  1. This is what makes him the worst president of all time. In my opinion even someone like John Tyler didn’t do what he did for personal reasons. He supported secession because he wanted the country direction to be different.* Trump on the other hand tried to counter the single biggest underlying assumption in our country for personal ambition and gain. * forgive the very forgiving terminology.
  2. You’ll get jumped but … One big issue for me: how can you get past fake election/fraud votes/tape recorded call to Ga Sec of State telling him to add 12k votes/Jan 6. There is no policy decision anyone could have on either side that could overwhelm the fact that the guy you’re voting for has so little respect for the ideals of democracy. That is the heart of our country.
  3. I think the deep motivation underneath it all is a belief they are voting for their interest. If you're a left-behind uneducated white person, its rational to believe that voting for a racist system will provide fewer opportunities to black people, which means more opportunities to you.
  4. I think demographics has NC trending blue and FL trending further red. Charlotte is looking at 10% increase in population since 2020.
  5. had to double check because that would be the funniest, but no it doesn't have that.
  6. lulz at every possible implication of this. it gotta watch this section (n.b.: i absolutely will not) to see if it really says this. black people very much love lower conviction rates because they like innocent people being tried. or maybe it is black people want more criminals to get off. or maybe it is black people like prosecutors that overcharge. it's something like this.
  7. I have a little bit of a fear that it’s hard to move people this late in the race. Once you’ve opened your mind to voting for somebody, you start considering their good points and maybe playing defense for their positions. Changing this late feels to some like an admission that they were wrong. No one wants to do that.
  8. Japan loses 800,000 people last year, even while supplementing foreign born by 300,000 https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/25/japan/society/japan-population/
  9. I love Pete but I will be absolutely terrified if he's the pick.
  10. First thing I've seen with a Biden ranking. It's not in easy copy and paste format, but a survey of 150 poly sci guys put Biden 14, Trump last. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/opinion/trump-lies-charts-data.html
  11. about 20,000 acre-feet straight to LBJ in the last six hours, which presumably will be passed straight to travis. thats a nice 2% bump.
  12. If they think Vance is a mistake, it’s far far more likely he just fades into the background. No one gives a shit about VP.
  13. A lot of ifs in there. Not a lot of ifs in hating brown makes white love me.
