      The Federalist asked me to write a piece on why Bernie is the strongest Democratic candidate, so that's what I didhttp://thefederalist.com/2019/02/19/naysayers-wrong-bernie-sanders-formidable-2020-contender/ …

      Is The Federalist a well-known conservative website? Yes. But I had complete control over what I wrote -- I even criticized Trump/GOP in the piece. And anyway, I appreciate writing opportunities that don't involve "preaching to the choir."

      Predictably, trolls are moaning about the publisher rather than the content of what was published. I doubt a single one of the people complaining have actually read the piece.

          I'd written before that Bernie is the strongest candidate (see: https://spectator.us/bernie-sanders-democratic-front-runner/ …) and I was asked to expound on that thesis. Really, there's no conspiracy or "horseshoe" explanation beyond that. But if you want to wildly speculate, go for it I guess.

          It was a good piece, people need to judge articles on their merits rather than simply dismissing platforms because they have views they don't agree with.

          I agree, but people seeing an ostensibly "pro-Bernie" piece there is going to set off a lot of cognitive dissonance alarms. (Although I don't think one need support Bernie to affirm the logic of the piece)

          Friend, I will vote for a loaf of bread over Trump. Bernie isn't my first pick but I'll do what needs to be done. That being said, you need to be real careful with that publisher. They're not doing this in good faith, and they'll use any division to get Trump re-elected.

          P.s. I won't read the piece because I refuse to give them clicks. I'm sure your article is good, I just refuse to go to that site.

          Yes, I approve of people expressing themselves rationally in any forum. Hopefully, you used some premises for your argument that the typical readers of that journal could accept. People are not tainted by preaching to the heathen.

          Good article. I think Biden would have the best chance to beat Trump but Bernie is a legit contender & would excite the left. I find him to be economically illiterate, but seems perfectly pleasant. A socialist with a smile...and a few million bucks.
