What a perfect analogy, now let's talk about why your company only opened up the application process to two ancient terrible people.

Oh well that's easy:

They had connections.

Networking is a bitch.

Plus one of the former applicants was accused of both communism and antisemitism, the latter just due to not being 1000% pro-Israel and despite being Jewish himself. One another had "bad vibes", people called her a "warhawk", and called the former guy's fans misogynist bros.

Can you imagine having to put up with Bernie bros for 4 years? We really dodged a bullet there, guys!

I remember that time...

The propaganda was so strong some liberal black content creators called "socialists" as "having anti-black and misogynistic biases" because we could just fix capitalism to be not bigoted. Fortunately, they got better on this front.

Lots of people in the US have anti-black and misogynistic biases. Some of them happen to be socialists.

This is, in fact, a problem I have with some socialists. They think that solving economic issues will solve everything. You can't have people being shot dead in the streets by police and then tell them "Yes, I realize this is very concerning for you, but we need to really focus on the economy".

Many of those economic issues are a source for other problems. Resolving them may not solve the other problems, but those other problems also can't be solved without dealing with one of the major causes first.

It's like having a house with a giant crack in the wall, and some people want to fix the foundation while some want to fix the crack. Fixing the foundation isn't going to fix the crack, but if you fix the crack without fixing the foundation, it's just going to break open again.
