so income inequality is good, because racism is bad? No, just that implying income inequality between 1% and 99% is the only metric that matters isn't accurate. Income inequality is by far the most important metric when discussing how succesful leftism is in a country. I know you've forgotten, but ...

It's like you guys have never seen an actual troll. Ear asks reasonable questions that rarely get answered, instead he gets called names, and somehow he's the troll. At this point I feel like you're just using the "you're a troll" narrative to get out of having to answer hard questions ab...

Intentionally oversimplifying or stupid?

If he didn't, than no candidate does. You mean other candidates don't have a coalition with the progressive side of the party? That's true and a valid criticism, but that doesn't mean it's any less of a valid criticism that Sanders made no (or a half-assed) attempt to build a coalition with the exi...

Krystal spot on, as usual. https://twitter.com/krystalball/status/1250204187922702341?s=21 That's not spot on at all. It's not why he lost. If anything he lost because he was too focused on his own movement and didn't try to build a coalition with the existing democratic party. He had a coalition, ...

I base my views on more than just that article, I just think it's a very good one. Yes, things are always more nuanced than they seem at a distance but regardless, Orban's government seems to me like a clear cut case of anti-democracy. Much like the GOP in the US, law and justice in Poland, etcetera...

\In a democrats vs progressives vs Trump election Trump would never get over 50%. It's funny how so many of the America experts in Europe reveal themselves to know absolutely nothing about the country beyond whatever memes they got from the media. But maybe the issue isn't so much ignorance as it i...

I think you are mistaking us for some other country. We're not the media's favourite black sheep, that is Hungary. Even though, even that case is debatable. Define debatable? Orban is pretty obviously bad news. I wonder what about this case you consider "debatable"? It's debatable because...

Who's "they"? I'm curious about those 18 articles and how many of those I would define as "smear". I've noticed a pattern with Bernie supporters that if an article isn't praising him into the heavens, it's "smearing" him. Having said that, I think it's probable that mai...

I was told by n0el that the washingtonpost is bad. Uh huh. All mainstream media are bad. Only twitter and youtube commentators who make no attempt at objectivity are good, because they tell us exactly what we want to hear. They did seem unreasonably anti-Bernie. I don't think they are an objective ...

Who knows if anyone cares about objectivity anymore, but I found this a pretty objective and well-researched article about the sexual assault allegation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sexual-assault-allegation-by-former-biden-senate-aide-emerges-in-campaign-draws-denial/2020/04/12/bc070d66...

I haven't seen him do that anywhere.

Also, you're brainwashed and don't understand how politics works.

Imagine thinking someone is brainwashed for voting against Trump no matter what Is that far out? do you think ppl who vote for DEms are not brainwashed? "vote blue no matter who"" how do that differ from Trump? seriously. Really? How does that differ from Trump? Are you genuinely ask...

@spanky4ever Can you try to be a little more respectful to people you disagree with? I feel like you're not even trying.
