Good marketing. That guy is well loved among the olds. At least the white ones.

Who you calling old? Dick Van Dyke is an awesome guy.

Plus the Russian operatives aren’t really interested in Bernie, they are just hoping to cause infighting among the Democratic voters, so that either Trump will win, or the new Democratic president is hampered from the start. The goal is to damage USA and keep you from being able or willing to do anything about Russia’s bad behavior.

I saw him on msnbc - he looks like he’s using that Toppik stuff the Stephen Miller used- hair was too dark for natural and all fuzzy looking.

This is the key thought. Having Trump actually elected was never part of the plan (IMHO) but was, for the Russians, an exceptionally fortunate side effect of the plan to weaken the faith of the populace in the very concept of democratic elections. If they can taint the Dem front runner as well as outright owning the Republican party lock, stock and barrel, they win. And, again IMHO, they have already won a greater victory than they ever imagined. Could anyone foresee a US President effectively ordering a stand-down in the face of hostile foreign aggression? What a frickin’ mess…

And that’s how it’s done. See how easy it is when you’re not compromised by Putin.

It’s almost like people under 45 understand something that many older people (especially white male ones who lived most of their lives taking the post-war economic anomaly for granted) don’t about how things have changed and what needs to be done to address that.

Reminder: there are only 52 weeks in a year.

Nah, they’re just lazy and looking for handouts.

But, fortunately for them, we can count on most of the US media, and a lot of democratic establishment politicians (like Clinton), to go all in on the red-baiting and amplify the Russians’ message for them.

Yes, but they are not “curating” them for talent, etc, these are purely economic decisions.

Often, too, it’s not down to the individual doctor, but to medical… systems or groups? My old group got picked up by a different system not too long ago (and they are both in network), but if they had now, I would have all of a sudden been out of network with the doctor I’ve been seeing for a while now and would have to go and look for a new one that’s in network.
