So New York kind of has something like this. They can run candidates under multiple parties. For example, they run the DNC candidates under the Democrats, but also under the Working Families Party, and both will count as a vote for them. My family members in New York always vote for the Dem candidate under the WFP because it helps them make quorum and also signals that they prefer the WFP endorsement over the DNC.
Here's an article with a sample ballot from a district of NY. You can see Kamala and Trump under Dem/Repub, but also under WFP/Cons as candidates. Same with the senate.
The national numbers never show the breakdowns of which bubbles were actually filled in, just the totals. But I'm always curious as to what the ballot breakdown actually is.
The consensus seems to be that people that voted democrat in 2020 voted republican this time because they experienced inflation under Biden that think it was his fault.
What consensus is saying this? Outside of Latino men and first time voters shifting to Trump, most analysis (so far) is that the Democrats lost around 10-15 million votes from 2020, compared to Trump losing only 2 million. If all the Dems/Undecideds moved to Trump, he would have not lost voters.
What was the Red vs Blue turnout in Nebraska in 2020 vs 2024, I bet that would go a long way to explain why the union leader lost.
I'm really not trying to be conspiracy brained, seriously, but won't the DNC also be making money from a Trump presidency? Stocks/private contracts of the DNC executives aside, don't they also get huge amounts of donations when they're the "opposition"?
I'm not saying they purposely ran a shitty campaign, but they clearly have a "silver lining" for if Trump won compared to us normies. Man, it's so fucked, please someone give me evidence to the contrary, I beg.
I don't really use peertube, but if it has livestreams I'll check it out, thanks!
I can't load the article on Voyager for some reason, and I've never even heard of this, but the clown turning into a cloud goes hard. For that alone I am interested.
Thank you!
Is there a Fediverse option for livestreams?
This is also assuming that the 300+ million Americans have the same size carbon footprint, which is probably not true if you think about it for more than a second. I doubt the bottom 60% of earners in the country have the purchasing power to create that much waste through excess consumerism at this point.
Most of those "Shein/Temu/Aliexpress" hauls or 10x vacations across the world in a year you see on social media are not done by middle or lower income people/families.
This is very much a top heavy issue.
You get it. I agree with all of your complaints (but another unpopular opinion, I didn't mind Sera we got lol)
Inquisition is actually my least favourite in the series, and I hate the pivot to hyperfocus on the "super special elves" and getting the most out of the story ONLY if you play a specific type of elf. I'm also not absolutely gaga for Varric (I like him, I just don't think he should be everywhere). I felt really fatigued by the end of the game tbh.
