I understand that flossing has a pretty flimsy evidential basis (despite being recommended by almost every dentist).

I fact-checked one point somewhat at random (admittedly it jumped out as particularly improbable):

There’s no logical reason that “deep-seated issues need to be resolved *before* any meaningful change can be made”. You might as well say that we ought to train everyone on the safe use of a turkey fryer *before* extinguishing any house fires.

No, you don’t have to be a professional bank robber to obtain guns *in the US today*, since the US today has (by, say, European standards) virtually no gun control. Yes, guns are hard to control in DC (I lived there for a long time) where you can literally take a metro ride to VA; gun control will have to be enacted

“Less likely”? Gimme a break. It’s virtually impossible - how many bystanders have been killed in stranglings?

Had he used his bare hands to kill his wife, how probable would fatal injuries to an eight year-old bystander have been?

‘The two children were standing behind Smith at the time of the shooting, [Police Chief] Burguan said. “We have no reason to believe the students were targeted,” he said.’

So your best citation for the claim that Sanders only cares about “middle-class white people” (having dismissed all his actual policy proposals) is a paraphrase of a remark that the left needs *working-class* white people?
