How come we don’t call cruise missiles, “suicide rockets”?

Well, don’t set any data centers on fire.

That’s too many positions to research for just one race. Five to six would probably be about the right amount of candidates for a single seat RCV.

I think [open] primaries still have a place to help weed out the field and narrow in on specific candidates.

You added a zero (to yesterday’s tally).

And is casualties, not deaths. Casualties includes wounded.

They are probably going to come in talking about how great they are for the planet. Spreading the gospel and all that; the Stone Age doesn’t produce as many greenhouse gases as the industrial age, after all.

Maybe fix the structure - the whole voting system - rather than just putting more of the same into the never ending circle jerk?

Democrats had their chance to make reforms and ignored it. Both parties oppose election reform because it threatens their [current] control.

The people are to blame.

Also, don’t say, “I wasn’t aware it was so important to you.” That’s definitely a trigger phrase.

Try, “Thank you for letting me know this is important for you,” (or “how you feel”) instead.

This is the way.

That lady was being terribly divisive with her shirt.

You know, it was tough, but in the end we won. With 11 boys for and 10 girls against.

I’ll play the advocate here. What good would persecution do now? They wouldn’t stop him in time. All that would do is allow Trump and Musk to claim political persecution.

And if they did start an investigation, would it be complete before the election? What if they filed charges before? So what.

Smart play is to wait. Win. Prosecute with four years of time ahead.

Basically… maybe they will do something still?

There are three decisions a leader can make: Yes, no, not right now.

Someone watched the Garfield movie and said, “This gives me an idea…”

No, but I bet it’s multiple of 6!

Freezy peaches you say?

I’ll give you your references. Will have to read later.

I’ve seen the reports. I highly doubt any of the arm chair statisticians (who have never taken a day of mathematical or proof-level stats) have a clue what they are talking about. The polls’ histories and lean are factored into 538’s averages. They are not new to this.

And how many polls are left leaning? The graph posted a couple of days ago on midwest claims 35% are right leaning, and a correlation with the drop in support for Harris. What it doesn’t say is the proportion of democratic polls, and there really isn’t a correlation over the length of history shown.

Hard to make informed decisions when half the information is hidden. (But arm chair statisticians don’t recognize the issue do they?)

Lol at people downvoting what they don’t want to hear.

Credibility: High - Factual Reporting: High

On a positive note, Harris is still leading 4/7 swing states in the WaPo averages: https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2024/presidential-polling-averages/

Ugh. I blame it on autocorrect and swipe.

Yes, absolutely Serbian. You can tell because of the way they are.

• Despite sanctions, Russia adapts by engaging with strategic partners like China to circumvent restrictions.

• China has replaced Western nations as a major supplier of goods to Russia, with trade between the two reaching $240 billion in 2023. In 2021, the total trade between the two countries was approximately $147 billion.

• Specific exports from China to Russia include CNC machines, semiconductors, microelectronics, ball bearings, nitrocellulose, drones, and construction equipment.

• The Sino-Russian relationship has deepened, with both nations criticizing the U.S. and increasing their cooperation.

Bottom line: China don’t care. But we knew this already.
