Did he say that? I remember him saying the opposite: "Nothing would fundamentally change"

Anyways, the point I'm making is that your experience was just being unlucky with the quality of the professors you got and the style of teaching they favored.

I think the problem is that experience is pretty common (at leat for my experience in the US). I only learned to love math later in life because I started getting interested in physics, and then I realized that math wasn't rote memorization.

This is how Past-Me documents his code. That guy is such an asshole

I know a few teachers who use cursive when they have students take notes to other teachers. That way the students can't read them

eh, it's fine. They are allowed to disagree. I just wish they'd do it in a constructive way rather than yelling at people. It's obviously not something for you to be sorry about.

I forget where I heard the quote, but:

Stack Overflow is a great place to find answers. Stack Overflow is a terrible place to ask questions.

Yeah, Biden won after the DNC rigged the election in favor of their candidates. Prior to that, Sanders was doing pretty good. Polling also had Sanders doing pretty good in red states.

Yes, the south is super racist, I know first hand. And I agree that the south would have been an uphill battle for Bernie, but I think he could have won despite having the south against him. Now it's too late, and it's just speculation.

But none of that takes away from the fact that the Democrats keep putting up terrible candidates that nobody wants. Look at the polling and votes for Harris, Biden, and Hillary. They did terrible, and it wasn't a surprise to anyone. The Dems need to pick better, or they are gonna keep losing.

Or.... It could be placed on the supposedly opposition party, who ran unpopular candidates on unpopular platforms. Maybe they should have tried to fight against Trump, instead of trying to co-opt his policies.

The math also doesn't lie about 3rd parties: If we had all voted for Harris (and that's a big if), the Dems still wouldn't have won. The math also doesn't lie about the Dems: They ran two terrible campaigns, that even Democratic voters stayed home on, rather than support. A bunch of people who voted for Biden ended up voting for Trump in this election. That's on the Dem leadership.

I completely own up to my vote, and it's consequences. I wish the Dems would do the same.

Yes, Sanders is a great example. The guy that the DNC literally had to put their finger on the scale to overcome. The guy that polled better than Trump in red states.

I have lived all over the country: The coasts, the middle, the south. I know plenty of people in red states that don't like Trump, but don't see the Democrats putting out a candidate that they like. Maybe if the Democrats tried to differentiate themselves from Trump, instead of chasing his policies, they'd do better.
