Because explaining how Biden's infrastructure bill continues to help Americans, while the Trump White House still has not released their infrastructure plan for 2016 is not detailing the difference between Biden and Trump enough to satisfy the NYTimes.
Always a day late and a dollar short, I'm an official old. We get tons of scam calls on our (yes, we still have one) land line. We block 'em. So, the only land line hits any "polls" get are the dumbshit olds that actually answer. These should be labeled "old dumbshit polls".
The Guardian International edition, people. NYT does not deserve your money or your time (except for the science and art sections, which you can read at the library).
I hate the NYT more and more with each passing stupid OpEd. WHY do they do this??? Okay I know this technically isn't one, but cramming in "and he didn't even, mention the polls" to every other para? That shit counts!
Polls have become very bad in recent years. They are still almost all done via phone, but the kinds of people who will still take landline calls from unknown numbers tend to be rural, conservative, old people. The severe selection bias at play means these are definitely not a representative sample of possible voters.
No doubt. It true (I have no info otherwise) it’s a weird way to conduct a poll. Land lines??? I hope Boomers live to 100. I wish them (most of them) well. But they are an aging population of mostly wingers. Another year means fewer wingers and more young voters. Trump’s power and spell over people has diminished as his life spirals out of control through several indictments. At his peak powers, as the incumbent, he lost resoundingly. Biden will be a year older, yes. But whoever Dems run will win in a landslide.
What you say is true, but as a liberal baby boomer (tail-end, born 1961) I get tired of this being laid on one generation. When I see Klepper interviewing these MAGAchuds, there are plenty of boomers but lots of Gen-Xers as well, and the Millennials he manages to snag are just complete morons.
I guess very generation starts out progressive but eventually shakes out into predictable patterns.
Agreed, many Boomers are liberals. Many became adults in the turbulent 60’s and became quite progressive and remained so. I love the idea of that “flower-power/peace/love” era. I would have been a hippie without a doubt had I been born in the 40’s or early 50’s. I hope all Boomers live to 100, but especially the progressive ones who love diversity, peace and who find Trump repugnant. :)
I wonder what that period felt like to be a young adult. I was born in 74, so most of my childhood memories are from the 80’s. I would have enjoyed being a teenager in the 70’s I think, or the 60’s. I have some mixed feelings about social media and the way people view each other today. There were always differences, certainly, but everyone’s opinions and feelings and angry rhetoric wasn’t as easily shared or spread. I think social media can be positive, and can connect people. But it also opened up the world to some darker views and misinformation. In the end, I think the good in humanity triumphs over the bad, and we make tiny gains in equality and acceptance. But they are hard fought, and will always be opposed by some nasty individuals.
1958 here. I've got three years on you but I don't like being lumped in with the rest of our generational cohort either. And predicting that this mess will die off when we do is unrealistic.
I do not mind being a Boomer, but I do not attach much importance to it either. And human nature does not change just because a few Millennials discovered racism.
Carlos Slim Helu, Mexico's richest man, is also the largest shareholder of the New York Times Company. He is also a prominent backer of the Legion of Christ, an organization founded by famed sexual offender, Rev Marcial Maciel.
The NYT was a reputable newspaper, until Trump started calling it "fake news"--ever since, in some bizarre attempt to please him, they've proven him right.
What, that they haven't "bothsides" everything to death since, that they didn't employ Bari Weiss since, or that they were never a reputable newspaper to begin with? Your comment is unclear.
Well, to be fair, most of Europe was taken in by Adolph's early endeavors (has quite the ring to it--well done!) and considered Hitler a competent statesman. Neville Chamberlain was the rule, not the exception, when he was blindsided--and the poor guy gets a large part of the blame for not nipping Nazism "in the bud", so to speak. Not sure who the U.S. is gonna blame when it becomes Trumpistan, however.
Well, at least they published my mean comment on the idiotic Nate Cohn "analysis" as follows:
These constant "Democrats sweep elections and why it's bad for Biden" articles are starting to read like parody. Can you please come up with a new mantra?

I've been to countries with GOOD rail transportation. I'd love to see better here.

The NYT Cooking app is top notch, and worth the $5 per month I've been giving it for years now.
Apparently, they feel that abusive tirades a la Trump are what really twist their kink . "Hurt us, Joe, we deserve it."

I graduated HS in 1979, the 70s were in many ways when progressivism/liberalism went mainstream.

*screeches like pterodactyl*

Check your history...
Their history is littered with David Brooks Cut-N-Paste articles on "humility" and "civility" and other shit he knows not the first thing about.
It's grand central for both-siderist clap trap.
What, that they haven't "bothsides" everything to death since, that they didn't employ Bari Weiss since, or that they were never a reputable newspaper to begin with? Your comment is unclear.
They have been wrong about everything and everyone going back to Adolph's early endeavors.

Hey New York Times, does your brain hurt?
Well, at least they published my mean comment on the idiotic Nate Cohn "analysis" as follows:

That comment gets a standing ovation! A thing of beauty!
I had lunch with an old friend today, seemingly indifferent a hole forming in my sock.
A year from today the banner headline of NYT will read: “DESPITE CONCERNS ABOUT HIS AGE, BIDEN WINS RE-ELECTION”
They could not even give us ONE day to enjoy our off year victories
But if the GOP wins dog catcher in HogSnort Redtopia, why, they deserve a victory lap!!!!!
Ever green: FUCK YOU, NYT
They’re still furious about that Crimson Wave that failed to materialize last year.
Hey, it's not the Democrats' fault they won.
My house band accordion combo, "Dems in Disarray" played at Cletus' Bar & Shootin' Range in HogSnort. Quite the rowdy crowd there, y'all.
Did you have to play 'Rawhide' to get out alive?
NYT has become a pathetic sad joke
Just like the rest of mainstream media they don’t do real journalism anymore
“President Biden is unpopular, but the winning streak for his party and its policies has been extended through another election night,”
I believe you. I am not clicking. I am also laughing.
