An amusingly long screed from a “progressive.”
[Afternoon update]
Sanders fracking ban would kill jobs and drive up utility bills, hurting the poor most of all.
Gee, it’s almost as though he doesn’t care about poor people as much as he says he does. Either that, or he’s an imbecile. Of course, those aren’t mutually exclusive.
I’m thinking the lady likes to hear herself talk. Wayyy too long, and besides, she’ll vote Democrat even if he’s the candidate which implies that she’s too dumb to actually deserve any attention at all.
I have to say, I did a little research myself. She is a near 1%’r, would definitely be one if she didn’t have NYC living expenses. Partner in the prestigious Manhattan law firm Becker-Glynn which specializes in contract & real estate litigation. The pay for an attorney there is none too bad. A partner would earn considerably more. Given that fact, *maybe* she did long diatribe pro bono, maybe….

Wow, a progressive who actually believes in the laws of mathematics. That’s quite shocking.
He’s definitely got Sanders’ number on the sheer preposterousness of his monetary claims, and kudos to him for checking Sanders’ senate record – it’s even worse than I’d imagined.
My favorite part;
“So I concluded that the backbone of Sanders’ plan is founded on, functionally, a lie.”
Well, of course it is; Sanders is a socialist, and socialism is always founded on lies because it has to be – it never works, and the numbers never add up.
If you check on “his” CV, you’ll see why she is good at math…
Oops, mea culpa.
She has something exceedingly rare on the left; the mathematical skill-set to do basic math (such as realize that 5% is larger than 4%). Therefor, her line of reasoning will have no impact on most Sanders supporters – because if they could count, they wouldn’t be Sanders supporters.
So, because they can’t count, they count, but if they could count they wouldn’t count.
Sounds like socialism all right.
This lady is playing with fire. She trots out example after example of Sanders indulging in what we on the Right have come to refer to as “virtue signaling.” She even disapproves! Over-reliance on such cis-hetero-male-normative concepts as facts, logic and evidence could lead her to do something unthinkable – like apply them to Hillary as well as Bernie. After that, it’s a long, bumpy slide down the slippery slope to rationality and conservatism. The horror!
I was thinking something similar. It would be impossible to read this and continue to support Sanders. Clinton should get the same treatment.
Actually Cruz and Trump should get the same treatment as well, but instead we get style over substance. Rand knows Trump is a con man and his voters are marks so why bother with evidence?
Evidence that Cruz isn’t what he claims and shares the ineffectiveness of Sanders will be ignored… unless Cruz gets in office and spends four years proving what he actually is.
Trump will not apologize for America. Find another like that and I’d support him or her.
Cruz doesn’t apologize for America. For that matter, neither does Kasich. If that’s your only criterion, you have a wealth of candidates.
