So Black folks are the problem? Our neighborhoods are poor because successful Black folks leave them? Wow!

Literacy in Cuba is around 99.8%, and has consistently been at 98% or above for decades. Pointing out that fact is not praising their political system or its leaders. It’s just a fact.

We’ve all been stuck in 2016 for four years now. Maybe Biden losing to Trump will allow us to move forward.

Every time anyone on this site throws around the name Putin, Russia, or Russian bot it lets me know that you consume a steady diet of corporate media. Try some alternative sources.

Once again. Provide evidence of Sanders bashing VOTERS and I’ll concede your point. His idea of the establishment is the party leadership and their corporate benefactors. I’m not even going to argue with you. You need to read some alternative news sites. Find some news sites that provide a counter to the mainstream, co…

Biden has all of Hillary’s weaknesses and very few of her strengths. He’s just as corrupt and subservient to Wall Street as Clinton, and he has early-stage dementia. 2016 all over again with the same outcome.

I agree. If Bernie becomes the nominee we will have never Berners the way there are supposedly never Trumpers. The difference will be that the never Berners actually won’t vote for sanders and not just pretend the way the never Trumpers do.

I see your point.

Scientific theories exist as do scientific laws. They are are not the same thing and don’t confuse the two. Political science is not science in any meaningful way. It’s all theory. And this particular theory that Mr. Poli-Sci grad wannabe tried to throw out doesn’t even hold true across multiple societies. It’s junk.

When all else fails, rely on Red-baiting/Russiagate, right? I’m not on FB so I wouldn’t know about that. I’m not on any social media sites. I don’t get any of my news from social media. The fact that you do says a lot about you. Choose better news sources, friend. Here’s a few to get you started. Or you can just…

A Trump re-election is preferable to a Sanders election to the Dem establishment. Trump doesn’t threaten their power and position of privilege the way Sanders does. That’s why they’re absolutely shitting themselves with fear and their efforts to screw Sanders over are even more naked than 2016. That’s why the DNC…

The word law shouldn’t be used for any concept outside of the realm of actual quantifiable science. Political science is theory based. It holds no actual scientific value. Duverger’s theory is outdated junk science.

I didn’t realize that half the electorate was billionaires and corporations. Provide evidence of Sanders bashing actual Democrat voters and I’ll concede your point.

Pete took one for the establishment team. The DNC is quite literally prepared to destroy the party if it has to to prevent Bernie from being the nominee. If the oligarchs can’t drive the car they’ll drive it off a cliff.

As an aside. If Jason Johnson isn’t held accountable in some way for his public statements then any article in the Root about misogynoir means nothing anymore.

It’s the Root so don’t hold your breath, fam.

So, unless a Dem candidate increases voter turnout the way Obama did he/she will lose? If that’s the case we’re fucked because that will likely never happen again. You might as well not vote for anyone if that’s the metric you measure a candidate by. And for the record, I never compared Sanders’ turnout to Obama’s. I…

I won’t vote for Bloomberg should he be the eventual nominee. No fucking way!

Nah. The time for socialism is now. We’re either going socialist as a nation of full blown corporate fascism. Get on board. The struggle is ongoing.

I agree. Polls are generally meaningless. Most of the people who would vote for Sanders don’t respond to polls. That’s why, even though polls are generally meaningless, these results matter.
