Sure, musing about what we might all do if we were all political mad-men gurus, and such, doesn’t need to be in the same thread as the Trumpbot.
You have a point. I’ll step off.
This. Since the conversation has taken up a lot of this thread, though, I think it should be excised to a thread specifically about Messaging

A city bar association is not the same thing as a state bar association. It is more like a club(think monthly luncheons) than the actual state bar(which handles discipline and admission of lawyers). So I think this matters basically zero.

I’ve had the same experiences and my jail name is taco bell (because when I got asked what I did to end up in jail I responded ‘all I was trying to was go to taco bell… they grabbed me on the way out of my apartment complex!’. I grew up poor like you, I worked retail and call centers. I was a minority in most of the neighborhoods I grew up in. I totally agree about our mutual privilege.
I feel like BLM could have gotten a lot more support from poor whites than it did because of the exact experiences we had. It’s not like poor whites and the cops have a great relationship. They don’t fuck us up as bad as they do equivalently poor black people, but I’d be willing to bet our experiences with law enforcement are much worse than global norms for how citizens experience law enforcement. We hate and fear the cops, just to a slightly lesser degree than black people.
All of that being said I get all of your points about BLM being BLM and that outside groups like that’s messaging isn’t something you can control from within the Donkey party. You’re absolutely right. I’ll happily retract my criticisms of the messaging of a 3rd party group that organically grew out of outrage about police violence in the African American community.

Super Mr Leeds 
I have really enjoyed the recent debates here. Good showing to all.

Black and brown people are slaves to the criminal justice system, poor whites are but indentured servants.
I would assume the AG technically doesn’t even need to be an attorney. I know it’s tradition for the AG to argue a case per SCOTUS session or something but it’s not required
I’m concerned they will succeed in having him disbarred…only for the GOP to say so what, keep him as AG, and further prove all you need to thrive in the GOP is undying loyalty
I’ve only ever worked at one company that offered a 401(k) and I work in accounting/finance. A lot of small companies don’t even provide the option.
The New York City Bar Association has nothing to do with barring/disbarring lawyers so I don’t think I would worry too much.

I mean on one hand it’s an eye-roll worthy offer and they probably should donate it anyways, but on the other hand Stephanie Grisham can go fuck herself for being an utterly worthless piece of shit.

My immediate answer was “of course, Biden” but the more I remember how godafwul the NYT is, I gotta wonder if Bloomberg or Klob are gonna get it.
