How far out is"long-term"?

But when you have more minorities by percentage in poverty, combating poverty disproportionately helps minorities without giving the appearance of unfairness on which Republicans love to capitalize.

If the goal is more equality, the means of reaching it shouldn't matter. Millennials get it, so it seems does iGen. We can outwait and outvote the boomers.

So when did fighting poverty stop fighting racism? Remember, kids, it's socioECONOMIC status. If your economic status improves, so does your socioeconomic status.

The subject we were talking about was the midwest. Here are some facts on that. Bernie Sanders won more midwest states than Hillary Clinton (4-3), more midwest primaries (3-2), and was within half a percentage point in Iowa and 2 percentage points in Illinois, where Clinton should've had home state advantage. To me, that says that the people of the midwest were very receptive to Bernie Sanders's economic populist message, and I see no reason that this wouldn't carry over, especially since healthcare and the economy are the top two issues of voters as of now, and the most popular policy positions on each of those issues came directly from the Bernie Sanders platform. But I suppose that's cherry picking or manipulating data?

Ms. Duckworth likely understands her Illinois constituency very well, but Illinois is not the whole of the midwest, and she's no more qualified to comment on the seven state region than Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is. Judging by the results I spoke of earlier, there's even a distinct possibility that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez might be more well informed about the midwest as a whole. Given that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez has previously worked as an organizer for a presidential campaign and has traveled to each state, it would be reasonable to believe that she might have a better handle on what the constituencies of the six non-Illinois midwest states are looking for in a political candidate than Ms. Duckworth.

Looks like you answered your own question.

He may very well be a player who stays around, but there are packages out there that would make it worth trading him.

I know Shields is much maligned on this board (mostly for his cost), but after tonight's start, his ERA is barely above 4 and he's a guy a contender could count on to give them innings. Maybe (hopefully) the Sox can get something of value for him, even if it means eating the salary.

4-8 weeks for a sprained thumb?

In other words, expect a lackluster trade deadline. Hopefully the Sox get out in front of the market and deal some guys early, like they did with Q last year.

1) Who knows? Rick makes some bad decisions sometimes. 2) One of the top organizational priorities right now is developing Moncada. He should be leading off every game to get as many PAs as possible. Idk why they drop him against LHP.

So far it appears the White Sox are the only team tied to him, though.

So what do the Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin primaries Bernie won mean, then? These were primaries, not caucuses. To me, that, combined with the fact that two of those primaries took place in two of the three states that ended up putting Trump in the White House, suggests that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is correct in her assessment that the midwest would be receptive to an economic populist message, and that Ms. Duckworth, while a respectable and good senator, might be a bit off base regarding the constituencies of the midwest as a whole. But hey, what do I know, that Crowley for Congress campaign is rolling right along, right?

Eloy playing tonight?

Health might be an issue that could explain it. He did have a thumb injury earlier in the year, maybe that's the culprit? Hand and wrist injuries seem to severely dampen many players' offensive games.

Wow, their incompetence knows no bounds. That is laughably sad.

You did realize he was poking fun at your tendency to take anything that someone you've labeled a "Bernie-bro" that you disagree with and label it racist or sexist because it doesn't fit with your narrative, right?

"Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." -George Santayana This is a good time to read about Hitler, his sudden rise to power, quick extinguishment of political opposition, and slow erosion of social norms, brainwashing of the masses through propaganda, and creation of a common enemy through othering of the Jews. People like to say it's ridiculous to compare a modern day politician to Hitler, but what is one to do when the politician's actions bear a striking resemblance to Hitler's? Ignore it?

Maybe it's not they who need to learn.

So is there going to be a trade winds subforum this year or just this thread?

Did you mean 2020/21? Because that would make more sense.

Jon Garland (or "Judy" as he was known here) certainly had his critics on this board. I don't remember or know of anyone who disliked Dye.

This isn't a good time to ask if we're better than anything as a nation. The answer is almost invariably no.

To be fair, I think everyone here would be happy if they were.
