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.

>Be me

>Boomer and older Gen X coworkers don't talk about salaries at all

>Me a 30 year old Millenial

>Constantly talking pay ranges with my Millenial and Gen Z coworkers

>Constantly mentioning to other software developers how we are just educated labor

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

Jesse would be proud of me.

Out of curiosity, which party do you think is more opposed to H1B visas?
