Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
AGF, the bottom line is that the stuff you cited said that polls showed Generation Z voted differently. That's not what the polls showed. That's the point.AZGrizFan wrote:It’s not me saying that. But again, I get it that it’s not a poll that fits your narrative.JohnStOnge wrote:

It's not that the polls showed something that don't fit my "narrative." It's that the polls have not shown that this "Generation Z" has voted anything other than overwhelmingly Democrat.
If I looked at the exit polling data and they showed that there was some sign of people born from the mid 1990s through the mid 2000s voting anything other than overwhelmingly Democrat I would be fine with saying so. But they don't show that. They don't even remotely suggest it.

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
Ok AZG I made an honest effort to see what I can see in polling data about this Generation Z. Maybe I could be more respectful in the way I say things. Like maybe I could avoid saying things like "you're kidding yourself." But everything I'm seeing suggests that they are a plus for the Democrats.AZGrizFan wrote:It’s not me saying that.

The first thing I'll reference is the story at https://theconversation.com/generation- ... ons-104735 just because it opens with this statement:
That brings us back to what exit polling estimates for how the 18 through 24 year old age group voted during the 2018 House elections. The linked article was written shortly before the 2018 elections. You can see an estimate of how the 18 through 24 group voted at https://www.cnn.com/election/2018/exit- ... al-results. The estimate is that 18 through 24 year olds voted for Democrats by 68% to 31%.Unlike the much-studied millennials, we don’t know much about Generation Z, who now make up most of the 18- to 24-year-old voting bloc.
The other thing is the article on Pew Research polling at http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2019/01/ ... al-issues/.
There are a lot of interesting things in it, but I think the bottom line is reflected by the headline. That headline is:
As far as individual results go: That poll has 30% of Generation Z people and 29% of Millennials, for example, approving of Trump's job. Very similar.Generation Z Looks a Lot Like Millennials on Key Social and Political Issues

I don't know how much it'll actually hurt them though. I don't think the key is trying to get through to Trump zombies. They are a lost cause. Not rational. Like people in a cult. The key to me is to get that majority of the People who don't like Trump or the job he's doing to turn out. And I don't know if going on Fox News for a debate or not going is going to be a factor impacting that.

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
On that graph he showed showing Fox News as having the highest single percentage of persons citing it as a news source: The "on the other hand" is that Fox News is the only right-leaning source on the list. You could just eyeball it and come up with the same conclusions you'd get by searching for those news entities at mediabiasfactcheck.com/methodology/. At that site CNN and MSNBC are "Left" bias sources while NBC, ABC, CBS, NPR, and the New York Times are "Left-Center" bias sources. If you add up the percentages saying they use some source that leans left to some extent it's 39%.Pwns wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdhyioTtMnM

Regardless, BDK was disingenuous with that post. There are several articles of the same ilk including this one from Matt Welch at Reason http://time.com/4121126/bernie-sanders- ... socialism/ which are kind enough to admit in the headline that the quotes are from decades ago rather than BDK's boogeyman tactics.
Has Bernie softened his views on economics or is he lying to get votes and if elected will push us off the marxist cliff? Debatable (and Welch does a good job as usual arguing the free market side) but at least it should be an honest debate that makes an attempt to avoid the pinko-commie dismissals.
http://time.com/4121126/bernie-sanders- ... socialism/Democratic socialism, Sanders said, is not tied to any Marxist belief or the abolition of capitalism. “I don’t believe government should own the means of production, but I do believe that the middle class and the working families who produce the wealth of America deserve a fair deal,” he said.
I just don't see a huge difference in wielding the anti-commie sword versus wielding the anti-feudalism sword. We're a mixed market economy and we're really just arguing degrees of economic regulation.

Re: 2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread
I think Sanders probably does believe in those things he said 50 years ago. The problem for conservatives who disagree with those outlooks is that they are in the process of discrediting their point of view by virtue of supporting Donald Trump. Conservative support of Donald Trump makes ultimate victory by those who hold Sanders' points of view more likely.
