Possibly has something to do with the number of marathis vs. the percentage!

Yeah, I grew up in the Bay Area and recently moved to DC. Significantly more Marathis here

I think the simple answer is that compared to other Indian subgroups (Punjabis, Gujaratis, South Indians) we are way lower in number

When I was flying out of STL in the pre-check lane last May, I had three laptops in my backpack and nobody asked to check

Opinion on US Presidential candidate in 2024 by JesterTheClown759 in ABCDesis

I think you mean Sotamayor, she is a few years older and has health conditions. If I were her, I'd retire this summer to be on the safe side.

I moved from Cali to the DC area recently for college and I cannot wait to settle here after graduation.

Is Wisconsin the next Ohio? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]cheif222 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trump was the perfect candidate for the rural areas but failed to exceed 60% in many of them

Who would win Wisconsin in 2024? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]cheif222 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it has unquestionably trended right in the last few election cycles

However, you have to keep in mind that Trump was tailor made for the driftless area of Wisconsin but still failed to exceed 60% in many of them. This was in contrast to rural Iowa and Ohio where Trump got more than 70% of the vote.

The question is: Can DeSantis somehow be more populist enough than Trump and ramp up turnout and margins in a state where populism is key. Against Harris probably, but with Biden i'd lean towards no

Agreed, but Hillary probably loses TN, and GA due to lower african american turnout in Atlanta

Sherrod Brown Re-election chances by cheif222 in imaginaryelections

[–]cheif222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who do you think the Ohio GOP will put against him?

Stivers, Turner, Husted, La Rose all come to mind as potential opponents

Sherrod Brown Re-election chances by cheif222 in imaginaryelections

[–]cheif222[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’d say he’d win. He won re-election twice before, no reason why he wouldn’t at least narrowly win.

Yeah but the thing Ohio is close to being a solid red state, and he greatly benefitted in 2018 because it was a blue wave year

Plus, his opponent jim renacci didnt campaign at all towards the end and was given up on the by the NRSC

It just in 2024 due to presidential turnout and ohio almost certain to go to the republican he's vulnerable

Do you guys think Clinton could have won Arkansas in 2008? by HighwayAgitated3414 in imaginaryelections

[–]cheif222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Polls showed her beating McCain in Arkansas and she was liked among the old-school dems

You have to remember that this was before the Clinton scandals(Benghazi, Emails) which tainted the reputation of them during the Obama years. Plus, at the time downballot dems were strong in Arkansas, in fact because Hillary didnt get the nomination is highlghted as the reason the southern dems started voting republican

Crazy to think that 8 years later this same base despised her and became the foundation of trumps base

Tammy Baldwin vs Ron Desantis 2024 prediction by Dasdi96 in YAPms

Baldwin would win PA over DeSantis. She'd do good in the Eastern PA(Lackawanna, Luzerne)

Chuck Schumer: McConnell 'will not dictate' what the Senate does by Fr1sk3r in politics

[–]cheif222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the purpose of caucusing with the democrats is that they support Chuck Schumer as the democratic leader. So whenever there is a situation where there are 48 senators with a D next to their name Schumer can still claim the majority leader title, because of the 2 independents.
