    I just want to say. I regret posting pics of Joes krazy-kissing if it meant you two starting to bicker like this. It breaks my heart.
    It doesn't take much to get that started.  I prefer to discuss legitimate issues.

    How the candidates treat women is a legitimate issue.

    Democratic socialists treat on average women a lot better than right-wing capitalism jerkers. No disputing that. It's simple MATH.

    So let's go!

    =/=  ? 

    Is that equal divided by equal? 

    Would that be the same as infinity or zero? 

    MATH I'm good with but math is not my strong suit.  :lol:
    So you are saying MATH =/= math 

    Well, no, more like Ecdanc's Equation leads me to thinking, as in "Make America Think Harder", about a subject I am not so strong in- which is math.  The best I could come up with is either "equal divided by equal = infinity"  or "equal divided by equal = zero."  But now that I think HARDER about it (which is difficult to do at 1:10 AM in the AM), I have a feeling the answer to "equal divided by equal" may be one.  Man oh man, I am going to need some good strong coffee in about 7 hours.
    It means ”not equal to”

    The sign for "not equal to is "≠".

    Again, after the dust up in the summer, Biden promised to be more cognizant.  I have not heard of any complaints by women since then.  So these two videos being posted as evidence that he treats women poorly are absolutely without merit unless these two women accuse him of something, which they haven't.  Until then, it's a bunch of patriarchs who know better than the individual women.

    You only know of one Dem Socialist in the US, so... be careful with your statistically significant sample of one.

    A monday treat for Brian. Our man in the gang of the yang

    https://youtu.be/qgy6wZVRnNc

    Thank you! S_C!  Yes, there IS a ton of excitement around Yang's candidacy.   I'm surprised to not see more interest in Yang around here.  I would have guessed more here would think outside the box and see the potential in Yang.  He polls highest among the young.  Maybe you folks are just getting old?  :wink: 

    Seriously though, check him out.  This is real and it's happening.

    You do that.  Maybe she's just a helicopter mom.  Or maybe, you should teach her the proper definition of patriarch used in your field.

    Hardly.  I think Hugh, Ben, Mickey and plenty of others have been interested in what you mean, at least for a short period of time. This includes me.

    How about that Iowa caucus? (And the one on one cage fighting in PMs? Just a thought)

    My prediction is Yang will be a big surprise.

    We are hoping for that!  The support there has been big.  My fingers are crossed!

    Anyone want to make a bet on this iowa caucus? Brian maybe? 

    I bet $20 Pete finishes higher than yang. Loser donates $20 to the other candidates campaign.

    I like the idea but, sorry,  I'm tapped out.  We hit our giving budget hard hard hard to support Yang before Iowa and I sent the last of my "allowance" to Yang last night.

    I would do it. If we would have bet KISS - ALIVE III on vinyl (original release).

    No way.... I think Bernie wins the first two.  He seems to have taken a lot of Warren support.  After super Tuesday,  if she is winless, there will be a ton of pressure to yield.  
    Bernie would be on the inside track because Bloomberg will just be starting to take votes from Biden.
