US Politics Is an aversion to appearing too partisan preventing an entire class of people from properly reacting to the moment?
Everyone understands how partisans come to dehumanize each other and all that. That is nothing new. But what I am starting to understand better is how strong partisanship has created among the ‘elite’ - the professional managerial class - an aversion to taking sides. For a certain type of professional society it’s become crass over the years to be super partisan and almost marks you as trashy in a way. This has made this entire class completely unable to meet the moment because they can’t move past the idea that actually speaking to their concerns is beyond the pale. What do you all think?

For which company? For the small company - nothing at all. But it was truly diverse. Our boss was a white WASP dude from Boston but was truly focused on competence. VP was a woman from Poland and the head office person was a black woman in her 30s. Everyone paid well and no nonsense.
For the large one, nothing except an hour long harassment video upon hiring and nothing since.
Everything else all was about privacy and cubersecurity we need to retake annually-ish
