In fact, that parallel is pretty spot on in that Sanders supporters were far, far more vocal, much like Trump supporters, but in terms of raw numbers there were significantly fewer of them

most of the worlds population lives in a circle from like pakistan to manchuria to the philippines to java, and i get the impression those folks never really got hung up about some poo poo that people on the sparsely populated side of the world did with their ancient symbol redolent w meaning

I know suit styles and cuts change over the years, you can't walk around now in a suit from the 70's.

But riddle me this: if we got rid of suits, just general office suits altogether and also tuxes, what would you wear to an event? A wedding? Or an office meeting? Or if you were senator? Do you know?

I'm guessing the answer is "collared shirt and dress pants", which is Acceptable Man Uniform #3.

Those who witnessed the awe-inspiring vision said they felt a warm, comforting presence wash over them as the clouds parted and the luminous form of a man in his late 40s with chiseled features and perfectly parted hair descended from the sky above the Republican National Committee building. The mysterious levitating figure, who is said to have worn a brilliantly gleaming American flag lapel pin and an exquisitely tailored shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows (ed note: this is key), reportedly flashed a confident yet disarming smile that, according to accounts, left several onlookers so moved that they began openly weeping.
i just kinda fold the cuffs back twice tho, not all the way to the elbows. im a deep fashion thinker

i like pyjamas and old comfy shirts right before they get so torn i have to throw them away

maybe we should spend a few millennia running fashion so the undergrad thing where girls wear sweatpants/pyjamas and sweatshirts to 8 am classes is acceptable in every setting for women, while guys have to follow every single sumptuary rule in medieval korea's bone rank system or we are kicked and spat upon in the street

that would begin to approach fairness

btw bone rank note: they had a rule that only a SACRED BONE could run the country, which worked until the SACRED BONES dwindled down to just a part of the royal kim family and then finally there was only one SACRED BONE left

and she was a woman

so a guy from the next rank, called the TRUE BONES, said 'ok never mind SACRED BONES dont exist any more and im gonna run the country' and everybody was like 'yeah that seems like the most reasonable way to reconcile this conflict between our tradition of classism and our tradition of sexism'

this ends todays bone rank noet

which like everything in my posts is a half-assed memory of something i learned a decade ago w/ a quick google to see what they called their bones again

tbh i think sanders had a lot more potential voters but they were idiot millennials who never registered or disillusioned and he could have won by energizing properly. i dont see that as much with trump rn.

Don't forget Hitler's contributions to medicine.

Can report this anecdotally there is something weird going on with early voting this year in Dallas that makes me thing voting in general in Texas is going to be very unusual this year.

I met up with a group of buddies on Monday for happy hour and almost all of them had either voted early or were planning on voting early and urged me to do so as well.

Overarching theme with everyone I have talked to about it is just wanting this loving election to be over already.

CORAL GABLES, FL—Staring unblinkingly ahead Thursday night as Donald Trump’s presidential acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention played on the television in front of him, former GOP candidate Jeb Bush reportedly whispered “Low-Energy Jeb” to himself while sitting alone in the dark. “Low-Energy Jeb; Low-Energy Jeb,” the two-term governor of Florida is said to have quietly mumbled under his breath, his expressionless, stubble-covered face and stained T-shirt lit only by the flickering glow of the TV set while he sat on the sofa in his basement rec room, a day-old and half-empty Chinese food takeout container sitting on the side table next to him as he fixedly watched his former competitor in the presidential race speak to a packed arena. “Weak candidate. Weak. By far the weakest of the lot.” At press time, a faint smile had curled across the onetime presidential frontrunner’s chapped lips as he muttered a fully memorized victory speech aloud, thanking the people of Iowa for their resounding support and telling a nonexistent crowd of supporters that they had launched him on his path to the White House.

The real, main takeaway from the polling is that Trump cannot break the 38-40% range.

There's just no way you get 40% or less of the popular and win, or even come close to winning. I can't think of a way that happens

they won't, but a man can dream. keep going washoe

i get the impression that the turnout armageddon where conservative white peopl dont show up and minorities do is continuing to increase in likelihood? thats nice although i feel like in the end i'll be disappointed


on another note: its sorta interesting to me that lake tahoe is divided between like two states, five counties, and three congressional districts

btw fun tahoe fact, if the lake were drained it'd take 600 years of natural rainfall to refill it. the lake is like 80% of its watershed

i wish i could find a bigger version of this picture, i saw it in a book in a washoe county public library. the lake is basically this gigantic bowl of perfect water perched on top of a mountain range with a massive desert under it. i found a newer picture but whoever took this one back in the day got the perfect angle


apparently there's only 50k permanent residents in the watershed tho so i guess it wouldnt have much political heft anyway

i should get on dave's redistricting site and find out what the partisanship is up there - ski towns are usually liberal, but rich people are usually conservative (very non-trump tho), so i wonder how it all shakes out. and sub-county breakouts of nevada caucus results would be interesting too, i bet rubio or kasich did very well there. someday i will type these things into google

Early voting either means they loving love Trump so much that they can't wait to put their ballot in for Orange Fascist, or they loving hate him so much that they can't wait to put their ballot in against him. It'll be interesting to see which one that ends up being.

How did your friends vote?

i love that he's from a place called chagrin falls

oh drat here we go



i figured out calvin lived in ohio bc in the story arc where they went to thee moon and there was a fairly hamfisted environmentalist moral, on the way back hobbes had a line like 'i think we're right next to the first a in america' or whatever and i consulted my atlas and noticed that was ohio

i was a kid in florida and with all the hills, trees, and snow it was pretty obvious he wasnt from my area
