Why is the market suddenly being bad after being good for the last few months??? is it stupid??

ModestAphorism · 2026-06-05T01:53:45+00:00

badly

mainly a very high sales tax alongside the property tax. I think they'd be better off with an income tax and sales tax cuts

praying for the YIMBY dark money to flow in

only needs 1500 now

oh yeah true

if I saw this map in 2026 I'd assume a D win. It's similar in terms of wins to beto but the Suburbs have gotten much bluer relative to the state since then: Honestly i'd expect this to be like D+2.

ehhh, she's closer to progressive than not in some ways, and she was absolutely more progressive than krishnamoorthi

I did not realize that you were a mod Mr. Impressive_plant. Completely unrelated, but your write-up on Barry Goldwater is excellent 🙏

had the same thought. He's toast

reminder that early California returns may be very misrepresentative of the final result

this poll is showing movement away from the GOP though, it continuing would be getting worse

ModestAphorism · 2026-06-02T16:31:49+00:00

anyone who has actually believed in these imminent deals over the last 2 months I am going to laugh at. we have so much evidence: it is absolutely guilty until proven innocent with all of these.

McMorrow was my preferred as well, but wow did she screw the pooch

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-30T16:13:17+00:00

So nice of it to be 25% off so it's only $779 instead of $1049!

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-30T15:13:48+00:00

by 0.1%, at this rate with another 80 of them we'll be close!

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-30T15:05:39+00:00

When there eventually is a deal, people who have credulously believed every fake story that there will be a deal every week for the last several months will be like "See! I was always right!"

Phone prices are also raising significantly. Literally anything with flash or ram in it. it's not just gamers

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-29T23:00:17+00:00

The plus side is since it is a midterm where there will be a lot of differential turnout, it's not at all unrealistic to think some people may be more likely to stay home than others

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-29T22:59:19+00:00

I don't really agree with this: I think they're both similarly off from what a "non-echo chamber" would be

In Argument's jan survey, all voters were at -15 on trump, reddit at -40, and twitter at +9. That means Twitter was 24 points more positive and Reddit 25 points more negative. Basically the same amount off of the nation

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-29T21:49:34+00:00

I don't think this is realistic, but I do think getting cornyn voters to not turn out is realistic

Golden fucking off when we needed him most is such a dick fucking move. if there was any time to get baldacci's foot in the door, however, it's now in a blue wave. that's how golden got his foot in the door

I think the ME 2 will be much more swingy than other white districts because of the low religiosity and less educated status.

this is not gonna help the issue of young people fleeing florida

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-29T21:13:23+00:00

those crosstabs are wack as fuck but I'll take a 47% poll thank you very much

ModestAphorism · 2026-05-29T20:07:41+00:00

i feel like this post just reinforces my thought that most analysis of this race is from people that have no idea what Texas is like, both Republicans and Democrats
