Bernie holding the Democratic party at arm’s length except during a presidential election is the most relatable thing about him tbh.

Yup. The biggest issue is that reviewers often don’t get paid, they are just doing it voluntarily and aren’t incentivized to put in the amount of time it takes to properly vet this stuff. In my field the guy’s lack of affiliation would have been enough to get him a rejection, but I’m guessing the clinical research…

Oof you're really stupid....

Was it though? Just because he wasn't asked personally doesn't alone mean the data is bad. Like, even a representative sample is still only a SAMPLE.

You don’t know how statistics work. I’m sorry your education failed you.

Women in prison in the US undergo forced sterilization. They also get forced IUDs that many are too poor to ever remove. But prolifers dgaf.

Bernie is a man and so agism is less effective on him.

This is called derailing and it's a bad argument.

But... Even disciplines like psychology need rigorous proof before they recommend treatment. Without it anyone claiming to help you is wasting your time and money.

Abstinence is not effective birth control in a world where you can be raped. Your chances of being raped are higher than the chances an iud or hormonal birth control (taken correctly) can fail. Condemns suffer from the same problem.

You identified the logical flaw in your argument and.... Kept going?

So like... Are you suggesting that these people on food stamps would have been able to afford tens of thousands of dollars in hospital bills if they had just managed their money better by not buying an iPhone?

California routinely wins wine competitions in France...

LOL you are hilarious

Yes definitely the present increase in homelessness has to do with California’s only recent good weather and nothing to do with current hoping prices and the severe decreases in government assisted affordable housing. /S

Actually SF and the Bay area is an outlier. We have a phenomenon of working homeless, meaning people who hold down full time jobs but can’t afford a place to live.

The polls most certainly were not right, they were making predictions about the electoral college.

You’re backing up his claim that tech is a meritocracy when it’s not. He uses one piece of evidence that somewhat supports his pov but ignores the large body of evidence that proves him wrong. He's being irresponsible with data and you're defending him.

The average time served by a convicted rapist is six months

The helium in balloons will be prohibitively expensive in a few years. I hate to say it, but the free market has ore backs on this one.
