[Source] It's part of a series done by 3D artist Radoslav Zilinsky that's about 10 years old now called "Worth Enough?" that's been co-opted by a fuckton of people across the internet because of how striking and iconic an image it is.

Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:30k now I was looking this guy up as he works for my fave publication down here (The Jackson Free Press). He has a website, Deep South Voice, where he posted about a Change Research Poll indicating Espy had a double digit lead in Mississippi and Cyndi Hyde Smith was far behind. That wasn't even close to accurate (or at least that's not what the actual vote tally showed). What is this Change Research? Also here is the article: http://deepsouthvoice.com/index.php/2018/11/06/poll-democrat-mike-espy-leads-by-12-points-in-mississippis-u-s-senate-race/

eke out posted:re: Florida recount ballot design This is reassuring, however with the numbers reported (25k fewer votes for Senator than governor) I still think it would put Nelson short of Scott, assuming a ~2:1 Nelson:Scott ratio of votes for those 25k votes. However, if this error only occurred in heavily Democratic precincts in Broward perhaps Nelson could overtake Scott. Bottom line is I don’t see this being resolved any time soon, and the difference between a 52/48 and 53/47 Senate seems kind of big right now. (Also gently caress Rick Scott, who seems to win every election by the narrowest of margins). I hope Democrats have people in EVERY county making sure the recount process is fair.

SKULL.GIF posted:Semi-related to the healthcare discussion, do American medical schools still artificially restrict the number of doctors? Sadly yes. Its one of the few healthcare problems not unique to the USA though (its a huge problem in Canada, the UK and Australia as well). Med school being stupid expensive to keep the list of applicants low is another thing I think we all share as well.

selec posted:Barro would 100% vote GOP if any meaningful leftist reform or candidate was put to the vote. He is a reliable left punching dipshit without an original thought in his head. Josh Barro is an actual registered Republican (or was until Trump got elected) who interned with Grover Norquist. He's just like millennial Never Trump so people get confused.

In Scott's case, a)he's won regardless, since any possible ballot issue is on the Senate side and he's up too much, and b)he controls the entire electoral machine of the state. So he's pretty much just loving around with his side's confidence in democracy to own the libs.

The estimates range from like .5% to 5% of the overall population, depending on who exactly you consider "psychopathic". It's not that hard to imagine they self-select into the only occupation in this country that is basically synonymous with corruption and immorality.

Slightly unconvinced of this reasoning considering that everyone knew about Whitmer's BCBS ties but Whitmer won a convincing, crushing victory compared to Dana Nessel, who was far more vocal about her progressive bonafides and barely squeaked by. Also this was the highest midterm participation in Michigan in 50 years. LinYutang fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Nov 11, 2018 |

In fairness to Dana, Whitmer had the benefit of campaigning against Schutte—an AG so openly opportunistic and despised that the sitting Republican governor refused to endorse him. I definitely agree with your larger point, though.

Dana Nessel had some of the worst attack ads I've ever seen in Michigan and legal weed was on the ballot so of course, turnout was high. I don't actually disagree with your sentiment, Whitmer didn't really pretend to be anything other than standard liberal Dem and I (kinda) appreciate that. Also, she probably (in a liberal sense) sees this as the right way to make healthcare affordable. But I don't think you can gauge the support of socialism/progressivism/liberalism from that election.
