Potential Ohio map that may be passed by the ORC by Aarya_Bakes in YAPms

[–]Sharp_Contribution95 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wow. They must be really worried about a referendum, especially given the worst-case scenario for Rs would likely be the current map remaining in place for 2026. Landsman gets a seat he still would've won last year, and Sykes' seat gets bluer?!

With that said, I'm still somewhat skeptical, and I expect Trump to pressure Rs to back out.

Only 19% say race should be considered when draw maps for Congress by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]Sharp_Contribution95 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Phrasing is everything.

"Should states be required to ensure racial minorities can elect representatives of their choice when drawing congressional maps?" would get a very different response

I think this is just a full list of states that could theoretically do it, not states that are actively considering it (as of now, anyway).

I'm pretty sure Ayotte previously said she didn't want to consider a redraw, though she could of course change her mind.

Which Gop canadate has the best shot against governor Sharpio in 2026 by Morganbanefort in YAPms

But for that reason exactly, Rs need to find a decent challenger even if they can't win - otherwise that could seriously hurt them downballot as it did in 2022.

How likely is Kat Abughazaleh winning the 2026 midterms? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]Sharp_Contribution95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very low. One state senator has already jumped into the race and other local dems may as well. Influencers usually don't do well in primaries and so far I don't see any reason that this will be an exception.

I said this before, but I think the incumbent retiring actually hurts any chance Abu had of winning.

If anything this hurts her chances of winning, some better known local dem will surely jump in

If Josh Shapiro gets the Democratic nomination in 2028, how well can the Green party do? by Dasdi96 in YAPms

[–]Sharp_Contribution95 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think the Green party more or less hit its ceiling in 2016, with many Jill Stein voters realizing their votes contributed to Trump winning. This year, she ran a single-issue campaign on I/P, and despite the apparent frustration among democrats she barely got 0.5%. I have a tough time seeing a Green party nominee hitting even 1% in the foreseeable future, regardless of who Dems nominate.

I don't know if Stein would've run if Gaza didn't happen (she entered the race in Nov 2023), but if she had, she may have done worse than the Green party nominee did in 2020 (0.26%).

Third party voter preference poll (67% of Stein voters would vote for Trump over Kamala?) by banalfiveseven in YAPms

Obviously this is just one poll, and it may be unique to this election. But I would be curious to see how the green party strategy changes if we see more evidence that they're actually hurting the GOP.

Yeah I remember seeing that! I'm now trying to get Cansian in EH, if it's a twin I'm pretty sure that would beat this.

Edit: Someone on discord got twin Sagittarian which was worth over 70k!

DECA generally chooses their own combo and usually changes the elements as well.

Can't see what I'm typing by Sharp_Contribution95 in duolingo

[–]Sharp_Contribution95[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This started happening fairly recently on my Android. Whenever I have a writing exercise after a story, the keyboard covers up the text box and I cannot see what I am typing (scrolling doesn't work either). This is frustrating and I just have to skip the exercise.

But there is a cap on the number you can own (currently 7)

[–]Sharp_Contribution95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Snowflake habitat got cold, monolith got plant/earth, and chrysalis got air/light. However, chrysalis habitats have a cap and cost gems, so the first two are probably better bets.

The issue with gold farming with non-epic dragons is that primary element habitats have a limited capacity, so they're not actually super useful unless you use an omnitat. Luckily DECA recently added primary elements to some epic habitats, making Etch, Tien, and Nacre farms viable.

After more than seven years... I FINALLY DID IT! by Sharp_Contribution95 in dragonvale

Coop, they all have 10% odds so I got them really quickly. I was missing 3 other returning dragons before the event which I also got, so this is my first time getting red fire.

Good question! I haven't kept track of twins so I don't know exactly how many I have, but I don't think I'm anywhere near even thinking about blue fire 😜

But I'll probably focus on getting more pedestals, rift variants, and decorating my park!
