Text polling, with a simple one-option-or-the-other answer, would actually be a lot more accurate than the way they do the polls in reality, I think.
I'm not saying that the polls are necessarily biased either for or against Biden, just that the methodology is so laughably poor that the polls don't particularly mean anything. I dug into this at some length a few days ago and found that for a handful of recent randomly selected elections, the polls were off by an average of 16 percentage points.
It's not just Rust users
Yeah. This year is go time. It's like the Fifth Element; it'll either take over, or else get sent away until the next thousand years, when it returns.
"Critiques"
Interesting
So other than responding disagreeably to a critique, what other features? Or just that?
I ask because this type of Hillary Clinton DNC-consultant crap you're screenshotting in this text message has been following Democrats around for quite a while now, consuming their money and providing only failure in return, but MAGA is kind of an incongruous term to use to describe it. Like when I think of MAGA I don't normally think of things like this; right?
You're overthinking it
Pass a law in a few places that the state legislature can overrule the state results for president
Those states are enough to pick the president we want
President then fires all federal law enforcement or administrative official who's not loyal to him, replaces them from the Project 2025 binders, and just announces deployment of the military in the US and that anyone who's against him is illegal and goes to prison or shot
Bingo bango. More direct, less complicated, more permanent, nationwide results. Your thinking was along the right lines but too rules-based. Takes too long. Not enough innovative enough within the current system.
@return2ozma@lemmy.world Question for you
What do you mean by "blue MAGA"? I mean I know it's the Democrats, but why that term specifically?
Why does the detector in the double slit experiment not cause an interference pattern if its state depends on which slit the particle went through, but then it resets its internal state after, without transmitting the result?
So after your first sentence, I was all ready to dig back through my comments to try to find it. It was absolutely baffling.
(Probably it would be sour grapes for me to dig up some old argument with somebody just so I can break it back out here, and say "THE MAN WAS WRONG, I TELL YOU, HE WAS WRONG, LOOK AT HIM AND HIS WRONG PLEASE EVERYBODY AGREE ABOUT IT")
Dude I've had people on Lemmy tell me that I am wrong about the contents of my own mind.
I tell them, this is what I believe and why (and my arguments citations whatever)
And they say, no, obviously you're lying and you believe this other thing instead. And then they start digging through my history and constructing arguments and debating me on it.
Some instances I don't go on that much anymore
I came here to say this.
Modern physics already gives special status to observer objects and properties that “non-observer” objects don’t have, and every universe needs to be defined from some particular point of view instead of “objectively” from outside. There are a couple other weird things but those are two big ones to me.
And so a physicist from the 2100s where physics is defined in relation to consciousness asks a modern physicist, so why did you think it was all just atoms and numbers in an “objective” universe?
And the modern physicist says what the fuck are you talking about don’t get all weird and religious on me
And the future physicist says okay dude good luck then
There is a little mini insurrection in the GOP primary (like 30% not voting for Trump even though he's clearly the nominee, or people saying they may not vote for Trump in the general election in a way that's pretty unusual).
That's not to say "oh let's relax, Trump definitely won't win." But people even on the right are figuring out he's a dangerous POS. The news likes to report the other kind of election coverage a lot more than this kind, so it's not real common to see stories about it, but it's happening in a real unusual way so far.
And the name is specifically designed to resonate in a particular way with the lizard-brain in a way that paints the message "These are the BAD group of people, everyone doesn't like them and shits on them with little nicknames, don't you want to be like everyone, and join us in hating on them too." It's inventive and creative (I mean, sort of) in a memorable way, and carelessly insulting, even though when you look at it, it doesn't make any fucking sense.
It just kinda stuck out to me. Like the post title wasn't "DNC is getting weird again" or "Oh God we're screwed in the fall aren't we" or "Didn't I just GIVE you some money" or anything like that, it was specifically inventing a new little mini-slur to pass around and for everyone to use, free of charge.
Like I say, it just kind of stuck out to me a little.
