One, I read polls and I don't live in an echo chamber. There is a difference between making an observation and advocating.
Two, I have always made it clear that I am a liberal and not a progressive. I also said that I supported Jim Webb in the primary. I'm sure if you search, you will find it. I have always made it clear that I supported moderate Democrats like Ryan Greene and Brian Schweitzer.

Members are not expected to hold across-the-board progressive opinions on every single issue, but we do expect members to be generally progressive and to support Democrats at election time -- remember that and respect it when posting. Harsh, divisive, partisan attacks against Democrats or progressive values (from the right or the left) are not welcome here.

I am not attacking from the right or left, I am defending liberal values from both the right and extreme left. I have always been clear about my disdain for the postmodernist/neo-Marxist left and free speech hating anarcho-communists. I have always made it clear that they are cancer just as the religious right and the alt-right. I also made it clear in the past that identity politics divisive and denies individuals agency.

If you have a problem with that, I don't care.

Did countless millions and 600,000 students walk out yesterday as you predicted? If not, exactly... Marengo Mar 2018 #9

I was wrong. It wasn't 600,000 students, it was a 1,000,000 give or take. ffr Mar 2018 #11

i dont see any reference to countless millions in that article, neither is there a source... Marengo Mar 2018 #12

Unusually negative conclusion for something that would be difficult to quantify ffr Mar 2018 #13

Are you claiming youre not wrong on predicting countless millions would walk out? Marengo Mar 2018 #14

Nice Red Herring fallacy, but please address my previous proposition Post #9 ffr Mar 2018 #15

Ummm, you made the claim countless millions would walk out. Where is the evidence this happened? Marengo Mar 2018 #17

Another Red Herring diversion. Address my proposition in #9. ffr Mar 2018 #18

Ah, so no evidence then. Got it. Marengo Mar 2018 #19
