    You're literally the worst influencer I've ever come across here, and almost anywhere in my professional life.  And if you can't influence, you're not worth shit in this world.

    Mao: 25 to 45 million? Should we split the difference at 35 million?
    Still haven’t made it to colonialism’s total  
    Oh for ffs the eastern bloc was colonialism. Colonialism isn’t just capitalism, communism has had it s share of colonialism.  
    How many people did Stalin kill?  
    Agreed. Our resident genius does not understand crossovers of economic, political, and social systems.  He only understands what to call trans.  
    Let me guess, you also took some classes on that?
    I already told you I have a history degree. I went to grad school and finished up until I had to do my last work, and then flipped to business school. Mostly because I discovered academics don't make shit.  Age of Jackson specialty.  
    I know, you tried to posture about that yesterday. Til I told you that’s something I teach.

    If you teach history, you don't know shit about it.  It's clear you never studied the social impacts of the economic system for which you advocate.  So basically, I think you're full of shit, as you have been for 48 hours.

    And you have literally the largest gap between your intelligence and your sense of how smart you are I’ve seen since I taught some freshmen a while back.

    Well considering my success in my career as a former senior leader at Capital One for 15 years, and now an executive vice president at a company that does a billion in revenue and 250M in ebit, I really don't care what you think.  The freshmen couldn't do my job and you'd be fired in a week from the mailroom for not being able to convince a soul what to have for lunch. That's pretty much where you sit in the scale of success.

    Maybe I'll hire you to type of some of my kids' term papers, would that be fair?  What's your tutor rate?

    Right-wing nutjobs. Google George Cicarello-Maher. I don’t want to end up like him.

    Ah okay.. only your alleged intelligence is open for discussion.  Well okay, considering about 20 people engaged you in the last 48 hours, and you managed to win over.... let me see... oh yeah.  zero.  Well that's pretty impressive.  Brains, influence, leadership, you have the whole package don't you?

    the dems are centrist, or just slightly left of center. you compare them to most European "leftist" parties and the dems are still to the right of them. the progressives are the wing of the democrats that have a loud voice, so it makes the party seem more to the left than it is. centrist democrats, to me, are the problem.
    And what is the solution? I ask that as a serious question. 
    start by moving in the direction of your base. the demographic being called "centrist" is getting smaller and smaller, while the majority of people are moving to one side or the other. the dems need to be out in front on this and be proactive instead of being reactive.
    really? 43% plus as unaffiliated? suggest center left or right and that was BEFORE trump got elected.
