Tom Steyer?
There's one problem that you and this left wing analysis doesn't cover, Bubba. If the Obamacare mandate was not part of the problem and it was all the recession's fault, then why did the part time situation not get back to pre-recession levels after the recession ended? By the end of Obama's term the "35 hours or more" should have been back to normal (pre-recession) but it didn't. In fact, between 2015- 2016 and part of 2017 "the 35 hours or more" should have moved upward but it stalled. That chart is more damning than helping your cause, Bubba.
A threat that doesn’t show up in years 1-4, but has a delayed fuse for years 5-8. Are you delusional?
I saw a long article recently on suicide. Upward trend started way before Trump.

US farmer suicides on the rise as Trump’s trade war, extreme weather hit hard
Farm bankruptcies up 25%. The winning. It continues.
From the article you shared, "each aspect of the crisis facing American farmers serves as a damning exposure of the irrationality of the capitalist system"
What the hell kind of sites are you using for a reference, man? Was 1980s Pravda not available?
Btw, farm bankruptcies have been increasing the last 5 years. That's before Trump came to office. In other words, it was happening before BEFORE the tariffs. U.S. farm bankruptcies hit an eight-year high: court data

A little surprised to see "Uncle Bob" Perry on that list when he died in 2013. That's a lot of coin to throw around in a short period of time.
More problems for little Mikey...

Can you ever remember the Washington Post running a headline criticizing a Democrat!? It's a sign the end is near.
Apparently Biden has been telling people who was arrested with Mandela, or some such nonsense. Not that long ago, most Dem voters were ready to fall in line behind this guy
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ous-claim-he-was-arrested-trying-see-mandela/
Can’t find the article online. It was an in-depth analysis on presumed causes of suicide. Had data going back 100 years. The fact that you are blaming this on Trump is another example of your TDS. Think about it: using dead farmers to make a point about orange man bad. You must be out of ammo for such a poor critique of the president. Get a life.

The man displays the early stages of dementia. This is something my father in law is currently suffering, though he is more advanced than Creepy Joe. I don't wish the condition on anybody, but it is obvious Joe has it. He really should bow out gracefully, and soon.

You are bashing the 50 year record unemployment rate with this,
"Interesting that 3% more of the black population was in the workforce in 2001."
Since people of retirement age are no longer counted in the work force I know you know there are black people reaching 55 as well as white.
Did the workforce rate for whites decline or rise during same time frame?

I thought you'd appreciate the site.
"U.S. farm bankruptcy rates jumped 20% in 2019 - to an eight-year high - as financial woes in the U.S. agricultural economy continued in spite of massive federal bail-out funding, according to federal court data."

I don't know. I just said it was interesting. I'm not an actuary. I'd think that the black population was growing faster than it was aging. I'd expect that the percentage of black workers in the workforce would be slowly increasing as the % of Caucasian population is slowly dropping relative to the rest.

Dem strategists say they only have a week to save us from the Bern.
Otherwise our future is gulags, firing squads and/or bread lines.
The Memo: Democratic rivals have seven days to stop Sanders

The Memo: Democratic rivals have seven days to stop Sanders
"Rival candidates have just a week to stop Sen. Bernie Sanders if they hope to prevent the Independent from Vermont from taking the party’s presidential nomination.
Sanders is the undisputed front-runner in the race after his thumping victory in Nevada’s caucuses on Saturday.
His current trajectory is set to carry him to at least a top-two finish in South Carolina’s primary Saturday. From there, he looks likely to roll through Super Tuesday on March 3, harvesting huge numbers of delegates from California and other large states.
It is eminently plausible that, by the end of that night, Sanders will have jumped out to a delegate lead that none of his rivals can reel in — especially given the likelihood that more than a half-dozen other major candidates remain in the race.
It’s a prospect that thrills his supporters — and horrifies Democrats who fear the democratic socialist would lose a general election to President Trump..."

"Interesting that 3% more of the black population was in the workforce in 2001. Seems like the unemployment rates could be baked. Interesting. I know that was the claim from the right from 1/20/09 through 1/19/2017."
I said it was interesting. That said, you're partially correct. It was actually a poke at the 6ish years that the left dealt with the right claiming any labor statistic coming from Obama's White House was not based in actual facts. It irritated me then, it irritates me that no one remembers. Much like the right's pure hatred of debt from 1/20/09-1/19/17.

Good find Longest Horn. Hats off to you. Two points to consider though, by showing that Super PACs are being used by the wealthy to advance their interests.
First. I don't know all the names on that list. But the ones I do are associated with the Democratic Party, except for Bob Perry and Adelson. The top name, Adelson, is bipartisan and linked to Neoconservative interventionist foreign policy. He is one of the reasons that policy is so powerful in the US government today. To disagree with it is to disagree with the money.
Second. The rich are always going to have outsized influence over the political system. If not within it then outside of it. Ending Super PACs will not end it, but it will affect the ability of everybody else to coalesce and combine around policy ideas and political goals.
Third. It proves Buttigieg incorrect. The money isn't "dark". It is exposed to the light as the short horned poster made clear with the chart.
