Also vaccine uptake is way down across the board. A third of the US got any kind of Covid booster ever and last I looked <5% had gotten the Omicron booster. No one cares about Covid anymore, but half the population now hate vaccines.

so wtf is the other 45% doing? i mean sure, it's not like flu shot rates were ever like 80% either (https://www.cdc.gov/flu/fluvaxview/coverage-1819estimates.htm) but they were around 50%, and the omicron booster came out at basically the same time as this year's. you'd think people would just get both

We are objectively treating COVID less seriously than the flu.

I know several people who were willing to get both a flu shot and a COVID shot, but only the flu shot was available at their doctor’s office or clinic. One of them got COVID one week later. She seems to have fully recovered, but it was a nasty illness and she had to work through half of it.

If COVID shots were offered in all the places flu shots were, it could have made the difference.

On top of that, messaging of “fully vaccinated” being two shots eighteen months ago persists. Boosters are presented as the gilding of the lily. It really needs to be more like flu, where no one expects last year’s flu shot to do anything this year, even if statistically there can be some observable effect.

Democrats especially are furiously contacting the people they know to get their ballots cured, as mail is heavily democratic and it's about to win NV-SEN. Not so sure about the other statewide offices, because they're down by more than CCM, but NV-SEN will probably be done tomorrow. Monday is the ballot cure deadline.

Ballot curing is basically why all of the MAIL BALLOTS ARE INSECURE AND HACKABLE AND CHEATABLE SCAMMING DEMOCRATS is bullshit nonsense because through some magic the signatures on the envelopes get compared to an original record, and flagged if they don't match.

On top of that, ballots that aren't signed or dated immediately get shoved aside as non-voted until cured. It's a big issue in Pennsylvania, as state law on curing basically delegates it to the localities. So the big cities contact the people that gently caress up, and the rurals don't bother, or Republican local politicians get PISSED that the localities actually give a gently caress about votes counting.

Yeah he apologized, less-than-expected Washoe batch and worse-than-expected for CCM. The Washoe batch cancelled the rural batch and it's back to Laxalt by 800.

https://twitter.com/DavidWright_7/status/1591273134069809152

Probably flips to CCM in tomorrow's Clark batch. All the remaining votes (55K) are mail ballots, so she's in the driver's seat. It's done when Clark drops their next batch (tomorrow?).

Also EVERY SINGLE election-denier Secretary of State lost in any semblance of a competitive race. Every single one. Republicans made a lot of jerking off motions at the "democracy is on the ballot" line, but voters sure believed it.

Good projection of outstanding NV-SEN vote, with Laxalt in the lead by 800:

https://twitter.com/RalstonReports/status/1591438332352831488?t=17bIqDwzrrgT2mFdT-uMnw&s=19

Projection is that Laxalt will probably pick up 1100, but CCM will pick up 2800, putting CCM in the lead by 900. Clark looming large! Also why the Culinary Union is going at full speed to contact their members with ballot curing requirements.

Probably fair, but Sinema is also a gently caress and with the House potentially being decided by maybe a vote or two, it's likely that Congress overall isn't getting much done that's heavily partisan. Things were hard enough with a five-vote Democratic House lead and the next one is unlikely to be that high for either party!

That was bizarre, especially in context, but honestly - dude spending a few minutes enjoying a neat gun without any egregious safety violations is nowhere near the worst thing I've seen a political campaign put out.

A problem is that I've seen a lot of solo-host gun things on YouTube, but I don't think I've seen many with negative charisma. Then on top of that, the implication is that "I am going to use this to kill you and your entire family, then I will haul your corpses into my crawlspace cloning lab, consume the half of you that doesn't take, then I shall be sustained until my reelection campaign in 2028. I will also gently caress the gun."
