    Math, you say?

    I don't agree that math is always accurate so I don't agree with everything about this video, but you asked!

    Regardless of ones views on race, polls, super delegates, mythical gods etc, math is indeed always accurate.

    He needs to win something like 65% of the remaining pledged delegates. He won with 51% last night. So, I believe, the long odds of him winning actually got worse

    Much worse.

    Statistics can be applied in anyone's favor, as long as they cherry pick what they want to explain it how they want. But math is never wrong.

    And I find it funny that people think that Hillary isn't liberal/left-leaning. Seems like you have to be in a goddamn guerrilla coalition to be considered "liberal" here, haha.

    I can't wait for the convention here, though. Gonna be some interesting shit. Thank God I'm biking every day now with the weather being better, and won't have to take the subway.

    Maybe this will encourage a few here to reconsider, Free. Thanks for posting it!

    An important point worth nothing:
    “Democratic super-delegates might have to rethink” their support of Hillary Clinton given how dramatically better Sanders fares in head-to-head match-ups against Donald Trump.

    One can dream I suppose. The premise continues to be false. Do you think Trump has never attacked Bernie because he doesn't have anything to say about Bernie? I read in exit polling from WV that 4 in 10 Sanders supporters would not support Sanders against Trump in a general. This is why you don't have open primaries.

    I'm thinking West Virginia won't go blue this election anyway but that could be a problem in some purple states, no?

    I think it's true right wing voters just crossing over and voting, particularly now that Trump has won. In other words, they came out to vote against Hillary. They were never natural progressive constituents anyway.

    Throw Sanders supporters into that lot. Evidently a 18 trillion dollar entitlement addition to the deficit doesn't bother them. Perhaps they should study a shred of economics and understand how the debt endangers our economy, crowds out private investments, dramatically increases interest rates, etc.

    But isn't Trump going to fix any deficit problems by just printing more money? :/ That'll solve ALL the problems. :dizzy:

    Yeah either printing more money or defaulting. Either one would have horrible consequences for the economy.

    I normally disagree with Billy cuz he's douchy but I think he's 50% right here. Socialism does stifle innovation. I agree with that. But people do have the right to protest to make things better HOWEVER, they don't have to the right to shut down other people's speech. I say this in reference to his Trump statements.

    Last, I'm not pro-Israeli by any stretch, but I find it interesting how much sympathy there is for the Palestinians in the very liberal crowd, considering their total disregard for women's rights and their downright hatred of gays. I'm not really sure what to make of it all.

    i can't really tell what corgan's position is on bernie ... not sure he's actually criticizing him ...

    in any case - socialism stifling innovation is gotta be one of the most obtuse beliefs out there ... c'mon ... really? ... what conservative propaganda piece do people play when they go to bed to believe this stuff ...
