badatom posted:So I'm still trying to understand why it looks like Ohio is suddenly trending red. We went for Obama +5 in 2008 and +3 in 2012, and Hillary has had an equivalent ground game and presence here. And John Kasich was one of the few holdouts that never endorsed Trump, for what that's worth. I guess my question is, how much should I drink on election night? Ohio is full of retards, sorry

You could no more be a hipster than a slacker or a yuppie.

So assuming Hillary wins and the Republicans try and impeach her, should we just nuke the US and get it over with?

a shameful boehner posted:Ohio is full of retards, sorry The hardest thing about having an intellectual disability is the loneliness. We process information slower than everyone else. So even normal conversation is a constant battle for us not to lose touch with what the rest of you are saying. Most of the time the words and thoughts just go too fast for us to keep up, and when we finally say something it seems out of place. We are aware when all the rest of you stop and just look at us. We are aware when you look at us and just say, “unh huh,” and then move on, talking to each other. You mean no harm, but you have no idea how alone we feel even when we are with you. That is why I love being a Global Messenger. I work for days telling my dad what I want to talk about and he tries to write it down for me. Then we do it over and over until we have something that says what I mean. We wrote this letter the same way. So, what’s wrong with “retard”? I can only tell you what it means to me and people like me when we hear it. It means that the rest of you are excluding us from your group. We are something that is not like you and something that none of you would ever want to be. We are something outside the “in” group. We are someone that is not your kind.

PerniciousKnid posted:Sure, if you have some reason to be confident in that. You could also point out that Trump has been making bad press constantly to boost Clinton's numbers, and this might be only the first or second week since the primaries that Trump has stayed out of the spotlight. I wasn't trying to argue actual numbers. At a bare minimum, assuming the candidates really don't matter, we should have some estimate for the probability the incumbent party picks up a third consecutive term. It won't be a coin flip. We should have estimates for how economic factors affect the incumbent party (and also D and R) win probabilities. We have party registrations and demographics to estimate turnout. No election is going to be a literal coin flip, even if you ignore the candidates. If being the incumbent party seeking its third term consistently hurts you by 1 point, we now have an expectation of a 50.5 to 49.5 split, leading to some expected probability that the 50.5 side would win, given the uncertainty in our estimate of the "incumbent third term penalty." Then we see Dems have a few point registration advantage but a few point turnout disadvantage, so we can bake in those estimates. And on and on. A true coin flip win probability is just highly unlikely, so I don't think it makes any principled sense to assume it.

Essentially anyone smart with money left Ohio ages ago. And Ohio's cities aren't Blue enough to counter the red everywhere else. Chicago and Northern Illinois are the only thing keeping Illinois from being Ohio.

Young Hegelian posted:The 5% rule is interesting because it's a direct result of the Nazis, if I recall correctly. The idea is that by barring parties that can't get 5% nationally you reduce the risk of a minor party getting an outsized platform for expressing demagogic views. It's actually most often explained to be the result of the political realities of the Weimar Republic, so pre-nazis. From 1918 on there often were close to 20 different political parties in the Reichstag, which made getting anything done extraordinarily difficult. That's the common story. However the 5% rule was only adopted in '53, and some people point out that it was very effective at making sure that Adenauer's CSU party effectively became the only viable party in his neck of the woods (Bavaria).

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:John Franklin Stephens Sorry. I wont use the term again. I get extremely frustrated with voters in red states. Its beyond simple ignorance at this point. You only vote Republican anymore if you have active, open malice towards Others unlike you and genuinely believe that the republic would be better off as a xenophobic nativist oligarchy. So gently caress Republicans, and their voters too, but i will mind the phrases used better
