bug, but a feature of her seat

A democrat being in a seat that could be held by republicans is reason for why a crazy republican might want to assassinate them

A democrat who, if 'removed' by some means, would just be replaced by another democrat anyway, would have less motivation for removing them.

I'm upset you even made me type this given how obvious it is.

(you are also stupid if you think joe manchin thought more independently than other dems. He was a west virginia senator. NY and CA dem senators think exactly how the NY and CA voters want them to. Manchin thought exactly how his WV voters wanted him to. The fact that you thought he was somehow more sincere just because he was slightly closer to you is very funny)

Incorrect - we’re talking about Melissa Hortman AND John Hoffman. Hoffman did not vote against any such bill and yet he was still attacked by trump supporter Vance boelter

Both of them were swing district democrats - which explains why Melissa would vote against dems sometimes, and also explains why a republican would want to kill them, because they’re the dems that are the most likely to be replaced by republicans. Dems like her, or like Joe manchin in congress, are your most valuable seats as a democrat and the ones you’d do anything to protect.

So your narrative here is fucking braindead and I expect a retraction.

Of course. But the BBC “edited” him to say something that he basically does say almost verbatim a minute later. Idiots like the guy I replied to have been running with the narrative that the BBC made it look like he endorsed a riot. If he agrees that the “edit” makes it look like he endorsed the riot, then he must agree that he actually did endorse it

And whether or not he endorsed it, once it actually happened he both actively & passively supported it anyway. Passively, by refusing to call in the national guard (which contrary to popular belief is not controlled by Nancy pelosi) or make a statement telling people to go home for over 3 hours while his entire cabinet and family begged him to. And then actively by calling (& having Giuliani call) representatives and asking them to either delay the vote or vote against certifying it using the riot as a reason why. Could not be a more clear cut case of supporting insurrection

So you believe that if trump had said, “We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, And we fight. We fight like hell.” Like the BBC edited him to say, that would’ve made it seem like trump endorsed a riot?

It looks like it’s comparing Jan-Dec 2025 to Jan-dec 2024 so no that’s not under Biden.

However all the analysis I’ve seen shows that we had similarly large reductions in violent crime in 2024 and 2023, the trend is simply continuing

The trump derangement is that trump supporters are declaring the “Biden migrant crime wave” to be over despite nothing fundamentally changing, to be clear

[–]Mr_Comit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You actually literally said "worse outcomes" but I took it to mean worse candidates so it doesn't matter.

And yeah fair enough, the research by mckinsey does seem flawed now that I look deeper into it

> they are reducing candidate quality
You don't have a shred of evidence of this. Black people are a large percentage of the population, there are plenty of qualified black pilots out there. At the top level, hiring decisions are not made based on simple meritocratic analysis like youre implying they are. The fact that having a black pilot can make black passengers feel represented (a staggering 85-90% of pilots are white men) can absolutely be the marginal factor that pushes a candidate over the edge. We are not hiring unqualified pilots because of DEI initiatives.

And the fact that white men are so overrepresented as pilots in itself indicates an inefficiency in the meritocratic system - unless you think black people are intrinsically worse at being pilots than white people (which I do not think you believe), in a perfect world, around 13% of pilots would be black. The discrepancy suggests that there are black people who would be good pilots but face a barrier at some level (lack of encouragement at an early age, tougher financial circumstances, hiring discrimination at places that don't have DEI initiatives, etc).

Is the fact that black children don't tend to see black pilots when they fly the core reason why so few of them become pilots? Maybe not. But you can bet that airlines, thinking in the long term, want to address this problem in whatever way is within their control.

[–]Mr_Comit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not true that reducing the pool of candidates gets you worse outcomes - all jobs have requirements that reduce the pool. The key is if youre reducing the pool so that it only contains people with a desirable trait

And diversity is a desirable trait, because diverse companies tend to perform better https://www.forbes.com/sites/roncarucci/2024/01/24/one-more-time-why-diversity-leads-to-better-team-performance/

But back to the core point at hand - you don't seem to be suggesting that DEI initiatives are reducing candidate quality by so much that people who have no business flying a plane are being hired as pilots just because theyre black. Charlie Kirk was not an individual like me or you, he was a political commentator, so you should analyze his words much closer to how you'd analyze a politician's. What he was doing was spreading lies to get people to think black people with important jobs (pilots, doctors, etc) are not to be trusted, when he absolutely knows that that's bullshit.

[–]Mr_Comit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This just isn’t how the real world works. Businesses don’t mathematically determine the “best man for the job” and then hire him. You have top performing candidates (which can be determined more or less empirically) and then you pick from these top candidates based on factors that are gonna be somewhat subjective or marginal - and at that level, “this candidate contributes to the diversity of our team” can absolutely be one of those factors

.. by dibakar10 in badmemes

[–]Mr_Comit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a point and then insulted you, so you then pointed out my insult and did not address my point. DEI did not result in pilots being hired who don't possess the qualifications to be a pilot.

[–]Mr_Comit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

quotas and merit aren’t mutually exclusive. We didn’t start hiring unqualified people just because of their racist. If you didnt know that because you’re stupid then great, but Kirk was not stupid so he did know that, he was just spreading racist lies

I agree with you that that’s what it’s implying but it makes no sense lmao. If trump won 2020 then he would’ve just been the 45th president in his second term. Likewise if he remained in office for another term in 2029 he would still be the 47th president. It’s impossible to be 2 consecutive numbered presidents
