Stating a fact doesn't make it gaslighting does it?
Can you show me the R governors and mayors that called for long term lock down of schools and businesses in their states and cities? Someone is being intellectual dishonest and I hope it is on purpose.
You just changed what you are talking about, you realize that don’t you? You have been saying that it’s only D governors who have had problems early in the pandemic with nursing home deaths. That’s the topic here. (but you’re wrong about what you are saying in your goalpost moving in any case - Maryland, Indiana and Ohio just off the top of my head have had some pretty strict restrictions all along, and I’m sure there are more.)
I called that (nursing home deaths only misreported by D governors) out the first time you said it, I told you that nursing home deaths were misreported in my R state as well, and said it wasn’t a party problem. (IMO, It happened not due to any political party affiliation, but because of the chaos and uncertainty in the beginning of the outbreak.) You have continued to say that it’s only D governors at least twice since then. That’s what I consider to be gaslighting.
You have also been implying that somehow Ds are coordinating the sexual harassment scandal in NY to hide the fact that all these D governors were responsible for thousands of deaths in nursing homes. Which is just kinda crazy, actually. I hope you don’t sincerely believe that.
Meanwhile, DeSantis has been lying through his teeth about all the Covid deaths in Fla. Either that or he's been ignoring a flu epidemic of biblical proportions.
@Farb
And before I could complete this post we downshift the argument into “severe lockdowns” by governors..... so which are we discussing? Lockdowns or Nursing Homes? If it is the latter, please refer back to the first paragraph.
Bernie Sanders sort of disqualifies himself with his left-wing, bit misplaced rants or speeches in the past where he praised Castro's Cuba where at least in their daylong waits for bread and food rations, at least everyone in society, rich or poor, are waiting in line. Strange, asinine defense for praising lack of food and consumer goods in an one-party totalitarian communist dictatorship. He also praised late Hugo Chavez's ram-shackled running of Venezuela's once powerful, thriving oil/natural gas based economy to where the country's currency is equivalent to Zimbabwe and Venezuela has been caught up in an ongoing low-level civil war, violent civil unrest since 2014.
He also hesitated or refused to criticize Chavez's successor, Nicholas Maduro, human rights record of intimidating, harassing political opponents, dissidents, silencing or threatening or even shutting down opposition newspapers, Internet blogs, websites, and forcing a mass, humanitarian catastrophe where hundreds of thousands of ordinary Venezuelans fled to nearby Columbia, Brazil, or further into Central America, "Northern Triangle" countries---Belize, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.

It is as if I have seen this kind of left field claim about hand size before. Seems so odd.
They are not even trying to hide it anymore. They want him to go away due to #metoo so hopefully his and all the other D governors wont be called to the mat for the killing of thousands of us citizens because of their 'lack of science' backed procedures. This is a media hit sting waged on behalf of the DNC.
Oh, I think "self-disqualifying" is a term that needs to remain because if Bernie does ends up winning the DNC primaries last year, there's a very strong chance Trump gets re-elected and we're stuck with an emerging, dangerous would-be autocrat as President for another 4 years and that in of itself, is a far more frightening proposition thank God we won't have to face(hopefully) from Trump ever again. So, I think the DNC establishment was right to be concerned about preventing some fringe left-winger damaging their chances at winning with Biden in 2020.You should read the book on the Biden campaign called "Lucky". In the primary the entire DNC establishment was scared to death Bernie was going to win the nomination. It's an astonishing read when you see how far they went to make sure Bernie didn't win. You can label the man as man things but self-disqualifying in the primary race is not one of them.
On the good end of the spectrum 9 of the 10 best states for controlling the spread of COVID have Democratic governors.
And 6 of the 10 best states for COVID deaths have Democratic governors.
Of course it's not as a simple as saying Republican/Democrat.... there was a pretty wide range of policies implemented by each state. I would be curious to see an analysis of what policies were implemented by states with low COVID spread. I'd also like to look into why COVID deaths did not track with COVID spread in states.

9 out of the 10 worst states for COVID spread are run by Republicans.
For deaths it's 50-50 in the 10 worst states... but the Democrat states had high death rates in the beginning and the Republican states had higher death rates in the last few months. That leads me to believe that strict lockdowns worked in both preventing the spread of COVID and deaths related to COVID (the "Democrat run states" had high death totals in April and May and then dropped dramatically as the lockdowns took effect). In Republican run states you had spikes in October through now in deaths -- which leads me to believe that loosening restrictions early resulted in more spread and more death.
Much like I’m sure Louisiana
You left out the part about Florida having a substantial older population which should have led to even more deaths. Can you post the CDC not believing Florida's death rate?The CDC doesn't believe Florida's official covid death rate. I don't know why anyone would tout it in an comparison. Florida is also the state with the most advantageous weather for no lockdown with year round outdoor dining, and activities.
