More brilliance from the Democratic Party

[FAUlty Gator]

Glad to see they're finally getting things together. Women aren't getting into MANufacturing because it has the word MAN in it. Holy hell.

"Yesterday I met with a manufacturing company, but they also are engaged in getting young people more engaged in manufacturing," Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., said during a Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade subcommittee hearing entitled "AI in Manufacturing: Securing American Leadership in Manufacturing and the Next Generation of Technologies."

Schakowsky continued by saying she thinks that fewer women are in manufacturing because the word itself sounds too male.

"So, I asked them, so, how many of those students that are signing up and want to do this? How many are women?" Schakowsky said, adding that they told her it was at least 13%.

"It was a low number," she said. "And you had mentioned trying to engage more women in manufacturing. I'm just wondering if just the name manufacturing sounds like a guy."

Democrat lawmaker says the word manufacturing 'sounds like a guy,' might be why field has few women

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, D-Ill., asked during a hearing if the reason why fewer women are involved in manufacturing is because the term “sounds like a guy."

There needs to be a pretty serious purge of this mentality if they’re ever going to appeal to what a big chunk of ‘mericans are now.

Seriously Dems, why do you give MAGA dumbass talking points? People like this woman are waging a weird culture war that they cannot win. Focus on the shit that matters.

Can we just start a master thread and add to it whenever any representative or senator says something stupid? Would clean up a lot of the clutter on this board.

Nobody seems focussed on the shit that matters.

She must be playing 3D chess. That's what I'm led to believe is happening when Trump says something stupid. Same thing here.

Same with Muskrump as well. It would be 2 political threads and 48 Cooper DeJean threads.

I don't disagree that these streams of consciousness are better left unsaid, but it's not like MAGA or moderates aren’t going to just make a bunch of crap up.

I get it. Dumb to continue to bring up this stuff that has very little to do with actual problems. The hard part I have is that everyone seems to focus on these situation. Again, which have very little effect on anything but then we sit quietly while Trump breaks laws that have been around for decades. So we get really upset about Dems saying dumb things, but just kind of upset when Trump breaks laws. That is just mind numbing to me, but it's very true.

Stupid shit is stupid shit.

We get the government we deserve.

So, it's your assertion that me posting this dumb lady saying something dumb is me "focusing on this" while also "getting really upset about it", and determining that I am "less upset" by the dumb illegal things Trump is doing?

How in the hell did you arrive there? Why not we just point out all dumb things being said by elected people? And let them stand on their own?

You get it. I get it. The problem is not a lot of other people get it. And while you’re right about it being trivial in the grand scheme of things, it plays right into the hands of the MAGA Idiot Brigade. And yes, when it comes to stupid shit like that, there is a clear double standard. The same people sounding off about this had no problem with “they’re eating the dogs,” or a bill proposal to put Trump on Mount Rushmore.

Unfortunately, pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t win elections. Fear does.

Sure, but why give them ammo? It’s dumb. Dems need to stop being dumb.

In his defense, you did make it about Democrats and not just one crazy lady.

And FTR, I know you call out stupid shit across the political spectrum. I’m not being critical; I just understand why fred would respond the way he did.

Yes. It is an addendum to yesterday's sing song thread which is why I titled it "More Democratic Brilliance".

Not going to happen.

Well, yeah, that becomes redundant.

What if I bang a Lesbo? Is that an exception? Because I’ll do it I swear!

 

[zappaa]

Is menstruation to manly?

 

[Nagarunja]

It was a dumb thing to say but only if you’re looking to be outraged could it be construed that she thinks the word is sexist.

Manufacturing has historically been a man’s job and even sounds like a man’s job. Kind of a pointless but technically true thing to say.

But again, I can see how this is news if you’re addicted to outrage.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

This is why Dems lose. Dems can sport their own crazies, but don't stop them. MAGAS spot their own crazies, but reward them.

Our system is f'd
