skylined! posted:actually if you read the last twenty pages going back to the beginning of the election results i believe you will find that it is indeed many people's position. also of thousands of 'progressives' on twitter, but i guess that's not wholly relevant. Why are you comparing presidential turnout numbers to special election turnout numbers? The midterms would be a better comparison, but even then you should expect a depressed turnout. 2014 midterms was 139,018 R to 71,486 D 2017 special was 134,595 R to 124,893 D The story here is that this was a very good turnout the republicans and an astoundingly good turnout the democrats for a special election.

SPOILER ALERT here's what the next few years will hold: -Supreme Court upholds political gerrymandering, giving the big  to what the GOP did in 2010.-Resistance to Trump starts to die down as it becomes the new normal, along with the Dems refusing to move off their centrist message and having no candidates worth a poo poo, in addition to a demotivated base who expects to lose following the special elections. -2018 is a GOP wave, picking up 30-40 seats in the House to take a 270-150ish lead, along with a 67-33 lead in the Senate which includes victories over VP candidate Tim Kaine and Dem darling Elizabeth Warren. -2020 continues the momentum as Trump cruises to a 350+ electoral college victory, along with the house now going over 300 seats to the GOP and the Senate going 70+ seats to the GOP. -Most importantly GOP wins continue at the local level, giving them enough states to call for a constitutional convention, meaning all bets are off. -Everything burns.

Mmmmmm, this is not what Covok told us all last night. Your numbers are suspect. But seriously, this whole GA-06 thing is done and over. Talking heads spent the days leading it up to it specifically stating that the results were going to be overinterpretted regardless of outcome before doing exactly that. They weren't wrong, and they are hyping because business.

boner confessor posted:i dont disagree with your numbers here but i look at it from a different perspective. since you're comparing the 2016 general to the 2017 special election in my opinion it's better to say not so much that handel lost this many voters moving from a big to a small election, but that ossoff managed to turn out nearly as many voters as the general election. the end result is the same regardless fair, and a positive spin.  i'm not sure there's a surefire way to get a real apples to apples comparison. does anyone want to self-identify as a successful political strategist and provide further insight? also this is funny and i like angus king https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/877582177025761280

I actually remember running a call at a Nursing Home , they weren't voting ,but they had huge signs , and sign up schedules for bus rides which included a free lunch at Sizzler or some place. They're not going to gently caress around with the Nursing Home industry that's all I can say.

Hollismason posted:They're not going to gently caress around with the Nursing Home industry that's all I can say. You can claim that 2 + 2 =/= 4 all day, but it appears you're very wrong. They are passing legislation that the AARP is absolutely livid about. This is going to completely gently caress over the ability for many people to pay their nursing home bills, at a time when there is a boom in nursing homes.

The old gerrymandering case where Kennedy threw his hands up in frustration was Vieth v. Jubelirir, decided 12 years ago. It was a 4-1-4 decision, and since Kennedy's concurrence was the 5th vote, his opinion is what counts. https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/02-1580.ZS.html Scalia wrote the plurality opinion, and it was pretty snarky. He wanted to just outright declare "gently caress you, gerrymandering is fine", but that wouldn't get Kennedy's vote, so he reluctantly went along with the "we have no way of figuring out an illegal gerrymander." However, Scalia wanted to just declare that after 18 years of courts trying to find a method, thats long enough to say that no such method exists, and ban all gerrymandering cases from now on based on that. Kennedy wouldn't go along with it, and said that they haven't found one yet, but maybe someday academia will figure something out, which is what set off the mad scramble to find the magical gerrymandering-determining method that Kennedy would approve of. Scalia spent several paragraphs mocking Kennedy's optimism, and that it would lead to more pointless litigation.

I doubt they'll gently caress with Medicare other than to turn it into a voucher system in 20 years or some dumb poo poo. The Medicaid cuts are what I am concerned about.

Per the graph above, Medicaid covers 64% of nursing home residents. This is part of the reason the AARP is railing against it. It provides long-term care services.
