"I Just Got 'Push Polled' by Hillary Clinton’s Nevada Campaign."

INTERVIEWER: “Hmmm, okay. So, what if I were to tell you The Washington Post said that Bernie Sanders’ campaign promises would cost more than $20 trillion and would raise everyone’s taxes — would you now be “more likely’ or ‘less likely” to vote for Sanders, or has your opinion remained unchanged?”

ME: “That’s not accurate at all. I read that editorial last week. I could tear that completely to shreds. How much time DO YOU HAVE? Let me to set the record straight and explain to you how The Post post misrepresented several of Sanders policy positions.”

INTERVIEWER: “Ummmmm. Uhhhhhhh. So, would you now be “more likely’ or ‘less likely” to vote for Sanders, or has your opinion remained unchanged?”

ME: “My position remains unchanged, because the premise of the question isn’t just misleading. It’s wrong. Do you understand that?”

Has a Dem candidate ever been booed at a primary debate

in the age of television? It happened tonight, of course, when Hillary said "artful smear." I can't remember it occurring before.

Are you OK with continuing the bipartisan Goldman Sachs monopoly

on Treasury cabinet appointments? Just wondering how people feel about criminal welfare kings rigging WHOOPS running our economy.

True or false:

Hillary called herself a moderate on September 10, 2015. Yes or no? So Clintonian. So crickets.

Why is America a backward country?

Bernie can't frame the discussion in this way, but I can, because I am not running. While we have made important gains in inclusivity (e.g. LGBT rights), but politically and economically, we have fallen very far.

Why is our health care system an expensive joke? Why is a Republican candidate in danger of being banned from the UK? Why are we a rogue super power addicted to regime change against all international law? Why do we lead the world in childhood poverty and incarceration?

Why do native people on some reservations have a life expectancy of a third world country? Why aren't white Americans referred to as terrorists when they engage in terrorism? Why do we subsidize Big Oil while it is destroying the planet? Why don't we have universal voter registration? Why is our electoral system based on legalized bribery? Why are corporate media licensed while having plain biases in opposition to the public interest in free and fair debates and fair reportage? Why is our public educational system under funded and our voters abysmally under-informed? Why are people expected to work for starvation wages?

When will Bernie go last at a town hall forum?

There have been at least two of these now and I believe Hillary has gone last each time (a putative advantage). Why didn't Bernie go last tonight? Will he ever. Why does every institutional advantage go to Hillary as if that is divinely ordained, rather than being discussed as further evidence of Establishment media bias for Hillary?

I used to think there was no point to posting in this forum.

But I see enough people on DU switching their minds to think posting may be worthwhile.

I thought this was pretty good:

My support for Bernie Sanders is about the future and what it holds for us and our children,” Neal said. “A Sanders presidency will lead to access to quality healthcare, tuition-free higher education, expanding and securing social security, putting controls on Wall Street, and securing a $15 minimum wage that will strengthen the middle class. I also share Sen. Sanders’ commitment to ending mass incarceration and reforming our broken criminal justice system.
