@grace_panetta No

This definitely isn’t the only explanation but….the sheer amount of texts, emails, calls, door knocks Democrats made to voters either had severely diminishing returns or backfired, right?

We found a transit/Trump voter in Richland-West End

Election Day By Walt Whitman If I should need to name, O Western World, your powerfulest scene and show, 'Twould not be you, Niagara—nor you, ye limitless prairies—nor your huge rifts of canyons, Colorado, Nor you, Yosemite—nor Yellowstone, with all its spasmic geyser-loops ascending to the skies, appearing and disappearing, Nor Oregon's white cones—nor Huron's belt of mighty lakes—nor Mississippi's stream: —This seething hemisphere's humanity, as now, I'd name—the still small voice vibrating—America's choosing day, (The heart of it not in the chosen—the act itself the main, the quadriennial choosing,) The stretch of North and South arous'd—sea-board and inland—Texas to Maine—the Prairie States—Vermont, Virginia, California, The final ballot-shower from East to West—the paradox and conflict, The countless snow-flakes falling—(a swordless conflict, Yet more than all Rome's wars of old, or modern Napoleon's:) the peaceful choice of all, Or good or ill humanity—welcoming the darker odds, the dross: —Foams and ferments the wine? it serves to purify—while the heart pants, life glows: These stormy gusts and winds waft precious ships, Swell'd Washington's, Jefferson's, Lincoln's sails. – hat tip @NicholsUprising, who adds: To the polls, Americans, to the polls!

If - IF -the Selzer poll is right this time, this is polling equivalent the Battlestar Galactica being the only ship in the fleet to not use the super new fancy technology (and that being exactly why it’s the only ship to survive the initial attack of the Cylons).

@DavidKButlerUoA Root with non-zero slope?

There ought to be a name for a place where a function properly crosses between being positive and negative. Not zero/root, that's just where its value is zero. Instead, a place where the value is positive on one side and negative on the other. A "transition point", maybe?

@SwannMarcus89 I listened to her interview on Pod Save last night. I really appreciated that she could speak skillfully about the interest of both camps. She came across as thoughtful, informed, and pragmatic.

In addition to becoming a vastly better politician as she ages, AOC just seems so much happier now that she's been forcibly separated from the DSA types and is slowly transforming into a normie libtard

@heyletsmakestuf Uggh so sorry

As of this quote, this tweet that knowingly or unknowingly confuses geography for voters has 92K likes. Unfortunately, such bafflingly brainless rhetoric is definitely "American AF."

@jazboon Offs

Harris’s tax plans will increase after-tax incomes by a whopping 13.6% for low-income Americans while making the richest 1% pay their fair share ­— Trump does the opposite. @Morning_Joe

@heyletsmakestuf God why are people on the internet so terrible.

@mathillustrated 🤯🤯🤯

Arguing against educational phantoms:

We're doomed. @nytimes can you please do a focus group with people who have not abandoned reality?

@heyletsmakestuf Can. Not. Wait.

Do ya'll know the phrase "food and flags"? I hear it used as a way of referring to the ways that teachers flatten/reduce students' home cultures to holiday/food traditions. Does anybody know where/if that phrase shows up in the literature?

All Donald Trump and JD Vance know about manufacturing is how to manufacture bullshit.
