Harris is old news at this point. This is currently a 4 person race between Biden, Klobuchar, Beto and Bernie

It only took 6 hours since Bernie entered the race for trash like this to come to the thread. These are not even funny.

I agree. 2020 will be completely fair. Always trust CNN, MSNBC, NBC, New York Times, et al. They are trustworthy news sources.

I would go elsewhere but since Buzzfeed went under I don't even know who to trust any more.

Is that true? I was under the impression that Harris / Sanders was the most likely match-up.

Don't worry, everything's going to be fine. We'll get through this together.

You're not allowed to use "et al" unless you have previously stated the entire group you are referencing. The abbreviation only works if the reader is fully aware of all the parties involved. If you are going to use abbreviations, you have to use them correctly.
So can we get the full list of news networks and publications we should trust without reservation, according to Lazare1969?

I just kinda expected the poll to be funnier, tbh.

I don't know. You clearly know better than me. I stated that CNN, MSNBC, NBC and New York Times are trustworthy. Do you agree or disagree?

I mean, its your opinion, so you really should be able to list off your trusted news sources.
I have a more nuanced opinion on believing news networks and publications. In a short summation, people should actively consume news and be aware of who is reporting, how they reported and what they choose to report. Over time, the person will be able to obtain an understand on who is doing quality reporting on a given subject and how to become better informed. Which involves consuming news from all the sources you listed and thinking critically about the reporting.

I'm not even sure how to answer that poll because I don't know who "they" is. I guess it's the DNC? Maybe? Or the omniscient council of neoliberals that has control over social media as well as state-by-state open vs closed primary laws where pushing for open primaries seem at odds with the desire to get rid of blue-dog Dems and meanwhile caucuses are also still okay despite being quite the suppressant?
(it's also confusing, because the corporate media certainly did a poor job managing "their" agenda in 2016-their presentation of his odds versus the mathematical reality later in the campaign was pretty damn distorted, it's so damn hard to make a comeback in an over-time proportional setting)

The capitalist class, probably.
Or the (((globalists))), depending on where this is coming from.

Given that Kushner is involved, I'm sure that it has something to do with Saudia Arabia lending to the Kushner family.

What does giving nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia got to do with Iran? Saudi Arabia and Iran do not like each other for many reasons. The US has been Saudi Arabia's ally, but only so far as to provide them with weapons to discourage a full scale conflict between Saudi Arabia, Iran and the larger region. Iraq used to be another big player, but the US messed that up. I don't know why we would sell Saudi Arabia this tech, but it is some idiotic plan to counter Iran, who the Trump administration is convinced are still developing nukes. But if this is true, this will piss off a lot of people. Even outside the Middle East.
I am fully aware that Iran and Saudi Arabia are rivals in the region. What I was asking was what does Iran have to do with giving Saudi Arabia nuclear technology? Surely no-one is stupid enough to think giving nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia is an appropriate response to favouring Saudi Arabia as a regional power; and to what purpose would that be for anyways? For the purpose of oil stability, you don't want to give Saudi Arabia nuclear technology. It'll be like giving Isreal an excuse to bomb Saudi Arabia, and from there on it'll be like Syria but hundred times worse.

I agree with that logic. If you must know, here are some of my favourite sources:

Feel free to ban me forever, I thought I was polite and cordial as one could be, yet you still chose to ban me for the highly arbitrary reason that you "did not think" my poll was "funny." That's fine, I would rather congregate with people who are critical thinkers and not so exclusionary of deviating views. I thought I could get along with from what I can tell are somewhere center-left to center-right, somewhat Americentric (many of you seem to think it's America's and Britain's duty to "spread democracy" around the world because our countries clearly know how best to run things, okay fine), but you don't seem very liberal I now realise. I am not a good fit for your group collective.

My guy, I'm not a moderator. You seem concerned critical thinking, but I feel you may want to work on those basic observation skills.

Martyrdom, ban dodging and shitposting all in one package? Great job.
Everything is always so vague. It's always "they", "the media", "the establishment", and never anything or anyone spesific in these conspiracies. It's almost like they have no idea what they're talking about and is trying to sell a general idea of fear rather than anything actual tangible.
