General Politics Discussion VIII [ARCHIVED] • Page 1080

He's not even accurate about the uniqueness of his loss though, considering Nixon won both (and somehow even California) and still managed to lose in 1960

 

Had no idea, thanks for the new information.

 

That map really shows how much populations have shifted

NY had 45 votes. PA had 32 votes, tied with CA. FL had only 10 votes

if you rerun the same election today, looks like JFK still wins but by much smaller margins

 

Almost like Twitter isn't real life. Then again, I wouldn't expect a super-progressive argument to sway an undecided voter. Probably better for base turnout, fundraising, and "enthusiasm". Might help drive the news cycle too.

 

The Lincoln Project was making super-progressive arguments?

 

Bookies call elections

 

to be fair at 10:00 P.M. on Election Evening I also had to close the General Politics Discussion thread because I felt like I was going to have a panic attack.

 

Not materially, but they were making an argument designed to activate hyper-partisan sentiments. You're right in noting that doesn't align with actual progressive policy that will help people.

 

I have no idea where I fall in the vaccine line. I work for a cardiology office that's outpatient, doing IT. Have they ever clarified if healthcare workers means strictly those working in Covid units in the hospital? I know I'm not technically a healthcare worker but the physicians I work for also do inpatient work in the hospitals. I'm fine with wherever I am in line lol I'm just really confused as to where I'm placed. Same with others in my office, we have people that just do scheduling/billing, what classification do they get? Is it just all-encompassing based on the company you work for?

 

Does he think all bookies are like De Niro in Casino or something?

 

Does testing positive move me further ahead in line for the vaccine or am i in the back of the line assuming i don't die?

 

I just want to go on record that I fucking hate Louis DeJoy and I hope he and his whole family [redacted]

 

lol is this even true? like, there was certainly a point where it looked like Trump had a real shot at winning. But even at the worst point election night... PA and MI were both squarely in the "way too much vote out there left to say anything" column. WI was "Trump might hold on but its gonna be tight", AZ looked good for Biden election night. Any bookie giving Biden 3% odds of winning at any point election night was throwing money away.

 

I don't think that will matter. There are reports of people getting it twice so they shouldn't push you back just because of a positive test

 

I got good odds betting on Biden but it certainly wasn't reflective of a 97% chance. My guess is one random insignificant website gave him those odds and he's running with it or he's just making it all up because he's a sociopath.

 

Do we have reason to hate his family? Seems extreme

 

Idk about 97% but I know you could get Biden at like +500 at one point, and I regret not doing it every day lol

 

How often are the Giants playing the Steelers lol

 

so relatable like when my parents worked for different branches at FedEx.

 

It would make sense if they pushed you back if you had it because it seems people do gain somewhat of an immunity afterward. But I haven't seen anything about them doing it and I read they still recommend getting vaccinated either way. So I'd guess it doesn't change your spot.

 

oh man, poor kate.

 

Yup, I got Biden at like +450 or something like that, put $500 on it.

 

Yeah they're from here and his wife's tenure as our states DHHS was awful. Some stuff about it here Aldona Wos’ disastrous tenure as DHHS secretary is finally over. This is just the tip of the iceberg

I've heard some stuff about their son that I won't repeat as I can't verify it first-hand

 

Oof yeah fair enough. Just thinking of how easy it is to hate Kellyanne Conway but her daughter def seems like the polar opposite heh
