i dunno. right now it seems like the establishment dems are only backing establishment candidates again. if they're refusing to fund candidates that aren't washington insiders, it kinda makes us suckers to elect their preferred candidates.

some more fun details from that poll

also i think nobody's allowed to see the actual vote tallies yet, so the numbers being discussed currently are gathered based on party affiliation, not actual vote cast. but im not sure of that

we'll see how election day turnout ends up (it will likely be bad for dems) but dem is performing very, very well in ev. gop typically has strong edge in this district

well the composition of the unaffiliateds is pretty important, but the thing there is that in GA the unaffiliated = people who have never participated in a primary before. those are surge voters, and more likely to be democrats than republicans. the revily poll gave ossoff 63% of early voters (fwiw since it's not a great poll).

predicting tuesday is a fool's errand, imo. there's no way to know for sure what's happening without counting the votes given the uncertainty about turnout, but the idea that this race is over is just wrong. the ev is very good, and gop turnout is still dramatically underperforming.

pretty sure that's just listing which primary someone voted in last if they did so, not party affiliation overall

ga is an open primary state

yes that's what i was saying

i mean look at the ev comparison between 2014 and 2017

https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/853052281792671748

if dems are voting like this is 2014, and gop is voting like it's a primary, then that's the ballgame and ossoff will hit 50%. so there's a lot of reason for dems to feel encouraged by ev (but again, still vast amounts of uncertainty re: outcome)

ok idk what you're arguing about. i am talking about michael mcdonald's graph of ga-06 ev, a state with no party registration. i am saying the people in gray, unaffiliated, are likely strongly dem leaning.
