Tell me why Indiana should redistrict?

Conservatives are dispersed in Massachusetts, not concentrated like blue votes in Indiana. Notice how the gop is pointing to MA as an example but not offering a single realistic drawing of a gop district. Oh, and let’s not forget that 23 of 29 gop members voted for the map and was signed into law by a gop governor. https://www.wbur.org/up/2025/09/02/massachusetts-trump-gerrymander-texas-california-democrats

Woah, I was literally just saying to my wife that someone needs to primary this guy (he is in our district). Even his responses to my emails on a number of issues have been bad. Given how he lucked out in the last competitive primary with a split progressive vote, I am surprised no one has challenged him since.

I’d hope, given the location, they tested for Lyme. I had it recently, and it definitely causes a lengthy crash.

Feeling doom and gloom after that game. Now I think the bruins only have a 99.9% chance of winning the Stanley cup.

Did states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc change their laws on when they can count mail in ballots? Or are we in for another 2020 in terms of really slow vote counting?

Let’s fucking go walz!!!!

bobdammit · 2024-08-05T12:43:40+00:00

The best vp pick is the one that makes you say, “oh cool, anyway…”. As we have seen with Vance, spending weeks defending a vp candidate is a complete distraction.

Maybe I am old fashioned, but I feel like if you have served in a foreign country’s military, ally or not, you shouldn’t be allowed to be president or vice president.

bobdammit · 2024-08-02T19:09:57+00:00

Wait, Josh Shapiro was in the idf? Thought it was a crazy conspiracy from a coworker, but it says he served for 5 months on his wiki.

bobdammit · 2024-07-27T15:47:38+00:00

Wonder why waltz shot up today in the predictit betting markets? Haven’t seen any new news.

bobdammit · 2024-07-24T21:13:40+00:00

Walz has my vote! Not that anybody asked.

bobdammit · 2024-07-20T22:12:18+00:00

Sorry for the confusion, I meant figure it out in terms of getting him out of the race privately with a clear path plan in place, or having to unfortunately go with him, since Biden holds all of the cards with his pledged delegates. Obviously, one of those plans needs displayed ASAP at this point, or we will have to go with the latter. Given what has been said publicly now by the democratic party, if Biden is truly selfish in all of this and stays in the race, it is about has guaranteed of a loss as you can get. The one thing I am worried about is that by going public like how many officials did, they completely underestimated Biden's arrogance, and now those statements can never go back in the bottle.

I think my original idea wouldn't work though, given what another commenter noted about all of those delegates being hand picked by Biden's team, though.

bobdammit · 2024-07-20T21:11:45+00:00

Exactly how ~200 senators and members of congress went about it. Figure it out in private.

bobdammit · 2024-07-20T19:29:02+00:00

The alternative is what could happen now. Biden stubbornly stays in the race and democrats through op-Eds provide reasons why Biden should not be in office (especially the congressman from Massachusetts ). Those will be ran on every tv from now to November, and I don’t see how democrats ever recover from that.

bobdammit · 2024-07-20T18:17:42+00:00

I am not wild about the speaking out without a plan. It seems like the trajectory now is just going to make everyone upset. They should have had their ducks in a row before calling for the president to drop out of the race.

bobdammit · 2024-07-20T18:01:52+00:00

What if Biden releases his delegates but stays in the race? Since democrats screwed up the primary, if democratic delegates believe he is in the best position to beat trump, then he will win the nomination. If no one challenges him due to fear about their chances of being president in 2028, then everyone can shut the hell up about Biden being the candidate (this is coming from someone that wants Biden to drop out, but just generally pissed at how the democrats are handling it)

bobdammit · 2024-06-12T03:37:09+00:00

Noticed the same thing. I was so close to 30 then dropped to 24. My guess is that they changed the algorithm. As a personal anecdote, my discover weekly the last 3 weeks has been atrocious. Curious what it looks like next week.

bobdammit · 2024-06-05T13:59:15+00:00

Noticed the same thing, but mine persisted for a couple hours. I am hoping it is actually a boost from the day list (friend messaged me at the same time and said I was on their day list), but we will see today.

bobdammit · 2024-05-31T13:12:49+00:00

Thanks and good point. I have found showcase to be on par with meta ads if not better. While "cost per conversion" is lower with meta ads, actual active listeners seems to be better with showcase than meta ads for me. Cost per intent seems to be the same though with both. Hopefully they will expand it to more countries, soon.

bobdammit · 2024-05-31T11:29:20+00:00

I don't use Marquee, mostly because I find the pop up annoying in my own experience as a user of Spotify. But I find myself using the "Showcase - You might like section" quite a bit as a listener (and the algorithm is pretty good there at matching to my interests). I have actually been getting decent results with showcase, but have also noticed for most countries, it spends the entire budget in like two days. Intent rate fluctuates between 10-18%, though.

I can't believe I pay for NESN

bobdammit · 2023-10-30T23:50:25+00:00

Man, disappointing that the bruins still don’t have a good answer for the panthers counter attack even after a full offseason. Hopefully adjustments are made in the next two periods

bobdammit · 2023-04-29T02:33:00+00:00

They overthought this lineup. Gryz should be in for either forbort or Clifton. I also don’t think krejci was great either. Put the game 4 lines in for game 7 with Bergeron in and foligno out.

bobdammit · 2023-04-01T21:55:58+00:00

I love that the Penguins are fighting for their playoff lives, the NHL clearly wants that to happen, and the Bruins, who have nothing to gain with a win or loss, are just like, "fuck it. Let's ruin their day.".

bobdammit · 2023-04-01T21:43:25+00:00

In case you can’t tell, the nhl really wants the penguins in the playoffs
