As a non-american, that insult is far more devastating

The best advice I've heard along those lines is: "It's more important to be interested than interesting"

Ironically, I reckon the more interested you are in people and things, the more interesting you become, because you learn and gain a more diverse understanding of the world, and then you are able to interact with more depth with more people.

Milloy has been spouting denial for decades, but this might be the dumbest thing I've seen him say yet.

This article is old, but a good read: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/11/14/16640082/donna-brazile-warren-bernie-sanders-democratic-primary-rigged

The 2016 Democratic primary wasn’t rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn’t rigged against Sanders. But Democratic elites did try to make Clinton’s nomination as inevitable, as preordained, as possible. And the party is still managing the resentment that engendered in voters. “Once somebody doesn’t trust you,” sighs Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chair, “it’s very hard to get that trust back.”

The DNC did mess with the 2016 preselections, but the article argues that that probably benefited Sanders, by giving him much more of a platform than he would otherwise have had.

But it also seems like a footgun for the democrats as a whole, and probably contributed to the 2016 anti-establishment vibe that led to the Trump win

Which bits are not functional? I'm using their email and calendar.. they aren't completely polished, but they're very usable.

Not trying to tell you what do do (I bet there's heaps of people that would see it the same way as you)

But it seems kind of odd that people are happy to give a background check to a corporate employer who doesn't give shit about them (and who they don't care about or feel any responsibility towards), but wouldn't do the same for a community org position that necessarily involves more responsibility to the broader community.
