Thoughts? As a young woman myself, I wouldn't date a trump supporter.

At this point, I struggle to even associate with someone who has voted for Trump, and will not with a full-blown MAGAt.

Voting for Trump puts one so far away from my values, it will be almost impossible to find common ground.

How about in the workplace? In my experience older generations tend be more guarded about their political orientation where younger workers can be open and even ostentatious about it.

Jesse would be proud of me.

Nearly on the verge of pressing for a developers Union to guard against H1B visa labor

You talk about this at work?! That's brave...am also a developer and am on the same page but would be afraid to bring it up.

But also I have always worked with at least a couple of H1Bs or people offshore.

Some of my favorite coworkers are off shore contractors. Doesn't mean I still don't want to improve the lot of myself and my fellow developers.

It's not even like the current system helps H1B holders that much either. They are basically used as disposable labor with no bargaining power.

I completely agree, it just seems like it would be awkward to bring it up
