What is with that scale? It makes both columns look not that different, while having wildly different numbers.

idk but it's incredibly bad design e: from https://news.gallup.com/poll/401168/americans-back-ukrainian-goal-reclaiming-territory.aspx the responses to 'is the us doing too much, the right amount, or should be doing more' are even more lopsided in favor of doing more and has 56% of republicans saying either 'the right amount' or 'we should be doing more to help ukraine' Herstory Begins Now fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Oct 18, 2022 |

I'm hoping enough republicans self-selected an early exit via skipping a covid vax that we won't have to worry about them the next few elections. Hoping, not expecting.

You could use “to the last Tuvan” but they might have achieved that already

It looks like it might barely be enough to avoid a dominant flipping of both houses, and the absolute best case is basically the status-quo. If women don't turn out and vote blue to flip a couple of red states, it's not going to go well. And with inflation this bonkers...

It's very clear that the marching orders in the Democratic party are "don't do anything that will insult or upset The Almighty Number as we're teetering on the edge of a Big-D Depression and the moment everyone stops clapping for Tinkerbell the economy is going to implode." I don't see how it doesn't happen by 2024 ~just in time~ for THE PARTY OF BUSINESS to come along and bullshit everyone that FREE MARKET SOLUTIONS will fix everything!  Because last time we gave soshalizm a try and it worked...so this time it's fascism's turn! It worked for (a very specific subset of) the Germans!

Not sure why this is hard to follow since one of the major issues is how a party that represents an absolute minority of the population somehow is still viable.

Unfortunately this was most heavily concentrated in states where Republicans could afford to lose 10-15% of their voter base and still win in a landslide. Might make a difference in Georgia, PA, and Wisconsin though.

It's worse than that, a Republican house is already publicly announcing that they will force a default on US debts over the debt ceiling if the admin doesn't slash social security/medicare/etc, and I think they'll almost certainly follow through. There's no adults in the room left to dissuade them. The next two years are going to get wild, and it'll probably only accelerate from there.

It makes sense that there was a Ukrainian Burning Man, I just never thought about it before. Unfortunately, it was in Crimea. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2022/8/28/when-z-meant-joy-freedom-and-humour-to-russians-and-ukrainians

Christ the last time the Canadian coast guard went on strike most of them ended up working as usual because they were essential services. Or cover the ambulances in stickers. poo poo our cops were wearing camo cops for like two years as a protest against… gently caress if I know.

At the rate things are going, she'll probably resign by the end of the day today. Or by the end of the week, at the latest. So there will be another dumb popularity contest among the Tories to elect another incompetent moron. e: I think we're seeing why the framers of the US constitution weren't fans of the parliamentary system.
