Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's such a weird thing to brag about.
The MAGoos were trying to manufacture a scandal; they found one of Harris's old resumes and tried to imply that she was ashamed of her roots. Supposedly, she should have put in her time at McDonalds on a professional resume. If that sounds like a weird overreach, it's because it is a weird overreach
They should have learned their lesson when they tried attacking AOC for being a bartender...
Ahahaha! "Learn!"
Thing is they have to reach. Because they don't have any real arguments. The whole thing is a grift, so they just say whatever stupid shit they think might resonate with people they have no respect for.
I review a lot of resumes. When it's for someone right out of school or very early career, it makes sense for them to include things like fast food work or retail. But it seems really strange when someone with decades of relevant experience (I hire software engineers) includes it.
I put strange stuff like that in my resume just to stick out to people like you. Twice now I've been hired partly because I'm a Dungeon Master.
You know, I've had this debate with other managers at work. One was incensed because he got a resume that listed being a raid leader, and thought it was ridiculous. I told him I used to be a WoW raid leader and, even though it's a game, it requires explaining encounters to people who might not be familiar with them, getting ten or more people to follow a game plan, staying calm when things aren't going to plan, and a whole lot of other skills that are useful in the workplace. I've never thought to put it on my own resume, but I think it's pretty valid.
Don't all attorneys put their fast food worker experience on their resumes?
In this economy I put my attorney experience on my fast food resume!
Shit, my partner put their masters degree on a fucking to-go orders job at a restaurant...and there were 3 rounds of interviews.
When I was starting out every resume book, class, website said not to put retail or food service jobs on your resume unless you were applying to your very first professional job (shows you can hold a job and have some experience working with others and taking orders from a manager) or it was relevant to the job you were applying to.
The reason Trump and his handlers think this is such a gotcha is because they got all their jobs from mommy and daddy and their parents' friends. His cult has worked the same job their entire life, don't actually work and collect worker's comp, or don't need a resume for the type of job they have.
Not really impressive.
My dad can eat more garbage than your dad.
