The site in the original post is a communist propaganda/misinformation hive. And they need your donations to survive. The Sanders foundation won't pony up. LOL.

sure would be nice to spend time and money truly attempting to get at the truth, rather than partisans on each side being unable to make a point without jabbing at the other.
just the article linked, the author/proponent took 16 whole words before calling it "uniquely inefficient and immoral".
