Are you serious? Holy Moly!
I also read the Washington post, watch Rachel Maddow and also, gasp, like Jim Jefferies. I am also a member of Democracy Now and the Real News Network. I watch CNN too - oh and also BBC, France 24 and

I read books too!!! Would you like a list of my latest purchases?

Here is what I wrote at the link. I find nothing in this shameful. It is curious to me why you would want to point this out. Sorry if you are offended. Hopefully, like me, you'll get over it, and we can have a helpful discussion.


I'm quite sure to get myself into trouble, if not today, certainly tomorrow, or if I find my bigger self, I will be hiding till November. I found DU on google some years ago, lurking forever, not wanting to intrude as a foreigner. Someone had written a surprisingly non-msm progressive article that caught my eye.

It was so refreshing in contrast to the picture we Canadians are fed of RW, warmongering, Empire building, gun-tottin' Americans. Of course, I knew you were out there! I'd been following Democracy Now, The Real News, Thom Hartman, etc. that mirrored my world view of us all born as lovers, where false gods with false promises inevitably lead to mistrust and inequality.

Here at DU, I found that love that extends past borders and biospheres.

I've been waiting and advocating for a time like now since my youth - everything points to this revolution that Sanders has so selflessly championed. It's happening all over the world, and the challenges to change are becoming not only more insipiently dangerous, but simultaneously more transparent with citizen journalism. They can't keep it up. Keep strong!

I've come to recognize names here and happily read your posts. It gives me strength and hope.

Maybe its just this primary business, and November will bring back some democratic discussion here - but for now, or until the axe falls, a fond adieu. See you in JPR.

Your statistics are wrong. Fresh_Start Aug 2017 #2
What are you looking at? floppyboo Aug 2017 #4
Ahhh...this is 2017 not 2011. And down here we have right-leaning polls and left-leaning ones brush Aug 2017 #11
So where are your numbers? I've looked at them many times and not seen the GOP with that lead. pnwmom Aug 2017 #49
I saw those numbers on the link you provided, but they only show 2 parties floppyboo Aug 2017 #58
I think the the other assumption you're making is that most of those "independents" pnwmom Aug 2017 #60
That may be - and certainly seems to be true as that poll shows floppyboo Aug 2017 #61

Me giving them the advantage? I just read numbers. nt floppyboo Aug 2017 #6
You need to get a better source. Your numbers are wrong. brush Aug 2017 #8
I'm guessing you meant to address the poster who put the poll #'s up? floppyboo Aug 2017 #15
You will not find such a source, because only 31 states enable voters to register by party. pnwmom Aug 2017 #50
I also didn't find what I thought I had seen. Just polls, no actual numbers floppyboo Aug 2017 #51
You are also overlooking the fact that some partisans are strategic voters. pnwmom Aug 2017 #52
Kasich in Ohio? Didn't this happen there? floppyboo Aug 2017 #54

My Problem With Bernie DownriverDem Aug 2017 #21
Bernie votes and caucuses with the Dems. tiredtoo Aug 2017 #27
