I'm pretty shocked that you're getting downvoted for saying that a murder might not be the way to invoke change.

That's pretty nuts to me. Everyone seems like they are trying to justify this... Why are we justifying murder? People can be pretty devoid of empathy. I understand that people want change, and that we need it. I worked in health insurance and know how wasteful it is and how much pain it causes.

Pseudo-celebrating a murder and trying to back-justify it is about the same as actively hoping/campaigning that it happens. It honestly seems like some people are on here with the mentality that any CEO should be moderately expecting to be murdered, and that it is acceptable to live in a world that operates that way.

Could it be device compatibility? Apps can set certain parameters I believe. Maybe your device doesn't fit?

I mean the polls for Biden were bad and getting worse. Harris was only down a couple points... Biden was down double digits. I hate to say it, but with the 2 point polling error, Biden had 0 path to make it. I don't know a single state that he would have taken off of Trump.

Ah yes. Great. We're the election conspiracy theorists now. It's apparently democrats turn to make completely baseless accusations.

This stuff is exhausting. We want to look for every reason except for the one that matters: Democrats lost America. We need to break the party apart and start over.

Every other excuse just delays and distracts. Democrats fucked it. We can be all high and righteous as we want, but we lost 2 of 3 to Donald Trump.

Face the reality. Democrats need to reinvent themselves or they will lose to shit candidates like Trump.

.... So living further away from the equator is detrimental to your health? I haven't heard of this phenomenon.

Iowa itself is a lost cause. It's 75% Republican here. We're gerrymandered to high hell, so even if Baccam squeaks through, Iowa state legislature won't look very blue. If it's 60/40 Republican I'd be absolutely shocked.

But contributing one Senator nationally would be pretty neat.

If Harris gets Iowa the race is over. These races are not truly independent - they are correlated. If Harris picks up Iowa, there's a very good chance that means she's swept every swing state.

Right - I just mean literally any attempt to try and cater to a specific group is gonna be like this.

Both campaigns go after different groups. I just think literally anything that is contained in these are going to sound racist.

In a less charged example, both candidates try and appeal to women. Those could be viewed as sexist.

To be fair... When the article's opening line is "In outreach to Black Men", it doesn't really matter what you put after. It's going to sound bad.

It can be both things.

There are no definitive data points that should lead anyone to believe that either candidate has a significant advantage.

I'm not sure anyone who is well versed in election projections or polling would say anything other than it's a toss up. As a heavy consumer of said data and reporting, I haven't seen anything to the contrary.

You're not wrong about media incentives, but they're also not wrong that this is a very close race.

... I mean I think he's aware of how it works. Weird Al, given his track record with respecting other people's work even above what he is required to do, doesn't seem like the type to ask to be a part of it and then demand it to be done his way.

I think they could make something work. SNL has its own style, but they tend to adore when they have comedic hosts who will play the goofy roles. Weird Al seems like a great fit... Musical numbers, collaborations with Please Don't Destroy... I think it has big potential.
