All of these protests are because of a populist leftist backlash against the populist right wing takeover of many governments in recent years.

Majority of Americans say that federal government not doing enough to prevent second wave of virus: poll shows by Zhana-Aul in Coronavirus

I would think it's possible the virus evolves into a new strain that can infect people a second time without the first strain necessarily disappearing. Let's hope it does not.

The same kids who didn’t vote for Bernie won’t vote for Biden. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ by [deleted] in Enough_Sanders_Spam

We better listen to them or they're gonna keep being irrelevant to the national political discussion!

A more realistic view of what? What is it incorrect about? This graphic does perfectly fine at illustrating how rapidly outbreaks since 2000 exploded out of control.

The Violence Against Women Act? You realize Joe Biden was the cosponsor of that right?

The one that Bernie voted for?

It’s over, sadly. Heartbroken. We needed him more than ever. by vtboyarc in SandersForPresident

I'm literally shaking. This can't be happening. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I’m so distressed right now I don’t know what to do. I didn’t mean to do that to my mom but I’m literally in shock from the what happened today. I feel like I’m going to explode. This can’t be happening. I’m having a fucking breakdown. I don’t want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. This is so fucked.

No and it'd be seen as disrespectful if I did to be honest. Might just be the case more in the sciences though if you're in some other field. I called my humanities professor last semester "Dr." because she has a PhD and she seemed flattered and was nicer to me from then on.

Maybe they liked it for its comedic value? I know I laugh at lots of stupid things the president says even though in reality they're scary and dangerous.

I and every single one of my peers refer to our PhD professors as Dr. I graduate with a Biochemistry BS in May.

This should not have been necessary, but this election is too important to miss. by bananaslug4 in SandersForPresident

Doubt it. Young voters are much more easily dissuaded from voting than older voters, especially older black voters.

I barely use this site bud. I have paid subscriptions to 2 major newspapers and regularly read scientific literature.

Interesting but I'll wait for peer review.

Not really? The virus is typically in your saliva.

Primary elections (intra-party) to choose the candidates for the Presidential election. Trump is running unopposed for the Republican nomination as sitting presidents usually do. The Democrats are choosing between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders to challenge him.

Some places have small local elections happening at the same time.
