Yeah, seems like emersons primary pollings has been around that range. Seems funny to have a national poll with the same sample size as NH primary poll
Yes. A few data types like Bitecofer have been griping the past two months about how much play they're getting relative to the poll quality.
Some economics people I've read academically also believe colonialism isn't a large factor for why MENA/Africa states are in trouble because it was so "long ago" lmao
Maybe, but voters are weird and doesn't seem to care about endorsements at this point in the primary. It's pretty funny that a large part of Biden and Sanders supporters both have eachothers candidates as their second choice.
Yes, I'm condescending because socialist economics are straight up religion at this point. They're not the only ones- Austrians are the same way.
It has become much more of a hard science in the past few decades as the information age has progressed. And that change has blown up a lot of libertarian ideas about how the world's economies function alongside the socialist ones.
Someone complaining about Pelosi saying that Dems reject socialist economics (a true statement) is an awful take.
Yes, people on the left and right who were heavy on ideological theory have been getting blown up hard by the data, which is why the GOP is straight up rejecting economics now that it's telling them things they don't want to here.
As in a believer in standard counter-cyclical economics and a non-believer in the idiocy that is austerity? Of course.
I've some wild misunderstandings of American politics here but this one is... *chef's kiss*
I guess that all of those house (and senate!) seats the dems lost from 2010 to 2016 dont exist now
Wait.. which of those seats would have been saved by "embracing socialism"?
They gained 40 with Bush's disastrous 5th year, gained 20 more in a recession, and then lost all 60 the moment they actually controlled the Presidency. Then, somehow, the moment they lost the Presidency, they gained 40 more again!
How would embracing this label help Dem candidates win? You're talking about 75 years of baggage and you have to win first to do any of this. I want to see candidates plain speak policies which adopt those humane and equality focused views rather than take on the identity.
How is it cowardly to reject something she disagrees with? She's not a socialist, and no Dem candidate is even a true socialist; some are open to socialist ideas regarding social safety nets or more representation of workers in deliberating the means of production, but even Bernie's economics are still central to capitalism, as are all Democratic Socialist/Social Democratic/Nordic Capitalist countries.
Which two specifically? I didn't read the Bloomberg pieces.

Women and young people do not like capitalism as much as men and older people for some reason.
1) Economics is cyclical (1b) and as such regulation is needed to prevent tragedies)
The GOP has been calling whatever the democrats have been doing socialism since time immemorial. They get scared and run away from policies that people want.
