The DNC isn't a charity; they exist to get people elected.
Not only that but to get people elected who will serve the best interests of the party. Some guy who wants to win to "make a statement" and claimed he will leave office in one year, a time frame in which he can't possibly achieve anything meaningful, isn't the guy to support.
The debates promote the entire party, and they're trying to create a contrast with the Republican clown show.
There are plenty of clowns on both sides.
Trump and Hillary may as well play Entrance of the Gladiators as their theme music when they make public appearances.
He's in favor of government funding for Planned Parenthood and he has expressed both support for gun control and complete ignorance of the current gun laws, so he's not going to pull away any Republican voters.
He has not put forth an agenda on Income inequality, the budget deficit/national debt, union support and police misconduct, so he's not going to be able to develop a connection with the Democrat base.
His one big issue is something that the majority of Americans do not support.
You have already made up your mind. I didn't say it for you. I restated the case for the benefit of any observers who may not have understood my position.
The left is actually the group that opposed the involuntary sterilization measures that were practiced, and the left doesn't support any extant programs to discourage particular races to reproduce that I know about.
Not explicitly but there is a reason why 80% of Planned Parenthood facilities are in minority communities.
In most states, a criminal defendant has an absolute right to have evidence evaluated in an independent laboratory to confirm the state/county crime lab's results but in many states, that doesn't apply to DUI defendants. The "official" results from the crime lab are the only ones that are permitted.
My politics are as right wing as they come and there is hypocrisy all across the political spectrum.
While the left is ringing the #BlackLivesMatter bell, they dutifully ignore the black lives being snuffed out in abortion clinics.
In the center, you have people breaking their arms to pat themselves on the back about how tolerant they are on same sex marriage but they're not so tolerant when it comes to polygamy and consensual adult incest.
The right has embraced #ICanBreathe and #BreatheEasyDontBreakTheLaw when it comes to black people, they're cheering Kim Davis' flouting of a federal court order.
I think it's because a lot of people in tech are intelligent and it's exceedingly frustrating to be subordinate to people who know less about your job than you do.
If you think that your experience is identical to everyone else's, you are the one who is deluded.
Your experience is atypical. Outside of the Bay area, Silicon Valley and Manhattan, tech salaries are substantially lower.
In my market, $70-90k is the range for most experienced IT personnel. Employers here heavily recruit H1B workers and pay them in the $75k range. It's cheaper because H1B contractors don't get paid the same kind of benefits, retirement, et cetera.
The existence of the H1B visa is government manipulating the free market. It allows business to bring in cheap labor that isn't free to leave for a higher paying job.
Sling is ALMOST perfect for my needs. It's currently just short of two channels that I'd like but the big obstacle for me is that it only allows one stream per account. I have two TVs and they're often in simultaneous use.
If they'd allow a second stream for $5/month, I'd be well on my way to cord cutting.
If you hate Obama because of his policies or politics, I think that you have to concede that a year and a half of Obama is preferable to risking nine and a half years of Biden.

He was a good programmer so everyone mostly just tolerated it but his signature line was "I'm not a programmer, I'm an ENGINEER!"
I'm like, "ok fine. Go 'Engineer' up a fix to that VB code that -Other Coworker- fucked up, please."

I'm blaming the left for reproductive irresponsibility. Abortion and having a bunch of children that one can't support come along with it.
It is the left that incentivized it.
The welfare queen is a real thing. I have seen it.

Drunk driving cases are a special breed.

This is a recipe for abuse.
