Bernie Sanders and ‘the American mainstream’

[merrily]

7. IOW, based on your personal feeling, you are going to disregard all the polls in my post.

I am not sure how to discuss anything with someone who does that. No matter what I say, your personal feeling is going to win the day with you.

Some of those polls were as high as 80%. No way that many people said what they said simply because they thought it was pc. BTW, judging by message boards, a lot on the right think it's more pc to say "stop picking on the rich," than it is to say, "raise taxes on the rich."

I also don't think Christie's election proves a thing. He ran against Korzine, whose campaign platform was basically, "how fat is my opponent, amirite?"

I don't know a lot about Rick Scott, except that Rick Scott, like Scott Brown, had a ton of Koch money and expertise behind him.

Lots of factors go into each election. You can't rightfully use this election or that to conclude all the polls in my post are wrong and people do not lean left on actual issues.
