Oh dear, so when you say establishment you mean specifically the Democrat establishment… So you think the main battle is within the democratic movement, and once they’re up against the whole Republican dominated media empire they actually have more of a chance? (Thanks for your patience with me, it’s hard to get this kind of insights through international media)

So the establishment is that good in shaping opinions that an obvious asshat like Cuomo can be made into a decent option for that many folks? Somehow, I expected better of New York ers. Anyway it does mean that other progressives will be up against the same challenge, in places where I assume the establishment is even better in shaping opinions and turnout…
Ah, I meant barely an absolute majority. From what I understand, Cuomo shouldn’t have been a serious contender either. But I guess in the current landscape he’s a middle of the road kinda guy…
What are the feelings on his margin of victory though? Finally folks had the option to vote for a real progressive, but in New York of all places he barely made it. That does not bode well for progressives elsewhere, no? Or do y’all think this is the first step of a sea change? (Not American, and just curious how Americans look at this)

politics @lemmy.world•Donald Trump stung as new poll shows how unpopular he is
13·2 years agoThat’s how random samples work. A small number like that is enough to get a decent estimate of the entire population. Give ar take a percentage point if three. That is, if the sample is actually random. That’s actually near impossible to guarantee, as people who pick up their phones (or answer their door, or walk in the street and allow folks to ask them a question, or answer a letter) are different from those who don’t.

34·2 years agoit emerged AfD party members had attended meetings with neo-Nazis and other extremists to discuss the mass deportation of migrants, asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin deemed to have failed to integrate.
Not just illegal immigrants, also everyone they don’t like. And in cahoots with self declared nazis.

3·3 years agoYou don’t see progressives and atheists burning down schools. That is exclusively for the religious and the backwards.
Yep, never heard of a single case of atrocities done by progressive atheists in the name of what they believe in!

Lots of the Jews deported from Belgium, were recent refugees from Germany and further east. Might make sense to put more distance between yourself and the madmen.
