problem can’t be solved with excel? skill issue
We've added 2022 election data for Utah. Thanks to @vest_team (election.lab.ufl.edu/precinct-data/). Cheers!
We will find out soon which Democrat(s) will advance to the CA16 Nov. runoff against former SJ Mayor Sam Liccardo soon. If both Asm Evan Low and Sup Joe Simitian are still tied, then both advance to November. This is retiring Anna Eshoo’s seat in Silicon Valley.
Can someone do this for the United States. I wanna see different states
Before 2022, the last time the Pennsylvania Democrats won the State House was back in 2008. They won 104 seats that year, but featured a totally different coalition than what Obama put up to win at the same time. Rural, WWC support for the Dems offset suburban Obama/GOP voters.
family guy's been on air for 25 yrs. south park's been on even longer. archer, american dad, etc. it's not just animation either! LARRY DAVID's curb ran for 12 SEASONS. JLD won 6 EMMYS for making offensive jokes in veep. seems like a you problem!

@bdquinn They should talk to me. I’ve been crushing her these last 5 years
Even as Colorado has gotten quite a bit bluer, the state's 3rd Congressional District has moved in the opposite direction. It voted more right of the state in 2022 than 2014, in every statewide race.
This is considered to be heresy in Candidate Quality World but… - Cal Cunningham would probably have lost without the affair anyways. - Espy 2020 was about equal in candidate strength to Warnock - Ossoff 2020 was better than both of them

@PoliticalKiwi The thing is that nobody in the data weeds will ever believe that Jon Ossoff was as strong of a candidate as Mike Espy and yet that’s what all the evidence suggests. If Ds outspent Rs 4:1 in GA and if Rs barely spent anything, those results would be very different. Money matters!
will keep saying that if your progressive PAC, union, or interest group has any interest in state politics, Politics 101 is a lost art in New Jersey and you'll be able to catch incumbents off guard with campaign basics

“It’s despicable that schools would allow another country’s flag to fly in our country,” Mayor Adams says - a shocking message from someone who raises other country’s flags over Bowling Green to honor their people ALL THE TIME.
RHODE ISLAND PARTY REGISTRATION CHANGES While thought of as a solidly Democratic state, Rhode Island has seen its Dem voter registration %age steadily slip, and the benefit has generally accrued to Inds, who have been a plurality of registered voters since Jan 2021. (1/2)
@PolitiCatGrump If he just said something along the lines of “don’t overreach” I think it’d cover enough bases
Maybe you think that the risk outweighs the reward (that’s another debate that could be had) but I don’t agree with the idea that it’d have no impact.
I actually don’t think it’s crazy to think that Biden criticizing the NYPD would have an impact. There are plenty of Dem party faithful who’ll take these criticisms seriously if they come from Biden. And it’d cut through the cable news coverage that’s downplaying what happened.
Couldn’t agree more. It will accomplish absolutely nothing, will make no one feel better, he will be pilloried for it from all angles, and in fact it will probably make things worse for all parties involved. But he should still do it, these videos are horrifying.
Vacate Week is the new Infrastructure Week
🚨 Rep GREENE says she will call her motion to oust Speaker Johnson NEXT WEEK. She dares Democrats to vote for Mike Johnson for Speaker. “You know something? I want to see that happen. I want a recorded vote.”
DELAWARE VOTER REGISTRATION CHANGES DE is a state (like CO) where Reps seen scant improvement in their voter registration numbers. However, Dems have lost registrants as well; any gains have almost entirely accrued to the Independents.

This is why basing your politics on who is mean to you on twitter is a moral and ideological dead end
oh hey another point in the "brianna wu taking a turn to the right" column these are back to back
The thing about the self-appointed “common sense” peddlers on here is that a lot of them use that banner to paper over their own intellectual laziness IMO. Insisting that there are no alternatives to last night when we’ve seen myriad real world examples of them isn’t common sense
@PolitiCatGrump @notkavi Right, and I get the point he was trying to make, but it’s not convincing to me to use WIP footage of a “finished product” (MB) as an argument against his reviews of what are also being generally marketed as finished products
@PolitiCatGrump @AndyRMike The other major difference is the one that marques points out in the replies, which is that YouTube videos don't cost anything. The other main difference is that YouTube channels grow organically, unlike product launches
@notkavi I was gonna joke that the person you were QTing was a VC but then I clicked through and they're a self-described founder. food for thought
@notkavi How does he just ignore the fact that Marques became famous *because* he became more consistent and (arguably) more competent?
@m43day Eh I think it's better explained by the fact that he's the biggest american tech reviewer rn by far, their current batch of products sucks, and they just hate negative press
useful heuristic for parsing twitter takes on politics
My most unfounded belief is that the Twitter Left and the protestors turning against Biden makes me feel surprisingly better about his chances. This site is often a pretty good reverse indicator of the electorate’s mood. (Don’t ask me to present any evidence. It’s just a vibe.)
