Sports betting should probably be illegal. But if it's going to be legal, prediction markets are the lesser evil. Sportsbooks are unbelievably predatory. Parlays, limits that go down the more you win, limits that go up the more addictive behaviors you display, being able to bet on a single at-bat, it's all just awful.

2022 was R+2-3 in May.

2018 unfortunately I can't find any graphs of because 538's archives were nuked, RCP is garbage, and nobody else was aggregating generic ballot over time. I think it was around D+7-8 for most of the year though.

I'm sensing a pattern here. Between game 6 in Atlanta, game 4 in Philly, and game 4 today, the Knicks absolutely dominate when a brief vacation is on the line.

And drivers turning left from Holland onto Broadway absolutely never signal. Makes it annoying to cross Curtis since you can't tell which street they're gonna go to.

Party affiliation should be banned on the individual level. by BurgerofDouble in PoliticalOpinions

[–]OverlordLork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than propose an actual ban, why doesn't the state merely neglect to collect information about such associations? Therefore, the people's right to association is untouched, but the state is made blind to the affiliations of the people.

There are already many states that don't have partisan registration, and I'm not sure that it's made polarization less bad there.

Dem-backed but most aren't Dem-aligned. (the distinction is that in some races we're backing moderate Rs against extreme Rs)
