It's been windy and cold.

You have done nothing to investigate the validity of that graph; all you've done is advance bullshit arguments in an effort to discredit it.

Of course you're attacking it! It shows a political reality that makes you uncomfortable. Why? What's wrong with a strongly Progressive voting population? They believe in the same things you claim to. They're just as frustrated with inaction as you are.

What are you so afraid of that you would spend so much time and effort attacking the best candidate to represent so many of the economic positions you say you support?

Bernie is good but insufficient. Idiots like you who attack anybody who says even such a mild thing such as pointing out that Bernie hasn't done anything to reach out to groups who opposed him the last time are the problem with Bernie. He hasn't tried to build bridges with people within the Democratic party. He's a very divisive politician. His divisiveness appeals to you but not to me.

I'd vote for him if he wins the nomination but I'm hoping for better.

I keep explaining to you that the graph was constructed using invalid arithmetic. There are other ways to use the same data in a proper manner. I don't know why the authors chose not to do so, my guess is because it wouldn't be quite so convincing in portraying the message they want to convey. I'm just saying that the appeal of that graph to you and other idiots is because it looks all sciency but in reality it contains a lot less information than you think it does.
 
I've always summed up graphs like that as "how to make statistics lie for you."

Most of the "data mining" companies do this to make their assumptions look better. I guess we could call it a SKEWED POLL.
