How Gandall twists the numbers:

That foundation in that survey reported, " Communism is viewed favorably by 
around one-in-three Millennials—this is up 8 points from 2018." Gandall deleted 
the last clause that shows a sharp rise for one year.

In any event, the rise in a favorable view of communism among young adults is 
not a matter of the last seven or eight years, which is still the period after 
Sanders' presidential run. The notable change is from ten, twenty, and thirty 
years ago.

Was Gandall as unreliable about facts ten, twenty, and thirty years ago? Or is 
his dishonesty relatively recent?
