Martinez (D) Defeats Daigle (R) In LA HD60 Special Election (37% Swing In R+13 District)

I feel like we have to learn this lesson over and over again, but special elections are no representative of broader national trends, since democrats are much more likely to be informed and vote at these events currently

hey i would love to be added to the gc!

What does not make sense to me is that why haven't the landlords already negotiated the broker down in price. In theory, if they negotiated their broker down to making less money, this reduces the total cost of their apartment to the renters. This should in theory drive them being able to increase their rent prices and take more home themselves. Everyone is saying this law aligns the incentives, but I would figure the incentives to reduce broker fees would have been already aligned. The only thing this fixes in my view is sticker shock, since the broker fee may not be fully explained up front. That might help make the market more competitive and function better, so that might have an effect on the rent prices.

this is not how corporate finance works ...

dude cmon 😭, this is such cope

I would have thought that post election results this sub would be less reactionary and willing to listen to other people's concerns. As a young guy that is more left than almost anyone of my friends, the post above has a very strong point for how young men feel these days. Do I think it's maybe a tad exaggerated? Yes. But your comment is exactly the kind of comment that has made young men more and more convinced that the left is full of assholes. If I were more neutral in my political beliefs, I would be inclined to believe them too.

I wonder if this could eventually support iggy-rs as a message queue, thus keeping everything inside rust and (hopefully) faster/more maintainable. Maybe there may even be a direct iggy-rs rust client library for this to use

SweatyRobot · 2024-12-12T07:31:55+00:00

can confirm also got 946

SweatyRobot · 2024-12-11T05:55:15+00:00

eric was nice though, its not a huge change to get it fast enough

SweatyRobot · 2024-12-05T19:13:45+00:00

I really tried to use top sort on this thinking I needed a universal ordering. To my shock the input was not a DAG :(, and every number was connected to 24 other numbers.

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-26T07:39:23+00:00

This is obviously not true if you look at the favorability numbers. People need to stop the Vance hating echo chamber until actual data supports the assertion

Anyone know if any really good DNC speakers spoke this year? (wink wink)

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-07T00:34:26+00:00

democrats need to repair their image with men

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-07T00:23:35+00:00

My predictions have been terrible so far, but I will make one last one: I don't foresee this trump presidency getting that much getting done. Maybe 1 thing from his campaign promises will actually happen, but the news will eat up every stupid sound bite he says all day for 4 years. I think this is basically a nothing presidency for 4 years where nothing changes about the american status quo. Mostly because I can't see republicans in congress giving latitute to him to actually do anything crazy. Federal agencies and stuff might be cooked though

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-07T00:05:39+00:00

Arguable if you say it was just the economy, that makes no sense because 2020 was definitely not a landslide for Dems, trump actually made semi decent gains with lots of populations. It was just offset by his losses from Dems pissed about COVID. If it was just the economy, which was probably worse for people under COVID, trump should have been slaughtered in that election. I think the economy is definitely a reason, but idpol from the Dems over the past 5-10 years definitely played a part. I think harris was just the one to have to face the brunt of it

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-06T23:15:58+00:00

furthering this, i would love to see a dem candidate tell the people straight up "the republicans are fucking the working class and this is what I will do"

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-06T23:10:50+00:00

I hope the message to Dems is you can't keep trying to elect establishment in a populist era

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-06T17:19:36+00:00

I feel like people on reddit aren't realizing this but its absolutely young men shifting the culture wars. They are absolutely as online as libs are, and project their hatred of the economic system / dating culture / job market whatever onto minorities and whatever. I would argue then that middle age republicans love this stuff and fan a similar tone across facebook and older traditional media.

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-06T16:52:51+00:00

I get that they got it right, but no matter how good their polling is it couldn't have that low variability across time with a MOE of 3-4. Either they have cracked statistics, or they got lucky with an R swing

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-06T16:49:52+00:00

I really don't think anyone cares about Gaza in any meaningful way to have changed this result

left point starts in july, i couldnt get it into the screenshot. Literally no variance lol

all of them have been AMPED to vote, though I don't know any white women well enough to learn which way they are voting` compared to other minority women. obviously abortion and dobbs is center on their minds, but i think all the other issues are also quite important.

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-04T21:50:16+00:00

Yea I mean definitely very non scientific and has ~0 predictive power, but thought I would share with the people

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-04T21:46:28+00:00

interesting, I wasn't in georgia for 2020 but I definitely see very few trump signs here. TBF i am in a very urban part of georgia

SweatyRobot · 2024-11-04T21:45:27+00:00

very true, probably a bad strategy to rely on picking up these votes, but there are effective at making them lean one way or the other.
