I haven’t tried to log into my account for a few weeks because LinkedIn is a cesspool. When I logged in just now (with a passkey, btw), it brought me to this page.

I’ve had this account for over a decade and used it to get my current position. I don’t want to use LinkedIn, but it’s pretty much a requirement in my industry.

I’m not sure if I should cave or what. I read the privacy policy for Persona’s ID verification and it states that the data is immediately destroyed after verification, or held for three years.

This shit should be fucking illegal, and yet, in much of the world, it’s being made enforced legislation. Fuck any company and politician that supports, funds, or operates this bullshit.

    Most people that only get their news from the big 3 barely knew he existed. He was blackballed by his party. No one would cover him, even when he was the 2nd most popular.

      He’s not a democrat, he’s not in the party, the primary was fine just nobody voted for him. He overwhelmingly lost to Hillary, like it wasn’t remotely close and any DNC fuckery wasn’t making any difference but everyone still believes the ruspublican misinfo about it. Registered democrats and primary voters overwhelmingly, like two to one picked Hillary. And I’m not sure how old you are but he was covered extensively in the media, there was no blackout like you’re implying, but then you seem to think he was in the dem party too so you obviously need to check your information.

        I’m in my 40’s. I watched the coverage. Hillary won the vote by plenty. Because Sanders had almost no televised news or media coverage beforehand.

          He had regular nationwide coverage. The real issue was the news media was almost exclusively covering anything Trump did and largely ignored the other candidates. Hillary won the primary because progressives and leftists mostly don’t vote. But democrats do, and the democrats that vote in primaries are certainly not voting for Bernie. So, had the leftists and progressives took part the primary Bernie may have won. As it is they didn’t and he didn’t, anything else is cope. America mostly thinks leftists and progressives and socialists are as bad or worse than actual nazis because bOtH sIDes and enlightened centrism and the fact that American culture is fascist as fuck in general. This is America, and it shouldn’t be surprising that Bernie didn’t even come close and yet here we are. He fucking soundly fairly lost.
