Midjack posted:This just means insulin will no longer be offered for sale in that state. It'll be interesting to see how that works. Currently there are three insulin manufacturers in the US. If two companies stop distributing insulin to that state can the third company resist 100% market dominance for even 50$? or will their long term greed hold out and just stop a flow of insulin entirely until the state bows? edit: On the flip side I dunno how feasible it is, but if there was political will power to do it would be hard to spin up some sort of state owned insulin manufacturer. They could just undercut the competition by 50% and probably still come out a head. edit2: You could probably capture markets in the immediate area outside of the state as well.

https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1236053003846615040 Weeding out the most passionate portion of his voting bloc is definitely A Thing, but I'm not sure I'd count it as a strategy. Interesting note on COVID-19 and there's some  here given who's presumably in charge of the administration's response, but I'll let it speak for itself:https://twitter.com/DrDenaGrayson/status/1235909923986386945 It's good news, if it ends up being something they can reliably replicate. Thailand is already busy working on it. What doctors think is happening is that the bulk of the damage being done in fatal cases is the result of the immune system going completely bugfuck, basically loving wrecking the lung tissue entirely once the virus is done doing its dirty work. It's why a lot of fatalities have seemed to be on the mend, then suddenly get a lot loving worse. That's the hypothesis, anyway, and the treatments seem to be pointing in that direction. I don't know yet if it's the primary reason that the disease is fatal. On fatalities... https://twitter.com/scottleibrand/status/1236013225218469889 This is more good news. IIRC: -> CFR - Case Fatality Rate - fatality rate as judged by number of diagnosed cases -> IFR - Infection Fatality Rate - best estimate of what the fatality rate will be This is more or less repeating what's already being said. COVID19 is still a lot more dangerous than the flu, still wash the gently caress out of your hands, but it paints a picture that's a bit less grim than some reports might lead you to believe. Like that 3.4% fatality rate that WHO put out (though I think they made it clear that it was primarily CFR they were referring to). Election wise, this is a thread that I think people need to look at where it comes to Biden and his position w/ black voters. https://twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/1235253529582931969 Same thing goes for women being dismissed for feeling feelings about Warren being out. Black Americans, which, make no mistake, are the backbone of the party, and women both, have not appreciated being shouted at, re: you don't know anything, you're low-info voters, you're idpol shills, or you're just goddamn idiots. And most of the people doing the shouting are white dudes, which  I mean, it's not a good look. Put women and POC out front to do your talking is what I'd tell most people. With Warren out I'll be going to Sanders, and these are things to keep in mind moving forward.Some people won't be won over, though, and this is the part that looks bad for Sanders. https://twitter.com/michaelharriot/status/1235747743005642753 EDIT: Words Old Boot fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Mar 7, 2020 |

Joe Biden had the reputation of a gaffe-prone error machine that would do nothing but say idiotic things to stir bad headlines. Then he became Obama's VP pick and he just... didn't anymore! Worst I can think of was when he came out (lol) for gay marriage, when Obama really, really, really wanted to stick to the civil union horseshit. That finally made Obama get off his rear end to be gay and do crimes. Also, this seems to be a trend - the states don't need the positive test results to know that the federal poo poo is hosed and public stuff needs to be shut down in the badly hit areas. https://twitter.com/abc7newsbayarea/status/1236149733300809732

The thread talks about how southern black voters are very educated and just don't believe Sanders can do M4A because the health industry will never let it happen. So they will pull the lever for whoever has D.

It wasn't the University of Washington specifically, it was a collaboration of Western Washington academic medical facilities created to understand the spread of the flu called the Seattle Flu Study. The loophole was that they were testing for research purposes which is not directly under the purview of the CDC. https://twitter.com/BrianMFloyd/status/1234989036936159233?s=20

I mean surely there's something to be said for focusing your attention on the states that your party has a chance in hell at winning in the general. It's great that Joe is more popular in Alabama, but it's not going to matter when the entire state stays red and the rust belt votes for trump again. If the primary system were more attuned to who had the best electoral prospects, maybe you wouldn't be in this mess.

Maybe, but NO effort doesn't look good, either. Outreach still matters. A presence matters. It's probably too late to course correct entirely, as now it'll just look like 'oh oops you guys matter, sorry!' rather than a sincere attempt to engage, but that's the risk you take. But you can't ignore the most significant base the Democratic party has if you're going to run in their primary. EDIT: Look, I would vastly prefer Sanders to win, at this point, but lol ok nm.

Defenestrategy posted:What is the function that gives delegates to the states. Is it how many democrats are in office there or something? "The pledged delegate "base" allocation is determined by the jurisdiction's Presidential vote in 2008, 2012, and 2016; and the jurisdiction's electoral vote allocation based on 2010 census. Jurisdictions beginning their process later in the cycle and neighboring states that concurrently begin their process (aka "clustering") receive bonus delegates [Call to Convention I.]." is as much detail as can find, no actual formula anywhere. The party sets the rules for the next cycle at the nominating convention so at the root level, it's Calvinball.
