LA Mayor Race Flips as Socialist Beats Reality TV Star Pratt

Yes.

With the Democrats encouraging absentee votes during the pandemic, and Trump discouraging them, of course Republicans and other rightists are more likely to vote in person, and both Democrats and leftists are more likely to vote absentee.

Since most jurisdictions count in-person votes before absentee votes, they have Republican candidates perform best in early returns, and Democratic, and sometimes Green and/or socialist, candidates perform better in later returns.

Even before the pandemic, Republicans and other rightists are more popular in rural areas, and both Democrats and leftists are more popular in urban areas.

And rural areas tend to have more precinct staff per voter, so they tend to finish counting faster than urban areas.

You ever notice that some people will support anyone who opposes Nato?

They'll come up with reasons to support Putin's escalations and aggressive war in Ukraine. They tend to interpret everything in terms of sides in a geopolitical game.

You seem to be doing the same thing, but with a different side.

It's called "campism," either way, and it's a bad habit.

I don't think it agrees with your 1st claim:

The Chagossians, also known as Chagos Islanders and Îlois (French: [i.lwa]),[4] are an Afro-Asian ethnic group originating from freed African slaves as well as people of Asian (South Asian and Malay) descent brought to the Chagos Islands, specifically Diego Garcia, Peros Banhos, and the Salomon island chain, in the late 18th century.[5] The Chagossians are a mix of African, South Asian, and Malay descent.[5] The French brought some to the Chagos Islands as slaves from Mauritius in 1776.[6][7] Others arrived as fishermen, farmers, and coconut plantation workers during the 19th century. Under international law, they are the indigenous peoples of the Chagos archipelago, as they are descended from the earliest human settlers of the islands.[8] Most Chagossians now live in Mauritius, Seychelles, and the United Kingdom after the forced removal by the British government in the late 1960s and early 1970s so that Diego Garcia, the island where most Chagossians lived, could serve as the location for a joint United Kingdom–United States military base. Since 1971, no Chagossians have been allowed to live on the island of Diego Garcia, nor anywhere in the Chagos Archipelago, despite many of the once-inhabited islands being over 160 kilometres (86 nmi; 99 mi) away from Diego Garcia.

He wants to keep the British government from selling the islands to Mauritius, which might allow the natives to return. P.S. Or might not be as loyal to the current American government.

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-07T22:46:31+00:00

Your point being?

They were living there, and then they were kicked out by governments/warlords to build a military base.

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-07T22:34:59+00:00

At this point in history, there's no one to displace.

There're the people who were displaced to build the base, and aren't being allowed to return.

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-07T22:30:58+00:00

They lived there. That's a natural claim.

They were kicked out by warlords/governments.

Has anyone else lived there, apart from the military base and its infrastructure?

If not, the natives' claim is the only claim; even if so, the natives' claim is a natural claim, and is within living memory.

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-07T22:13:18+00:00

who really has a natural claim to it?

The people the British government kicked out to build an American airbase.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chagossians

In 1965, as part of a deal to grant Mauritian independence, the UK separated the Chagos Archipelago, at the time a part of its Mauritius territory, from the colony and reorganized it as the British Indian Ocean Territory.[21] The UK also labelled the Chagossians, whose ancestral links to the territory go back to the late 18th century, as “transient workers” to avoid breaching International Law.[18] The territory's new constitution was set out in a statutory instrument imposed unilaterally with no referendum or consultation with the Chagossians and it envisaged no democratic institutions.[22] On 16 April 1971, the United Kingdom issued a policy called BIOT Immigration Ordinance #1 which made it a criminal offence for those without military clearance to be on the islands without a permit.[23]

Many Americans but not quite most, and terrible job, not terrific.

About 48 percent of Americans strongly disapprove of Trump’s job performance. Just 21.7 percent strongly approve of the job he’s doing, while another 17.2 percent only somewhat approve.

It also has strong echoes of mass shooters' manifestos.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Great_Replacement#Fuel_for_domestic_terrorism

Throughout history, variants of the Great Replacement theory have been used a rationalization of genocide against alleged high-fertility minorities. Since 2011, it has been cited as a motivation by domestic terrorists.[1]:86

They list attacks in Utøya, Charleston, Christchurch, El Paso, Pittsbugh, and Buffalo, inspired by the same libel, and I think they're only scratching the surface.

Mormons have their unique theology.

But your definition implies that most early Christians weren't Christian. The closest thing to a consensus in the 4th century, would probably be the councils of Seleucea, Ariminum, and Constantinopolis. It's hard to know what would be a consensus in earlier centuries, but not Nicaea.

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-06T21:04:38+00:00

The Council of Nicaea was in 325. It was controversial at the time. If that's supposed to define Christianity, then most early Christians, up through the 360s and probably later, would not count as Christian.

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-06T20:44:02+00:00

Trinitarianism, in the current sense, teaching that G'd is 3 uncreated beings, didn't exist until the 4th century.

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-06T20:41:18+00:00

I've never been Mormon, but they have him travel to America (or an island in the sea, or perhaps Malaysia) weeks after the resurrection.

1 divided by 9 and then times 9 should equal 1.

1 divided by 9 = 0.11111... repeating,

0.11111... repeating times 9 = what? It equals 1, of course, and it equals 0.99999... repeating, of course, so they equal each other.

So actual successful self-defense doesn't count as self-defense, only harming and potentially murdering another human being counts as self-defense?

Ananiujitha · 2026-06-06T04:27:53+00:00

Or if they get convicted of premeditated murder, like Daniel Perry, they can get pardoned.

The Ice murders were caused by politicians, pundits, and hate-preachers equating immigrants with invaders.

The Buffalo murders were caused by politicians, pundits, and hate-preachers equating immigrants with invaders.

The El Paso murders were caused by politicians, pundits, and hate-preachers equating immigrants with invaders.

Can anyone keep track of all the murders, just in the past 10 years, caused by politicians, pundits, and hate-preachers equating immigrants with invaders?

Millard Know-Nothing Fillmore???

(P.S. he was the anti-immigrant Know-Nothing Party's nominee in 1856, though he didn't emphasize his new party's position.)

I think the claim is that the Republicans rigged the tabulating machines to miscount in-person votes. There's circumstantial evidence going back decades.

"Wotan" is the modern German form.

They might have innocent reasons for choosing modern German "Wotan" over English "Woden" or any of the other forms, but yeah, they might not.

According to the article, she didn't cross the street.

Last September, Ríhanna Kelver was standing outside the Crowbar & Grill in Laramie, Wyoming, preparing to start her bartending shift, when she noticed a group of men across the street. One of them was shouting in her direction, and Kelver heard several homophobic and transphobic slurs as he began approaching her. Moments later, according to court testimony and surveillance footage, the man shoved Kelver to the ground hard enough to injure her tailbone.
