correlations at best when its thrown around.

I've read the paper, because I was interested, and opt in polling is garbage while randomly selected is mostly okay except for gauging turnout importantly. I appreciate the info, but we are clearly not in agreement about expecting people to read papers thrown around, I like it, but 95% its spurious

that we're going to need to make other polling methodologies, like texting or texting then phone call, work. I'm skeptical how much we're currently succeeding at that, but I have no reason to disbelieve Katherine that we're about 5 years into trying. She's been good faith.

Hi, the belief that young men answer their phones the least of any voting group was my presumption, right or wrong. It's a belief I hold at strong hypothesis level, let's say. I just happen to also be named Andrew, but I am not "beatorganizer" Andrew. I ultimately agree with Katherine that

I'm fascinated. horrified. totally fixated. you simply cannot reason with a certain kind of person. do they think this is going to be like contesting a mistaken parking ticket. (yes, probably.) what a weird way to prove you have zero irl arab friends

Fair enough, I don't know NY rules. I know this message appeals to progressives, (current) renters, and homeowners in California. Would-be renters hate it, but they literally can't vote on it.

I'm surprised so few of them make HEPA filters the corner stone of their advocacy. It's the intervention most people don't notice or are bothered by.

You grossly misestimate yimby alignment with liberals. The People’s Republic of China has 250 million renters and full blown capitalist yimby housing. Is Zohran bad for housing yes. Is Cuomo bad for EVERYTHING x10, yes yes yes.

It makes you wonder if it woulda mattered if people had donated to an actual organization before this window, and take your pick there surely must be a few orgs you think are acceptable. Shit just went down however you feel about it. The regime is looking for live bodies, why are people doing this..

It's worse than that. If she gets people jammed up in a "funding terrorism" debacle, the regime is going to twist that into them funding hamas, no matter where the money is going. In the last two days some aid has been let through right before an event that fostered distrust among many people.

The military hasn't been against Trump, but they haven't exactly been with Trump, especially with the Hegseth debacle. If the military ends up with Trump, then yeah Pax Americana is over over. If they refuse a serious order, then I think some kind of peace will be back.

And he's not wrong about the sheer enormity of lives at stake. You don't and can't deal with every problem in the world, but you can at least acknowledge there are other valid problems. This was the fast option for an emergency vaccine in case of pandemic.

The only people I know of who claim Trump is honest is maga. To be fair, if you think these people's hypocrisy are signs they are reachable good luck, but I think that ship has sailed. I dislike hypocrites because they're less easily confronted with very predictable consequences of their actions.

Boggles the mind why you don't immediately see this guy as moveable. Anyways, apparently flashlights are still a thing for SPRs, what doesn't weigh a ton, cause I just added about 2.5 pounds to my upper receiver.

This guy thinks Shah is genuine in her belief, just not whoever her handler is. Apparently people are finding IPs from some of these accounts from Myanmar and Thailand. Like just USAID and HIV alone is 20 million people who will die horribly over 3-5 years if their disease is uncontrolled.

I ended up finding an Athlon Ares ETR 3-18x50 and now I have an unintended SPR that's heavy and clunky. I'm sorry, but there's almost no one left of center that is a gun enthusiast. You alienate people who are sympathetic to your cause, surely you can see that.

My grandparents somehow lived through the worst famine in recorded human history because no ML was willing to say people were starving. No one left punches harder than the left.

They mostly aren't falling for these scams. Not a single leftist has affirmed these accounts who are following and liking them as well as I. When I ask leftists if these are real people, every single leftist dodges the question. They know these are bots, they just don't want to be branded a racist.

I don't doubt that text messaging is being attempted, but I have this skepticism that it'll produce reliable predictive data. There's something very "self-administered anonymous internet survey" about it.

Hi adam, I’m a biologist. A lot of women with a lot of whiteboards have taught me a lot of things. Most of us voted for Katie Porter after what you pulled with Steve Garvey. Thank you for blowing smoke up my ass for 14 minutes, knowing you’re taking crypto-lobby money that destroys our environment.

How exactly does a political survey reach males younger than 35? Like literally, how do they get this demographic to pick up a number that isn’t in their phone?

I know, I think I saw Jimmy Carter in a video speaking for them in some capacity a while back.

Not nearly enough, but momentarily the answer seems to be yes. If you have concerns you could simply buy medicine. Most meds don't have much of a use or value apart from treating their diseases.

After psychologically and financially abusing his babies momma for months, Donny Boy has promised his babies momma half of the owed child support, leading to her resurgent confidence in his ability to provide.

And should, in part.
One of the most radical moves in postwar US politics and society was Pat Brown's creation of the UC/Calstate/community college system that made higher ed a readily affordable (for a brief shining moment) opportunity for every Californian. (W. emulation, every American.)

You sooooo have! I'm not even gonna oppose it even a little, but I think political science should study this as Neocons "neoconing".

It's like their fiery Neocon hearts yearn for regimes to overthrow. This is their inner Heisenberg.
comment in response to

Omg you're all so correct. That's why the neocons seem positively thrilled and somehow running to the left of Dem leadership. This is their craft. They're telling an insurgent disaffected population what it needs to hear to overthrow their regime which threatens US interests.

This is what happens when morality of beliefs becomes the sole benchmark upon which you judge politics.
Outcomes, actions, effectiveness, necessary compromise, none of this matters. Just purity of belief.
