Of course, I mean, if you properly limit the data pool, you will get much more predictable results.

Progressive International is an international organization uniting progressive left-wing activists and organizations.[1] Its main proponents are Bernie Sanders and Yanis Varoufakis and it was launched by The Sanders Institute and DiEM25. Varoufakis, a co-founder of DiEM25, said in an op-ed that Progressive International is created "to mobilize people around the world to transform the global order and the institutions that shape it".[2] Progressive International was launched in November 30, 2018 at a Sanders Institute event attended by many progressive politicians, economists and activists including Naomi Klein, Cornel West, Fernando Haddad, Jeffrey Sachs, Niki Ashton and Ada Colau.[2][3][4]

and I'm all for an international push for peace, ecosystem restoration, and socialism.

I hope it is a fruitful endeavor.

Wolff had Victor Wallis talking about Ecosocialism (last 15 min) which I found interesting.

Markos and his merry little band of sycophants hate Bernie, Tulsi and AOC in that order. Wonder what all three have in common? Hmmm...Could it be anti-corporatist and anti-establishment positions on many, if not most things? Afterall, they cannot let the common people get in the way big money and the establishment, can they?

For those of us here, we saw through Markos and the corporate media a long time ago. But now, they do not care if their masks have fallen off. After all, Markos has his Tesla and fancy house in Oakland, and used the members of dkos to buy him access to Nancy Pelosi. Wow!

@divineorder

I’m not interested in the future of the Democratic Party. I am only interested in people who are willing to serve a planetary and human agenda.

MORE Democrats winning do not assure us of those willing to make the hard stops needed.

in fact, I’ll go as far to say this: Democrats backing war, fossil fuels, Wall Street, trade deals like TPP are, in the truest sense, climate deniers.

yea. you read that right.

@divineorder It was written by Egberto who was a big Bernie guy before the purge. I never understood why he continued to stay there because I always thought he was more progressive than most of the writers.

is what they should call it.

Citing Markos' poll with the underlying presumptive lie that "Now even Bernie's people are over him."

DK is not now and never was "Bernie's People."

I lurked there for years but never joined, let alone posted anything. IMHO DK and Marcos are the problem not the solution.

Regardless of my views of Sanders and the Democrats, I find this puzzling and horrifying.

You have a national news network citing an unscientific blog poll from some who-gives-a-shit site as data...

And even more frightening is that (some) people accept that.

"This just in, a poll from SandersIsAPooPooHead.com showed him in last place."

Just pathetic.

We had a national news network cite polls during the 2016 primary that had Hillary ahead leaps and bounds ahead of Bernie but never bothered to tell us said polls left out the 18-35 year old demographic.

I guess this is the new normal.

@Strife Delivery

and that is pretty much what the last tweet here said. Todd should be embarrassed that he did that, but then isn't that what he is paid to do? By Boeing and other corporations?

Read some of the reply tweets. Looks like a lot of ex kossaks are still upset over the ides of March and Kos' decision to go with Hillary before most of the country had even voted.

if the DKos poll was a sample of the membership only, I'm surprised Bernie got 11%, must still be quite a few closet Bernie supporters there.

I wonder if there'll be another purge. If Markos decides that the site is backing some preordained candidate, will all apostates be banned again?

Still follow Meteor Blades (increasingly marginalized) an unabashed Bernie supporter before Bernie was even someone to support.

And yes, there will be a further edict on support and an accompanying purge. That's how he turns over the members, kinda like clearing out the tables after the 7pm sitting to generate more $ and tips.

Remember? Kos said we all voted multiple times, and that's the only reason Bernie won all the polls, even after he said he fixed it so that couldn't happen anymore. Except of course after he made it a site crime to be a Bernie supporter, and ran us off.

Remember?

I don’t suppose they mentioned the fact that Bernie supporters deserted that shithole site en masse a long time ago. Sounds like nothing’s changed over there, the majority are still buying Markos bullshit and on top of that I’d guess that most of the Bernie haters are still there licking there wounds after their queen fell on her face so they were probably ecstatic at the opportunity to do some Bernie bashing again. So yeah, what a fair and unbiased poll.

Thanks JtC for helping me get logged back in! Good to be back.

guess we should be surprised that Bernie got that much since as you stated many of his supporters fled the site or were kicked off. But there are still some over there that still openingly support him.

Good to see you here again.
