The diagnosis includes underfunded state parties and Democratic declines in voter registration. The report also stated that a “persistent inability or unwillingness to listen to all voters has provided the other major party with opportunities for advancement at the expense of Democratic growth, evolution, and ability to find common ground with seemingly disparate groups of voters from coast to coast, and the heartland Democrats tend to ignore.”
The report also criticizes Democrats for relying too heavily on Republicans to “nominate deeply flawed candidates,” adding that “regaining trust and confidence in the party” and giving voters an “affirmative reason to support Democrats” will “take a comprehensive strategy and considerable effort over multiple cycles.”
I read that section of the article and wasn’t confused about her general retelling of her work history and favorite jobs. The idea that only people above 18 work is preposterous. Especially when the article detailed that she was already a skilled laborer by the age of 14.
No, I was simply stating how I felt about it because I think it’s a damn shame that the real story here got obfuscated by a hyper focus on a small detail.
Apologies on the assumption, Lemmy is so overwhelmingly male and misogynistic that it’s easy to miss the rare woman here.
You misread the article and immediately jumped to conclusions about her work history.
I'm allowed to feel annoyed that a group of men decided it was more important to nitpick a woman's story than to feel sympathy or outrage at her mistreatment.
It's not an obvious stance and it's laughable when men assert this. If it was an obvious stance, we'd be working harder to eliminate these types of egregious and horrific treatments of women.
Instead there's more comments about the odd pacing of a brief retelling of the victim's work history.

You’ve already shown that you’re not willing to engage in a good faith discussion about this, why would I waste my time trying to have an interesting discussion about patriarchies, societal expectations, and biology with you.
Yeah this story is insane and it’s driving me wild that no one has actually read the crazy details, but they’re getting more hung up on whether this woman lied about her work history.
She’s not the only woman to be treated this way either.
It's a fascinating story that's worth a deeper dive if you're interested.
