There will come a day where Donald Trump is gone, but the dishonor of those who carried his water will remain.
So that was my excuse? Thank you
I agree, my current job (sales) does not require a college degree and I'll never do anything else. I am glad I had the college experience and I did retain a lot of what I learned in school. So college, although not required to be successful, is an asset. You can also have just as a rewarding an experience by back-packing around the world after high school. I admire people who do that.

Hello Flash,
Someone looking to bust her chops would have to look at minutia. Looks to me like she took an opportunity to make a good point. Counting someone as working by definition of working one hour per week hardly means they are doing OK. Sure, the unemployment rate is low, but that does not accurately reflect that people are doing OK. Some of them are working multiple jobs and still struggling. That was the point she wanted to make. If she made it sound like a misunderstanding of economics that wasn't the point, but those with a closed mind and a heap of prejudice will look for whatever they can to criticize her, while purposely overlooking her concern for struggling American workers who can't even make ends meet despite working multiple jobs.

Hello Flash,
I have attacked no one in particular, yet offered sound criticism where it was due.
That is what woke is all about. Concern for those members of society who are economically attacked by the rich and powerful, and characteristically attacked by the prejudiced and hateful.

A person does not have to be prejudiced or dislike AOC to correct her description of how unemployment is determined. The topic was unemployment rate and had nothing to do with compassion, people struggling, or making ends meet. Misunderstanding the unemployment rate gives no help to any of these problems. Everything is not about partisan explanations; sometimes, truthful explanations and knowledge is the point.
Hello LurchAddams,
It did get Hillary 3 million more votes. America preferred Hillary.
The people who tacitly support Trump because they fear Democrats more than Trump are not quotable public figures so it would be impossible to offer examples, but that doesn't mean they can't be nice people.
And in general, so many of them turned on Trump in 2020 that he lost both the popular vote and the electoral vote. Many of those who voted against Trump are Republicans.
Here are Republicans, being nice, and critical of the cult:

Sure, but the big picture was not the topic, it was how we calculate the unemployment rate. Sometimes it is necessary to understand the basics of the system before we can understand the big picture.
If we think unemployment is falling because people are working 2-3 jobs that creates a very different big picture than more realistic explanations.
