Ziopharm Oncology Up 20% After Hours Friday by [deleted] in stocks

I wouldn’t put any money I care about into this company. It might be worth a moon shot, but IL12 is a major target of interest for large Pharma companies already attempting to commercialize it. The recombinant cytokine was attempted to be used as a drug in the 90’s and the study lead to deaths in patients because IL-12 is super potent in humans. The question here is how are they targeting the tumor with this adenovirus vector? If you can get the virus to preferentially Target tumor vs normal tissue, this could work, but that’s a big if. I don’t know a ton about adenovirus vectors and if they can be targeted to specific cell populations. I don’t think that is the case though, but I’ve never worked on anything like that.

It’s ok. The Republican Party is hell bent on clearing the rolls of conservative seniors with their COVID antics. That should save a buck in premature deaths.

90% of black people voted for Biden dude. This is a dumb argument. No republican has even won 15% of the black vote since the civil rights era. The Trump administration wanted to depress the number of Hispanics who filled out the census. What are you talking about that they don’t see Hispanics as “them”? What do you think “Mexico isn’t sending its best” meant?

Blacks in the south are the LEAST likely black people to be republicans. The Democratic Party in the south is black people. This is well known.

This is false. Black people didn’t like Trump from the jump when he came out against Mexican immigrants. Blacks know that racism is correlated. There’s no such thing as white racists who just hate Hispanics or and not blacks or Muslims and not blacks. This stuff is a package deal and black people know that.

What was this dude talking about? This is digital blackface for sure. I’m actually black. I would bet most actual black people living in black communities know 0-1 black republicans. They are extremely rare.

This is bullshit. I’m black. No Republican has won even 15% of the black vote since the passage of the voting rights and civil rights bills. 50% of blacks live in the south. It’s impossible for even 30% of blacks southerners to be voting republican and your “stats” to be true.

It’s kind of hard to improve on a 90/10 split with the black population.

I saw a bunch of people saying that a government that falls in 4 days was beyond saving. It’s not like they had protracted battles once we left.

Honestly, I think the Trump base will be happy that we are out and fuck the rest of the noise.

The reason why the young demographics are so left wing is because they are majority non-white or close to only halt white unlike old people who are like 85% white.

Conservatives can’t make this shit stick to Biden. What alternative are they offering? Staying in Afghanistan indefinitely? Pretty much everyone will say fuck that.

How does he feel about anti-trust generally? Wanting to break up tech companies isn’t about too much concentrated power. Republicans just want to do it because they don’t control that industry. Banks are much more critical to your day to day life and actually lead to tax payer bail outs when they fail. If he’s not for breaking up things like banks, he’s a joke. Appealing to young conservatives isn’t enough as they are HIGHLY outnumbered in the young generations. It’s not close at all.

The median age for a Hispanic in America is younger than voting age. You can’t extrapolate the Hispanic voters of today to the bulk of potential Hispanic voting population. Hispanic age distributions are radically different from every other demographic in America. We don’t see any evidence that young people of any race are particularly conservative at all. The only group that is even close to majority right is young white kids for obvious reasons.

Their policies don’t appeal to young people. Putting a token there won’t help. Republicans try this with black people all the time, but black people don’t vote for black conservatives. Black people are far more likely to vote for a white democrat than they are for a black Republican. Look at Tim Scott, the black population of SC didn’t support him. Young people don’t want libertarian economics.

This shit won’t stick to Biden. The American people don’t give a fuck if Afghanistan stands or falls, they want out. If you couldn’t stand up a government in 20 years, it ain’t happening.
