You asked "provide support your opinion/argument." I did. I gave you plenty of references.
Bothsiderism - ergo, there are only 2 sides - ergo, "ur either with us or against us" neo-lib thinking - > ergo, binary thinking again - ergo, spider.

Anywho, you did apologize, so benefit of the doubt and all that...carry on!

To their credit many of your QAnon/Repub cohorts at the very least provide some form of evidence / data (minus the "cut-and-paste" artists), to support their claims/opinions.
Since you "admire" them so much, you would do well to follow their example and support your claims/opinions when you post, much like when you ask it of other BMs.
Again noted here:

The "Joe Author" reference material is much appreciated, but you still have not told me what you think w/r to the question, followed by the reference material affirming your claims/opinions.
I understand, thinking for yourself, might actually mean standing up for something, but really, it not that hard if your have the courage of your convictions?
I'm beginning to think you don't actually think for yourself much.

There were plenty of Hillary advantages in the double digits at that time. Then, as usual, the polls tighten as each side pitches their pros and cons of the other.
Surely you don't think that consensus of polls' 10 point advantage for Bernie would have held or expanded all while Trump, Miller and Bannon were tapping into their warehouse of anti Semitic, anti Socialist, Ageist attack tools over the next several months, do you?
That warehouse is likely better stocked than their anti Woman, anti Clinton warehouse.

And they are never shy about slamming Dems or Biden where the data justifies it. Then you will see the info in those articles repeated elsewhere, in sources that rarely require a subscription.

After that, the only thing Repubs did was sniff around Clinton's balls and dick to find out where they'd been until Gingrich was kick out of office in humiliation.
LOL. The revisionist history about these things by Repubs and Repub Bothsiders is astonishing.

But I can speak for myself. You ask me to provide support for my opinion that we are in the End Times of Capitalism. Well, you can find many excellent books full of evidence on the subject. It is well documented and not something I can sum up in a forum post here. If you want the contents of long books summarized in to a few words, then you will most of the points (which it looks like you already did).

I have read several books by economist Harry Shutt. And I learnt that the main economic theories taught at university are a complete sham; what we take to be 'fact' are in truth a narrow dead-end view of what current economics is. He wrote: The Trouble with Capitalism, An Enquiry into the Causes of Global Economic Failure. This book's subject matter is self-explanatory. You can read a superb intro here: https://www.bloomsburycollections.co...e/introduction.
He then wrote Beyond the Profits System. Possibilities for a Post-Capitalist Era, another excellent read and superb insight into possible solutions. "Since 2008, we have found ourselves confronted by an historic financial holocaust that world leaders have struggled to come to terms with. All have willfully ignored its long-term, systemic causes and are thus unable to chart a way to survival. Their continued denial stems from a vested interest in maintaining a capitalist profits system which is not only as destructive as it was in the 1930's but as outmoded as feudalism was in 1789. Thus it can now only be sustained by an increasing reliance to official misinformation, massive criminal fraud and the ever greater dependence of private corporations on state subsidy. ".
The book explains why attempts of Western governments to use 'extraordinary measures' to try and avert economic collapse are bound to fail, and why our only hope of reversing the tide is to abandon the traditional economic logic of endlessly expanding production in favour of responding to the aspirations of ordinary people. Such a transformation would make possible the allocation of resources to more socially desirable ends, including the assurance of basic economic security for all as a human right.

Shutt is one of the few to expose capitalism's lies and imperfections, faults that critically threaten our democratic survival. ' - Publishers Weekly.
'Offers no easy answers, but suggests the West is going to have to face the fact that profit-maximising capitalism has run its course. ' - Tribune.
'Based on wide knowledge, well documented source material and sharp analysis, everyone who reads it will learn from it. ' - Liberation.

Edit: Sorry, after reading JustTK's post, I don't really understand what this is all about. But I never want to lose a chance to point out the superiority of small government, so am not deleting the post.

But I digress, worst POTUS of our lifetimes? Nope I'm guessing that title will goto BUBBA until the end of time.
I could give Joe a tie with BUBBA but hes actually in 2nd place, nobody could outdo the damage BUBBA did.
