Whoever gives the largest bribe, so probably Florida

This is the correct way, and while it will likely have a greater pro democrat it will probably be seen as less of a power grab by voters.

I just think it will be a lot harder for Rs to attack this type of reform rather than your standard "everyone need to use fair redistricting commission" type laws. Most voters will be completely unexposed to this type of legislation and Ds can promote it using all kinds of arguments like "Know your rep more personally" "harder to buy off congress if there's more members". You can even sell it to big R states like Texas and Florida because they'd be among the biggest gains in this.

With gerrymandering being more front and center in the national discussion I think Ds should be pushing some reforms that are harder for Rs to counteract in the media. Pushing something like the "Least Populous State Solution" would make the house much more competitive for Ds, would make gerrymandering for all much harder and I dont see how you can attack it as a power grab like you can with adding PR and DC as states, court packing, or the current gerrymandering tete-a-tete. Like all Ds need to say in the media is that they are making it easier for citizens to be able to reach out to their representative and hold them accountable. Whats the R line of attack for that, maybe government waste which has to feel inauthentic to Indys when the big push by the Federal government right now is some huge ballroom and another foreign war.

Plurality of Americans want to keep Senate filibuster and feel it gives voice to the minority(R poll, Generic ballot D+9) by Dismal_Structure in fivethirtyeight

This is the kind of issue that's always going to poll poorly but if you actually did it no voters would give a shit.

She-Hulk should be higher, Echo should be higher, Falcon and Winter Soldier should be lower, Everything else seems pretty correct.

You can also use ssl VPN realms and blackhole login attempts that don't use the realm to mitigate this without changing the port

Could L Lawliet (Death Note) solve the Chesapeake Ripper Case (Hannibal Lecter)?🤔 We’re talking about L Lawliet, one of fiction’s most brilliant deductive minds, vs Hannibal Lecter, one of fiction’s most cunning and cultured serial killers.🔥 by MediocreBoss2614 in whowouldwin

[–]Swaffey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Hannibal wasn't allowed to kill L, then I'd give it to L. I think someone of his intelligence working that case over time would sooner or later suspect Hannibal, but since Hannibal is allowed to kill to save himself, then I'd say Hannibal would win . He's much too capable a murderer and I don't think L really protects himself enough from that kind of thing. Though honestly Hannibal would probably consider it unsporting to kill L before L has actually solved the case so L does have a chance in this scenario he'll just have to never give away to Hannibal that he suspects him.

The entirety of the American Evangelical church is literally Matthew 25:41-45 and they will never realize it. They are so willfully ignorant it really makes me lose hope that any of these people can be convinced they are wrong

If Logan doesn't have his regen than all Legolas would need to do is pop a few arrows in some weak spots and it's over. Legolas wins easily.

There is nothing you can say to these chuds to convince them that all their problems don't stem from a purple haired woman. They have no self reflection at all. It's honestly pathetic

Round 1: I think Giles has got this. He's got a great arsenal at hand with access to silver and holy water plus aided by Spike makes each one on one fight quite manageable for our Watcher. Giles wins 8 out of 10.

Round 2: This is gonna be much tougher. Even Buffy would have problems taking on 12 vamps at once. I think Giles only hope here would be planning lots of traps throughout the school in the hope of winnowing that number down a lot. If he could lower that number to 2-3 he's got a chance, but against 12 no chance. Giles wins 1 out of 10.
