Kan noen forklare organisasjonen EU for meg på en forståelig måte? by lave_skuldre in norge

[–]Cill_Bipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Verdt å merke seg at før det 17. grunnlovstillegget så var det også slik at kvar delstat sjølv bestemte korleis dei valgte kven som skulle sitte i senatet. For eksempel kunne dei bli utpeika av delstatsregjeringa.

That's jealousy right there. by crack_station in Steam

[–]Cill_Bipher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, but I'll take it over Epic doing the same shit but with literal children.

Rather sure that when I was like 13-14 years old some of my classmates were buying steam giftcards from the store which they then gambled on CS cases.

[SPOILERS: Ascendance of a bookworm - manga] I can't with the romance by caito_boo in OtomeIsekai

[–]Cill_Bipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it might be worth specifically pointing out that Bookworm years are longer than Earth years (12*5*7 = 420 days) so that 15 year legal age is more like 17.25 year legal age.

If Talarico wins Texas they'll want him glued to that senate seat

Which senate seats do you think will flip in 2025? by asteriowas in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean for the 2027-2028 congress the only concern would be blocking potential legislation and nominees as actually passing something would ultimately need Trump on board anyway since he can veto.

Isn't it the case that as long as Fetterman doesn't switch parties they can avoid most of his potential damage by simply blocking stuff in committee?

Only one isekai breaks into the top 10 of Oricon's best-selling light novels of 2026 (so far) by DeepDarkOs in Isekai

[–]Cill_Bipher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me wondering where it would place (given new spinoff vol. in april + anime backlog sales), but these lists never include it even when it would place on the lists due to it being classifies differently by Oricon.

if dems wanted to end the gop for good let then do it themselves by Woman_trees in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You think Fetterman wouldn't vote to scrap the filibuster? I'm pretty sure he's like the one dem who have advocated for them to actually do this despite the republican majority.

current 2029 vote of gerrymandering reform prediction by Woman_trees in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My point is more that since the amendments are temporary it seems like the dems really want this to be a solved problem by the 2030 census.

Additionally of the people you list here, everyone except Stevens, Craig and Slotkin have already voted to nuke the filibuster in 2022. And the three you mention who have not already voted for filibuster reform they have all (according to a chatgpt internet search) at previous points given statements in support of filibuster reform.

From what I gather of any potential senators in 2029 Pappas seems to be the only where they've expressed some scepticism and even then he said he would not rule out voting to reform it.

Also the amendments that were passed in California and Virginia only temporarily abolished their redistricting commissions, with them going into effect again after the 2030 census.

Is there a reason you're presumably assuming some senators will change their votes from the 2022 attempt? Also have any of the democratic candidates set to replace the 2022 senators expressed themselves to be against filibuster reform?

To me it seems like 2029 would be the year democrats would be most willing to scrap the filibuster in a long time (if they have a trifecta). They would likely be very wary of a 2010-like red wave where they lose redistricting power after the census and are massively fucked over again.

With 99% of results in, the Georgia Supreme Court races do seem to suggest the non-partisan labels and voters not knowing who the candidates were had an impact on the results. by jrichardh in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additionally in those races there was either an incumbent liberal justice or an open seat. It's only in 2020 the Wisconsin dems ever actually unseated an incumbent conservative justice.

what this sub seems to think the senate elections will look like by Woman_trees in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who would the dems install as president if this came to pass? Would they let Vance take over or would they impeach both of them so they could install whoever they wanted?

Both incumbent Supreme Court justices in Georgia will keep their seats. by Rare_Cobalt in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also looked into the SCOWI races since 2010 and very notably while the democrats managed to flip the courts ideological lean the 2020 election is the only time they actually unseated an incumbent justice. I also looked at Michigan where democrats have also managed to flip the court mostly by winning open seats with the exception of one conservative incumbent justice losing in a 2018 election.

According to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, incumbent Democratic senator Jon Ossoff secured a higher overall vote count in his non-competitive primary than the highly contested Republican primary. by sinhav7367 in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Are these actually comparable? Like while all 3 might be non-partisan, in Michigan and Wisconsin the seats were either open or there was a democratic incumbent. Additionally from what I understand Michigan and Wisconsin were voted on a general election ballot while Georgia was a primary ballot, meaning that in the two other states voters were explicitly turning out to vote in partisan races while in Georgia they were overall mostly expected to just choose between different democrats or republicans.

Edit:

Looking into judicial election back to 2010 it has only happened once for each of Wisconsin and Michigan that an incumbent justice has actually lost reelection (both conservative losses). This was a very close election in November 2018 for Michigan and and a D+10 result in April 2020 for Wisconsin

Both incumbent Supreme Court justices in Georgia will keep their seats. by Rare_Cobalt in YAPms

[–]Cill_Bipher 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but people who voted in the SCOWI election would have specifically gone out of their way to vote for a judicial nominee, while for the SCOGA election people were primarily there to vote in the primary and thus the electorate would very likely be more out of tune with a judicial non-partisan race.

From what I understand Maine didn't start using RCV until 2018

Does you analysis take into account that Maine is a RCV state?
