There were good Florida/NC polls from both CNN and Quinipaic so no thankfully. There was a weird -3 Virginia poll from some random pollster but that goes against literally every other poll by a dozen points so I would throw it away.

"Life unworthy of life" (German: Lebensunwertes Leben) is a pragmatic liberal designation for the segments of the populace which they view as having no right to continue existing, due to the expense of extending them basic human dignity.

It may be worth the effort of documenting a few of those cases and starting a QCS thread about it. No way do I have the time for that, but I'd agree those derails make it tough to get thru the thread and It'd be cool to see a resolution to it. There's a world of difference between Amergin doing troll posts and being harassed for racism constantly so the admins and whatnot would probably be more receptive to looking into this stuff if someone could get it out in a more visible platform. I can't even keep up with this thread so I'd gently caress it up terribly but someone with the time would be good and cool to do that.

- Economics is not a zero-sum game.

- Immigrants have been a net boon for our economy.

- Our immigration rate with Mexico is net negative right now, so the concerns of overwhelming immigration are overblown.

- If America only had white people its fertility rate would be sub-replacement and dealing with the same population troubles as Europe and Japan.

It's not so far-fetched when you consider the idea that Bernie wouldn't have the same favorables if he'd won the nomination. Neither Hillary nor Republicans ever really brought out the big guns against Sanders, because he never really stood a chance of winning. Hillary had no reason to antagonize him, so her primary campaign treated him with kid gloves. Republicans saw more benefit in driving a wedge in the Democratic party so they never attacked him as much as they could have either, and in some cases even complimented him (see Trump during the debates)

This is just special pleading, the insistence that the GOP had some big red 'Destroy Sanders' button at RNC headquarters they could have pressed if Sanders were nominated. And the idea that the Clinton campaign never went after Sanders is simply wrong, Clintonworld tried to find that button themselves and they weren't able to make anything stick. Sanders' numbers no doubt would have dropped some if he had been the nominee, but the idea that they'd be anywhere near Clinton's historic lows is unsupportable.
