Tax avoidance

I haven't seen that charge. You mean on the people accepting the bribes?

Nobody made them pursue the cases. If it is ok to bribe university administrations, it should also be ok to bribe university employees, imo. The university should fire those employees, but it shouldn't be a crime.

It takes public resources to pursue those cases. That’s a good reason for a fine.

So mumped

Democrats are bad at estimating how socialism plays in elections.

A 49% plurality of Democrats said most, half, or nearly all voters would consider voting for a democratic socialist for president. But in the same poll, only 35% of voters said they would. https://t.co/uNwSkrMecA

I think this will be interesting to see how socialist will be presented. DSA style or downplay socialist to social democratic.

I don't think there are a lot of people that were never Hillary and now never Trump.  I think those are dax people who wish it was a different republican but are always going to find reasons to vote for Trump.

3rd party would be one area.

Just some weird takes from RUIN. 

Which really shouldn't be surprising given the weirdos that comprise RUIN
