==The Democrats: the party of science==
Democrats are known for being on the cutting edge of medical technology such as vaccination safety assessments and the psychiatric sciences and doomed to be weighted down by the Luddite conservatives who can never keep up, notions they delight in employing to foster damaging stereotypes but somehow always backed by opinions stated in passing. Or if not that eventually found to be that what Andy has named "liberal clap-trap"—trappings of expertise clapped together, in these scientific cases like many others, to score leftist political goals, only to be abandoned as soon as it's time for the goalposts to be moved again.
And somehow also they struggle for days with recording the voting preferences of 172,000 Iowans when there are probably worldwide Twitter polls that large conducted nightly of similar complexity without a hitch to determine the vital issue of the favorite haircut of the members of the leading K-pop groups.

:Few personalities are more dear to Hollywood and to liberalism than Oprah. Michael Moore wanted her to run for president. See "[https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/1/9/16868216/oprah-winfrey-pseudoscience Oprah’s long history with junk science]." She is the person most directly responsible for the anti-vaccine movement, although the media acts like it's all Trump's fault. [[User:PeterKa|PeterKa]] ([[User talk:PeterKa|talk]]) 04:29, 9 February 2020 (EST)
::The Democrats are clearly not better at [[political science]] than the GOP. "Since the end of the New Deal era the Republicans have been much more successful than the Democrats at winning presidential elections."[https://www.jstor.org/stable/27550992?seq=1] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 07:44, 9 February 2020 (EST)
:::I have very mixed emotions, then. I saw Oprah demonstrate the Neti pot (?, it's about 3-4 inches long) a device that you insert deeply into each of your nostrils and squirt water into your sinuses to help clean them out. At the time I thought: this certainly would help the kind of sexual libertarians who would like to normalize placing foreign objects into parts of their bodies win arguments.
:::It was also cited as "an ancient medical device". So, again, it would help those would like to portray Christian morals as an island of ignorance between ancient and Eastern wisdom and modern-day science.
:::The only problem was, two users who took the advice to try it didn't clean their pots well enough and were killed by the growth of amoebas that came from the water and passed through the brain-blood barrier. I guess the behaviors and thinking that I mentioned that the usage tended to deliver up as advanced, newly-restored and desirable practices must not be dangerous—or someone involved in promoting the Neti pot would have noted the irony in the final results of the scoffing at Christian morals that may very well have preceded the use.
:::Also the irony that those results, while they couldn't be a punishment from God, since he doesn't exist, somehow seem as if they wouldn't have been much different if He really did exist. A mystery of life. By that I mean the widely-broadcast guilt of the results from giving the advice in the context I mentioned, not necessarily from simply following the advice.

==Moral supremacy==
Moral supremacy is the doctrine that those who have suffered the most, as a determining factor, deserve to rule over those that haven't—''even if the suffering is self-inflicted'', inducing the fabrication of oppression narratives that compete alongside the American black historical experience to make sure blacks don't get all the spots in liberal organizations.
It will ''never'' get discussed in that way, as it would be self-defeating (a too obvious demonstration that it leads to a political rule belonging to the same species of oppression complained about), but a repeated oppression narrative is simply inserted when an opposing political view arises that needs to be checked when it occurs at a politically inconvient time, [for example at a time], like [when] distracting from a new different narrative while it's beginning to harden. Hence, moral supremacy is the unexamined basis of [[intersectionality]].

