It is true, and you and the others are too lazy to prove otherwise anyway.

Thank you for proving my prior statement, Mr.Gobbledygook.

Here was your answer.

I can provide either facts or sound logic to back up every one of my claims.

That is not gobbledygook. Why don't you ask for proof? Worried he is right? You bet you are.

🚨WAPO EXIT POLL: 6 in 10 New Hampshire Democratic primary voters support eliminating all private health insurance in favor of a single-payer plan for everyone.

57 percent agreed with that position in Iowa, too

It is a real shame people are that ignorant of the cost and utter confusion it would cause.

new NBC projection: Warren & Biden will be under 15% statewide AND in both congressional districts.

that would mean 0 national pledged delegates for them; Sanders, Buttigieg, Klobuchar would split the 24 available delegates.

Google Provides Six-Figure Sum to Liberal Outlet With History of Genocide Denial

This guy is a progressive. Armenians were murdered because of their religion and Hitler had nothing to do with it. Although the silence on that genocide emboldened him to use the "final solution".

Google must know this, and I wonder why they would support him. Google is dangerous to freedom( and so is the jerk they gave money to) and they keep proving it.

Quote:

The "Young Turks" was a liberal-minded movement that instigated a revolution in the Ottoman Empire in 1908 but later carried out the Armenian genocide during the First World War. Hamparian called on Google to force channel executives to reckon with the historical baggage of the name.

"The Young Turks—like the Khmer Rouge or Nazis—is a name that should never be normalized—all the more so because Turkey continues to lie about its crimes and obstruct the justice owed their Christian victims,"

Looks like more people voted for regressives; in fact the majority of votes cast were for regressives — even when adding Gabbard and Yang's votes to the immoderate total.)

Power of manufactured corporate media narratives is evident in the Klobuchar "surge." Up 10-15% in the span of a few days because the media uniformly declared her the "winner" of the last debate. This is especially crucial in volatile primary races when people decide late. Stupid

What's "stupid" here? What's the context? Sanders barely squeaks out a win over "Wall Street Pete", Warren and Biden tank, and this guy's still looking at media coverage of the last debate?

@hightor,

He's pointing out media primary generated momentum vs real movement generated momentum. Of the existing group Bernie by far has received the most negative treatment.

@Brand X,

It’s very clear that manufactured media narratives can orchestrate voter response.

I'm very interested in a Klobuchar/Buttigeig ticket. Midwest values tempered with sanity may sway back some of the democrats we lost. So, we'll have to see what's next.

@Brand X,

Let's say that a candidate actually has a good night at a debate. Is there something wrong with that being called attention to and reported? From interviews with NH voters over the weekend a lot of people said they were impressed with Sen. Klobuchar's performance and evidently a good number of those people voted for her yesterday. The coverage in the NY Times said that Sanders had a good night in the Friday debate as well, but you don't see a corresponding surge in the votes cast yesterday. It looks like Sanders has locked up the left-wing vote but there's still a race going on among the other candidates so the talk of "momentum" doesn't seem that specious. It's possible that "movement momentum" has peaked and "media momentum" might be where the action is now — that doesn't make it illegitimate. Nor "stupid".

This is only anecdotal, but I have heard many interviews of people who say they will vote for whomever is selected at the Democratic convention, as getting rid of President Plump is their primary goal.

I love getting even when I get screwed by someone. ... Always get even. When you are in business you need to get even with people who screw you. You need to screw them back 15 times harder. You do it not only to get the person who messed with you but also to show the others who are watching what will happen to them if they mess with you. If someone attacks you, do not hesitate. Go for the jugular.

Donald Trump, "Think Big" published 2009.

In terms of a leadership ethos, this is unarguably far closer to a Mafia boss or Genghis Khan or Stalin than to any prior American president. And yet, Trump's followers are quite delighted with what this guy is up to.

How American conservatism has come to this point is very interesting historically and psychologically. But of course that is rather like saying the holocaust or the bubonic plague or Russian pogroms are interesting subjects of study. They are.

@blatham,

It's awful early for that much hyperbole.
