I have no respect for someone who lets injustie go by without addressing it and even supporting the group while they do it, none. I always said if bernie left the DNC after that instance and went third party he had my vote, or even if he just say by silently and did nothing. Second he endorsed the paper he lots a LOT of votes, including mine.

@feld

And what does recent gerrymandering tell you would win this year then?

@thegibson

@feld

Brcause individual donnors does **not** (and never has) been a very good predictor of who wins?

Sanders just went in for major heart surgery. That alone is likely going to destroy his chances since most were already uncertain at his age. Combine that with the fact that he is the most extremist economically with a desire to spend more money than anyone up there, yet does not offset that in any way with lowering the taxes on the rich and middle class.

All of his policies will be loved by the very few anti-capitalist types out there maybe, but overall he is unlikely to gain any support from people on the right, and even limited support from his own party.

Last electrion Sanders was my top choice and I supported him strongly, would have been happy to vote for him. However when he supported the DNC following the undemocratic way he was dealth with and even supported hillary after that, at that moment I promised not to vote for sanders ever again, as did many others.

Point is, he is far too extremist to stand a chance of pulling in anyone center or right of center.

To give you an idea I live int he Netherlands, basically one of, if not the most, socialistic countries in all of europe. Even here is is treated a bit like a joke (usually jokes about him printing money to pay for things).

"Do you like the fact that your server is being used for talking negatively about someone..."

I do not like the fact that you two have negativity between each other, so **no** I dont like it. But I do respect and support his right feel negatively about someone and express that.

I do not require people on my server to do what I like.

"Do you like the fact that advertising was published on your server..."

I do not like advertising published on my server. I do not feel that what he posted was advertising however.

You now have direct answers to your questions. Uness you have something new to add we are done here.

@arteteco @Surasanji

@zlax I did not ignore your request. I responded to it over a dozen times now, you just dont like the answer.

Not liking the answer you get is not the same as being ignored.

@feld

You dont need to convince me trump is bad. Problem is the top three democrats look "bad" to me too. Dont get me wrong I'd take most over trump, except Biden not a chance I'd vote for him. But I doubt any of the top three will stand a chance against Trump personally.

Even my mexican friend who is strongly anti-trump said if any of the top three dems win it she will go third party.

I dunno not looking as good to me as it does to you IMO

@thegibson

@feld

At no point did I tell you how much value you should put into the poll.

But you have two choices as someone who opposes trump

1) convince ourselves to reject anything that sounds like it could remotely be construed as something positive about trump, and as a result of that group denial not be informed enough to help make a educated and effective plan to dethrone him.. or...

2) recognize the reality, that a lot, even perhaps a majority (or damn close), of people do support him and try to fight against that issue head on, well educated, and possibly even be effective at combating it.

Choice is yours. But all I saw last election and since from the democrats is #1 with very little of #2. so I fled the country with little to no hope of the democrats pulling it together in time.

I do hope you and others prove me wrong though and get trump out of office and maybe even get a half-decent candidate through the primaries... I dont have high hopes though given the facts.

What interesting about this is I work rather heavily in research around what we call "biologically inspired machine learning". We basically take apart the brain and the natural mechanisms that make evolution work, reverse engineer to figure out how it works and why, then apply those mechanisms to computer algorithms to improve on our own machine learning and evolutionary algorithms.

So not only is evolution real, but it is extremely powerful and something we replicate (or at least try to replicate) in computing with some level of success.

I was, thus why i deleted the comment a few seconds later, sorry

@djsumdog
Dependa which one? I've reviewed over a dozen such approval rating polls and all that passed some formal objective process had similar results. So you'll have to be specific, which of the dozen or so polls that we data scientist use are you curious about?
@feld @thegibson

@zlax Instead of demanding he unfollow or unmute you, since he clearly does not wish to, wouldnt it be easier for you if you blocked him? That would force his account to unfollow yours and the issue would be resolved.

As a moderator i can not and will not force anyone else to unmute another person. They are free to mute whomever they wish.

@arteteco @Surasanji

@sptnkmmnt

As far as I'm concerned that is a perfectly acceptable answer. We do not hold politicial preferences against our members and occasionally resharing your blog is perfectly fine. As long as you are active here, stay in touch with some people (doesnt have to be everyone), and are respectful I have no objections.

I'll see if any of my other moderators have anything to add but for the moment, from me, I see no issues here.

@Surasanji @arteteco @zlax

@zlax By the way getting into your public stream only occurs if **you** follow **him**.. him following you doesnt accomplish that on its own. Since he doesnt appear to have mass followers I'm still a bit uncertain how this plays to his advantage.

Though I do understand your concern and am continuing to look into it.

@Surasanji @arteteco

@zlax Please tag the other moderators in this discussion for transparency sake: @Surasanji and @arteteco

In my opinion if he wishes to mute you that is his choice. I do agree it is a bit odd that he follows you and has you muted but in and of itself I'm not sure thats an issue.

If he follows lots of people just for the sake of SEO that would be concerning, I agree. But he follows only 77 people and has 95 followers. So it does not appear on my end that he is mass following people for the sake of SEO, I could be mistaken of course, but based on his follower count alone this isnt evident.

If i understand correctly your primary concern is that he follows you but has you muted, so doesnt wish to actually engage you. Since he isnt mass following people how would this even act to his advantage in any way?

@H8P0N I thought these all had cracked screens :)