==Guidance counselor==
I'm curious. Has anyone ever heard of the ''Occupational Outlook Quarterly''? [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) Friday, 01:41, 21 February 2020 (EST)
:It's mentioned [https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=15171&tip=sid HERE] for historical reasons.
:Given that the [https://www.bls.gov/ooh/ Occupational Outlook Handbook] is online, its not surprising that the ''Occupational Outlook Quarterly'' appears to have ceased publication.[[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 04:06, 21 February 2020 (EST)
::What I mean is, if it's available in any form at all, and it has been, why did shoals of college students take out large student loans in the [[Worst College Majors]] to go to expensive colleges and expect to pay the loans back quickly, if they have competent high school guidance counselors and could look up expected job demand and salary?
::Likewise, why are businesses complaining there aren't enough qualified applicants if they can raise their salaries over the course of any three months (quarterly) of the year and attract more students to what must then be seen as the "Best College Majors" of the time through that same publication?
::I never learned of the publication from ''my'' high school guidance counselor—didn't need to; I learned about it from the government advertising it on TV beginning in grade school!
::Was this a marketing failure? Or did it fail some other way? Supposedly we billed future generations $6-8 trillion to prevent a depression; shouldn't we have at least gotten out of it ''some'' reality to a reasonably polled "occupational outlook" for the students entering college at that time?
::This all looks like people warping the yardstick and then "measuring out" their adversity for their own share of government goodies or getting rid of the yardstick altogether like it never existed and trusting the adversity fishermen not to tell tall tales about size of the fish they caught when they try to sell them at the market? Or in today's oppression culture, probably the size of the fish that bit them. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) Friday, 05:43, 21 February 2020 (EST)
==MPR: "replacement conspiracy"==
MPR reads, "''drop in its fertility rate to a below replacement level of births similar to Europe''"
I suggest modifying it to "'''drop in its fertility rate similar to Europe''"
The mass shooting in Germany yesterday is attributed to a "right wing terrorist" motivated by "The Great Replacement conspiracy theory", according to German state TV. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pU9ALiHikA] ''The Great Replacement'' is the title of the [[New Zealand mosque shooting]] manifesto; "Jews will not replace us" was chanted by Charlottesville neo-nazis. We shouldn't use this term, "replacement". There are other ways to communicate the consequences of a drop in fertility.

==The cold hard facts==
Look, let me warn you in advance: if Bloomberg offers to pay me $10,000 to call one of you guys a loser, I'm taking it.
Let's hope black voters are less accommodating in their politics than me toward Democratic presidential candidates, like RobS recently claimed. [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) Friday, 08:51, 21 February 2020 (EST)
:"Given the cash that Bloomberg is throwing around, you can set the countdown clocks now for a surge of 'former Republicans' in the media to develop a 'strange new respect' for the diminutive geriatric billionaire purely out of their 'pragmatic principles'". —Buck Sexton

::Klo-butcher ought to be cashing in on SC blacks right now ([https://thehill.com/campaign-issues/480611-minneapolis-naacp-black-lives-matter-call-on-klobuchar-to-suspend-campaign despite NAACP opposition]); elsewise their choices are breathing life into Biden's corpse, bending over for Bootyboy, or sanctioning stop n frisk Bloomberg. What's not being reported is mainstream Blacks' wholesale rejection of communist liberals and progressives like Sanders and Warren (and by extension, Obama).

::Cold hard facts are, [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/24/opinion/2020-progressive-candidates.html Blacks and Hispanics are the "moderates" of the Democratic party]. That's why there are no moderates left in the Democratic party. Blacks and Hispanics oppose the [[Planned Parenthood]] [[genocide]] of their race. That's why the communists, Booker and Harris, had no Black support. That's why Blacks and Hispanics are leaving the Democrat party. That's why insiders pin their hopes on a RINO racist.

:::You said Booker and Harris were torpedoed by Democratic white racists not Democratic moderate minorities.
:::And who is this RINO racist? You do know RINO means Republican In Name Only. So how can the Democrats be running a candidate with a Republican "name"?
:::I would encourage readers to allow Rob to answer ''next'' week if he likes and in the meantime give him the benefit of the doubt, given the amount of knowledge he has been shown to have exhibited over long periods of time.

::::Booker and Harris, who had maybe 4% between the two of them, were torpedoed by white racists lack of support ''and'' minority pro-family, God-fearing anti-socialists.

::The contrast is interesting. Bloomberg, who regards Trump as an amateurish billionaire rival. has shown himself as the product of the insular world of New York City with no understanding of the outside world; and Trump who was schooled in both the New York and national media markets and among the New York lobbying class hasn't even slung a shot at this Goliath yet. Like Hillary, Bloomberg's stumbling over his own money, power, and ego. Critics say that about Trump, but thus far it's proven illusory.

:::Don't count Michael Bloomberg out in terms of winning the Democratic primary. Bernie Sanders had a heart attack. Sanders said doctors recommended he do more walking and get more sleep. Will Sanders do that during a presidential primary campaign?
:::Yes, Michael Bloomberg might win the Democratic primary over Sanders assisted by the Grim Reaper.

::Yes, no, and maybe. You have to look participation rates by demographic group. To say, "Blacks voted blah blah blah" is meaningless. You have to look at the Democrat primary participation rate of blacks at its peak in 2008 and 2012; then compare it to 2016 and 2020. What you will find is apathy in a shrinking base.
