I appreciate solid reporting (and solid data points). If Sanders is gaining traction (somewhere) I say more power to him. But I think I'm going to have to see a few polls that confirm this trajectory.

17. USA sexism. Warren is not strong enough to beat the incumbent.

Nov 2019

Early this year I was supporting Warren. Realizing many men will not vote for a woman (no matter what), and the incumbent destroys women as a pastime, I began to study policy and realize. It will have to be a man this time.
Check out Sanders' policies. Watch a rally. He is amazing and has thought about these issues we struggle with his whole life. Sanders will fight for the people and can beat the incumbent.

21. I am confused. Greenwald tweets his data, citing a source I haven't heard of before, which in turn
Sat Nov 16, 2019, 02:24 PM
Nov 2019

tweeted the results of a Reuters poll (the tweet in question may be a few tweets down the page by now), which in turn gives a link to an Ipsos poll (https://fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/mkt/12/8684/8604/Topline%20Reuters%202020%20Election%20Tracker%2011%2014%202019.pdf), which shows Biden polling at 23% and Sanders at 18%.

WTF? Is this what makes Greenwald conclude that people are starting to believe Sanders can win??? I wish I could get my hands on the stuff he is smoking...
