Sure, but there are loads of shady corporate interests that funnel dark money into our elections, and I don’t believe that Russian troll farms did more to effect the election than the 2 billion dollars in free coverage Donald Trump got from our own media. 

““I do want to assure you that the US intelligence community is well postured to counter Russia, China, Iran or anyone else who is trying to exert influence over the American people and our election process,” Dan Coats, Director of National Intelligence, told Purdue University on Tuesday.”

I think a prohibition tactic will always fail, and something I would like to avoid as a socialist is a system where the rich can have guns by virtue of having the time and money to jump through the hurdles while the poor are effectively disarmed. Im uncomfortable with our armed militarized police and I believe any…

Literally the case in Florida. 

Joe Biden was picked as VP because he was very different from Obama in almost every way.

Its only a matter of time before he says something like “Gimme a break, millenials are entitled whiners” re AOC. 

Don’t tell the Miami City Commission that, they’ve never met a real estate development scheme they didn’t fast track.

I would say the difference is that Emerson is more highly regarded and rated as a pollster in general. 

I support anything that gives Malik Yoba more screen time. I loved the original NY Undercover, great cop show. Also loved Yoba in Alphas. 

Dont be so thin skinned

I largely agree with you. This comments section needs a few firebrands and gut-pokers to keep it interesting though, and a far left perspective which seems to be the minority on a leftist blog. I like it here though, I think Ill stay this time :)

“Wanna fix health care? We can’t because some people might lose their jobs.”

Latest polling from Emerson has Biden in the lead but with a very surmountable 8pt lead.

I wouldn’t take the troll comments too seriously- Its the equivalent of the “Youre a russian bot” comment expressed in places like reddit whenever an unpopular opinion is raised. I was around years ago when the famous tomatoface was around, personally I think its incredible that his specter still haunts the ol’…

We live in a country where the most socialist politician is Bernie Sanders, and we both know very well that he is far, far, far from being an actual socialist. If I can’t have my Angry Grandpa as President then Warren is the only other acceptable option of the dems who are running, everyone else is just bad.

Latest polling I think is also very good for Harris, Warren and (ugh) Mayor Pete. Pretty bad for Beto and everyone else. I do like Warren a lot, my personal opinion is that Warren and Sanders are the only two candidates who would be decent presidents.

Personally - and yes I am a biased Sanders supporter - I think this is where we start seeing Biden take some serious hits. Up until now he has been riding the post announcement wave and hasn’t been forced to take a position on anything. I think even the most ardent Biden supporter will acknowledge that Biden’s path is…

You’re a dumb take. 

“Beto’s approach has so far largely consisted of standing on tables and speaking in platitudes,”
