    The Deplorables have been condemning people simply for "having divergent beliefs" and for being different for a very long time.

    They are getting back their condemnations in full measure and then some.
    Just so, and not a thing can be done about it.

    Okay, for the cheap seats.

    1. Between 2017-18 alone the birth rate fell by 2%

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...ths-fall-to-lowest-level-in-32-years-cdc-data

    Between 1990-2017 it fell by nearly a third

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/195943/birth-rate-in-the-united-states-since-1990/

    2. By contrast US life expectancy in the C20th increased by more than 60%

    https://www.seniorliving.org/history/1900-2000-changes-life-expectancy-united-states/

    3. US life expectancy has declined in the last 3 years by .3% and that's amongst the young and middle aged due to suicide and the opioid epidemic

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smar...rising-drug-overdose-suicide-rates-180970942/

    Hence fewer young people and more elderly

    They can but they realize their mistake from 2016, so don't count on it.

    And that's quite true but only by .3% given that it has risen by 60% over the last century,

    LOL! It took this long, this many posts for you to come up with that weak excuse !!! LOL!

    I reposted it so many times I am sure you can see where you were wrong FROM YOUR OWN LINK :)


    How does one improperly read :


    FROM YOUR link in post #95 : """""unfortunately, over the past few years the United States has been on the largest continuous decline in expected lifespan for a century."""

    1. Over the past few years the US HAS experienced the largest continuous decline in expected lifespan for a century.

    2. But over the last century it has risen by 60%

    So...?

    So? I think that "over the past few years" is more relevant than "the last century".

    But if you want to keep beating your poor dead horse you'll have to do it without me...

    Then you're wrong, life expectancy grew by 60% in the last century and declined by .3% in the last few years, do the math.

    It completely depends on the candidate running vs him and the relative perception of the below in comparison to Trump:
    Competence
    Peceived Integrity/Likability
    Policy Popularity

    In that order.

    He's unhinged, yes, but in a completely different way than Trump. Trumps unhinged is called being a completely incompetent wildcard. Bernie loves rants (so do I), most importantly he is competent at them meaning he's charismatic. He would get the cultural vote and Bernies economic policies not withstanding, his stance on the corruption of washington, interventionism, the plight of the average working class, and money in politics is sound and crosses party lines. Plus he is just an honest guy with integrity having virtually nothing in the closet besides being a career politician. Even so he might be called one of the only true statesmen running.

    Any of the justic democrats I think could beat Trump, including Sanders, Yang, and Gabbard. Warren not included just because she wouldn't get the cultural vote meaning she just doesn't jibe with the average American. She is an elitist who while trying to "get" the working class, doesn't. She also still takes corporate money. Maybe names should be on the OP's list.

    And a Bernie win would most likely mean a Tulsi win as having her as VP or secretary of state would be a massive boost to Bernies campaign. Instant win right there.

    They don't have to be vastly anything. It won't take much to be better than Hilary as she was just a dumbo in two ways: She was terrible at life and she didn't even try getting the swing states. Otherwise, good point.

    If you call for trillions in government giveaways, you are not competent.

    Bernie is the least competent person in the race..

    I'll give him this, i think he has better intentions than all the rest.

    Are you actually saying someone in the race isn't calling for trillions in government giveaways, regardless of whether they be democrats?
