I genuinely don't understand why uncontested races would ever be so high - surely they can find paper candidates to just throw on the ballot?
Jonathan Berk@berkie1
All 160 seats in the Massachusetts House are on the ballot this year. ...92 of them, 58%, are unopposed.

@TheChaosWeeber Hard disagree for the the same reason why the Brits kept the Pound and avoided adopting the Euro: I'd like my country to fully control the monetary policy of its currency.
English
If the Canadian dollar wasn’t called a dollar, Canadians wouldn’t be so upset about its value relative to the USD
Should have kept the pound as our currency

Trump’s DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just announced that they are “drawing up plans” to block all international flights into blue cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

@johnwtomkinson @ikwilson @jkenney @MikeLakeMP You're using the old ridings from before the latest redistribution. Here's the latest from the last census:

In the Alberta Independence debate between @ikwilson and @jkenney, Jason gets it wrong again.
On the imbalance of representation in the HOC, Jason claims rural Albertans are over represented. I live in a riding where there are 209,431 constituents represented by @MikeLakeMP. There are other federal ridings out east with only 26,655 constituents! Thats nearly 10:1 voter representation depreciation.
Hard to defend federalism when your facts are wrong.
On October 19, vote for freedom.

My health insurance is exponentially worse than it was in 2009

@DarienOfMcLean Move Trump (assuming it's only #45) to decent
Move Nixon to bad
Move Clinton to decent
Move Reagan to good
And you have my list more or less
English
I'm too lazy to make my own one of these, but this is pretty close to my list. I'd just bump Reagan up to a new "great" tier and FDR up to decent (had some terrible domestic policies, but helping us win WW2 counts for something).

@alt_ccc 2000 McCain was the finest politician the American political system produced. It's a shame he didn't win the nom.

FDR is quite possibly the worst president in American history
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
FDR dangerously undermined the Constitution by deliberately weakening the Constitution’s twin structural protections: federalism and separation of powers Calling him the GOAT president is blasphemy
English
@JDHawg1776 @ChrisMartzWX Teddy is all over the map, but a progressive 100 years ago isn't the same as a progressive today.
You also have to remember that he was the most pro-masculinity President ever. He predicted the loss of the masculine man. He also gave a campaign speech after being shot.
English
@ChrisMartzWX Theodore Roosevelt was a progressive so a D at best. Reagan definitely an A.
English
This is the correct U.S. presidential tier ranking for those who know their history and aren’t pro-big government simps.
English
@ChrisMartzWX Mostly right. Nixon and Eisenhower are too high, Lincoln is too low.
English
@BasedMikeLee The fact that Lincoln or Washington isn't the GOAT means you can skip the rest of the list.
At least the author put Nixon in the right category.

📻 A British radio station accidentally declared King Charles III dead live on air
Radio Caroline suddenly announced that the king had died, played “God Save the King,” and then disappeared from the air for 15 minutes.
It later turned out that the station had accidentally triggered the protocol for announcing the death of the monarch.

@RealJohnRose So you're saying Australia isn't functional?

Now it's up to Premier Smith to schedule the referendum.
If she doesn't, she will share the fate of Jason Kenney.

@ClassicalSocdem @nikicaga Or they could have let him participate.in the final and could have easily won the contest.
English
@nikicaga In the end his disqualification, together with RAI leaking the semifinal televote data, contributed to a consolidation of the anti-Israel vote on Switzerland, preventing an Israeli victory
Saint Joost died for our sins and saved Europe

The bullshit suspension of a song about European unity while the contest was tearing itself apart over Israel was just incredible symbolism
