Should we fear Bernie?

I think with the amounts owed, a default would be a much bigger problem for China than for the US. I think China would be highly motivated to restructure the debt, rather than allow themselves to fall into a situation where the US had to default.

I hope this kind of thinking gets no American--other than the current mismanager-in-chief--to conclude how Great this makes America.

Comparing percentages means nothing in this context.

And I suppose GDP is a meaningless fiducial.

Percentages (of which the GDP is representative) are more often than not a better measure of some variable or element than are absolute quanta.

You know, last time I engaged with you about data, just a week or two ago, you presented some while smugly claiming that I would ignore it because I clearly didn't want to learn. I provided context from your own links that you had omitted (either deliberately or through carelessness) which demonstrated that your data didn't support your argument, and you...completely ignored this.

You're going to have to do better if you want to be taken at all seriously, I'm afraid.

Cross thread bickering is against the MA. And it's clear you did no such thing but if you want to think that go ahead I'm not a "get the last substance free post" ISF member, you are.. It's your own link that debunks your argument. Of course small countries will have a larger percentage of immigrant populations, you must have missed where it says that.

Since we're not talking about GDP this is completely irrelevant.

I'm not cross-thread bickering. I'm explaining how your dishonest and hypocritical past behaviour has affected my willingness to engage with you as if you debated honestly.

Continuing, as you are, to make dishonest arguments in an attempt to get me to do so is futile.

You are dishonest and provide high-quantity, low quality-content for others to read.

And comparing population percentages of a country of 336 million to a country of 10 million is stupid and meaningless.

Why is it stupid and meaningless?

And what form of numerical data would make for a more apt comparison of demographics?

Okay, then.

And comparing population percentages of a country of 336 million to a country of 10 million is stupid and meaningless.

I'm not going to bite, no matter how hard you try.

And Re-education camps. Don't forget those.

Those are even more unlikely than the political revolution itself.

Boo!

The main Biden thread title is a meek, “Biden for President?” Then there is this thread with a title that is a textbook example JAQing off.

Lol

why?

 

[Sideroxylon]

why?

Because making the system fair for American workers, in many ways how things used to be, is scary stuff. At least that is the narrative that has trickled down from billionaire interests.

 

[Craig4]

Bernie needs to stop going negative on Biden. The primary has already been decided. He has a duty to support the presumptive nominee. Attacks on Biden do not further the cause of defeating Trump. Bernie has no map to the nomination anymore.

The answer to the question is so painfully obvious that I have a hard time seeing these two posts as anything other than unabashed posturing.

Get behind the lying, flaky plagiarist on a false premise. Eat a turd sandwich for the good of the party.

Ok Sideroxylon: If Biden gets the nomination, will you vote for him in November?
