You could build a pretty complex society around such concepts. Primitive in the sense that it happened in the past, but no less valid or sophisticated.
Any of them could drop dead at any moment. Bernie seems pretty healthy.
We're literally seeing it now. Someone like Wyatt Koch is just given his design degree from one of the best art colleges in the world because he has the money to pay for it and subsidize his education. We openly castigate and demonize people that choose the humanities as "lesser" because they have the audacity to want to do something that doesn't promote their direct material interests for their higher education. Which then speaks to the question of when higher education became a necessity to be able to have a secured financial and material interest in the first place.

Granite State Poll said:
Old white guy fetish is strong. Really, it seems to be just name recognition
Why Warren though? She's so unlikeable, I don't see her inspiring much. Why not Harris though?
Exactly. I care most about the message being delivered. Not as much about the vessel delivering it. I do like Bernie as a personality as well personally, but if there were a younger Social Democrat running that had the rallying power Sanders does, I might be inclined to have them as my top pick.
Yes, he should announce his pick because you totally in good faith think he'll pick tulsi
People don't really vote so much based on where people fall on the ideological spectrum
What would you consider expensive? 10k? 50k? And what if where a person wants to be is out helping in their community (and the knowledge provided by their degree significantly enhances their ability to do that)?
Equating policies that fight structural inequalities with superficial identity politics is the yikes. Its a perfect example of woke, white liberal multiculturalism.
Because it's just a performative cultural signifier rather than actually giving these people material changes. We've seen this song and dance before, dozens of times.
I'm gay. Those "performative cultural signifiers" have been real fucking important to normalizing us and they are very much appreciated because of the history of where we came . Who is "we" here, exactly?
Exactly. Sanders also has a history of making very questionable hires for important positions, so choosing Gabbard who's a Sanders loyalist & insider would continue that pattern.
In what world is something like Harris playing up her HBCU roots on the same level as actually funding HBCUs? I think that's the point being raised.
It's the same world where people are angry that some aren't performatively expressing solidarity with someone Omar enough. This stuff matters to people.
There is 0% chance of Tulsi
The point is that she's visiting them and highlighting them as part of the campaign. Bernie didn't do this in 2016 and it cost him. (Also Hillary in the General, both didn't like campaigning outside their comfort zones)
People are attributing it to his media presence which he's been hitting hard recently.
In the March YouGov poll, Pete, Kamala, Beto and Biden were all overperforming their name recognition in their "who would you consider" polling. (Haven't seen G. Elliot take a look at the April numbers yet.)
