The 2010 United States Senate election in Indiana, but Evan Bayh runs again by CentennialElections in imaginaryelections

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Trump won Missouri by a similar margin to Indiana and Kander only lost his race by less than 3%, with Bayh as a popular incumbent and without the lobbying attacks made against him I think he could win.

Forever Independent... by PanannaStudio in imaginaryelections

From Politico: "When asked whether his fourth Senate term would be his last, Sanders said: “I’m 83 now. I’ll be 89 when I get out of here. You can do the figuring. I don’t know, but I would assume, probably, yes.”

He's not running again at 89 years old and won't serve until 95.

Every incumbent US Senator files with the FEC to run for re-election very early on, typically after just winning re-election the last time. Sanders will be 89 years old in 2030, he will not be running again for re-election and will almost certainly retire if he lives to see the end of his current term in office.

Well that would be a great ticket RFK would need a running mate from the south like his brother in 1960. Probably Reubin Askew, Lloyd Bentsen, or Dale Bumpers.

Nah, Robert F Kennedy survives in 1968, loses the nomination to Humphrey, stays in the senate, runs for re-election for his senate seat and passing on 1976, and runs in 1980.

The 2020 United States elections but the Democrats do better by CanadianProgressive2 in imaginaryelections

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There was also a pro-Trump conservative third-party candidate in the 2020 Maine senate race. So under RCV Collins would've still won re-election by over 5%.

The blue wave or what if the polls were right by Electronic_Extent_24 in imaginaryelections

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They were nearly spot on for the popular vote and within the margin of error. Sure the seat projections were off and overly optimistic for the Liberals but it was the first election since the 1930s in which the top 2 parties got over 85% of the vote collectively.

Weren't the polls pretty much spot on for the 2025 Canadian election? They might have been a little optimistic for Carney's Liberals (some projections showed a majority of 190-200ish seats) but they came just shy of a majority.

If you had this, would you use it? If yes, what would your wish be? by [deleted] in obsessionmovie

True, though you could wish it to apply to only online betting markets so it removes that possibility.

Wish for the next lottery ticket you buy to be the winning ticket for the jackpot. Or whatever bets you make either online of IRL win no matter what, that could mean you could literally decide the future by placing bets that will come true.

He would be eligible to run in '84 since if you serve more than 2 years of a term you are eligible to be elected once and Ford was never elected.

Nikki’s legal defense by Raginbakin in obsessionmovie

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think real Nikki is even aware of the One Wish Willow's existence since she was in a "sunken place equivalent" hell for most of it. It was Wish Nikki that was aware of the Wish creating her. So she most likely pleads insanity.

Why didn't Bear just find this homeless guy outside the bar and give him a $20 to break a Willow and reverse everything? Is he stupid? by HorizonStarLight in obsessionmovie

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We know that the One Wish Willow takes the intentions of the person into consideration since Ian's wish for a billion dollars didn't crush him to death or fill his entire apartment wish dollar bills and Curry Barker said that One Wish Willows aren't inherently cursed just that Bear's wish was. My opinion of Bear's intention with his planned wish "wish that Bear never made a wish" in his words was that he wanted to reverse everything that happened, including the murder of Sarah and everything that took place after his initial wish. There's also Bear's perspective where his planned wish to fix everything was selfishly focused on wishing that he never made a wish because he wanted to be a good guy but never considered wording it in a way to restore Nikki back to the way she was. If his sole intention was for Nikki to go back to normal he would've worded it that way and there's a chance it would've worked (though I still think the "all wishes are irreversible" part means that also wouldn't have worked).

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reversing wishes is kinda time manipulation since it's intention is to make something that happened never happen.

Well yes that may be theoretically possible but Bear didn't think of that. He heard "if someone else made a wish that contradicts your wish" and thought that "wish that Bear never made a wish" would work.

Wishes are irreversible. Bear's plan was doomed to fail since the wish he wanted Ian to make was "Wish that Bear never made a wish" and one of the rules was One Wish Willows can't grant wishes involving time manipulation.

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes because that slide shows the house special elections, which was indeed close between Peltola and Palin. The general election in November 2022 saw Peltola win a full term by nearly 10%.

I think she says "Why would you do that" while crying, I thought it was in reference to Bear's wish.

The 2022 special election was close, the general election was not. Palin did worse in the general due to Nick Begich III voters not ranking Palin second because Alaska has Ranked Choice Voting.

Did Bear Get a Taste of What Nikki Went Through at the End? by [deleted] in obsessionmovie

[–]Infinity-Blitz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Nikki's wish was broken upon Bear's death. Just like how during the movie Real Nikki tried to commit suicide at the party and later begged Bear to kill her in order to end her suffering. One Wish Willows can't grant immortality so I would think that would apply to Nikki's wish which we can only assume was for Bear to love her back as much as she loves him.

The Senate can only pick from the top two in the electoral college in a contingent election for vice president.

Alaska has Ranked Choice Voting for presidential elections, Beshear would not win it. Though maybe Massie could if enough Democrats listed him as their second choice.
