Well then stop looking at your phone at intersections and not noticing the light change for 5 seconds.

I dunno. NY was a swing state for the first 200 years of the USA's existence.

Yeah, these polls are showing a partisan lean of like zero to D+5 when 2024 was D+17.

LaLota's campaign should mail these photos to everyone in Suffolk County so they know exactly what kind of guy their opponent is.

Even in 2026, I expect severing a parent-child relationship is much more likely to be the result of Dad kicking his son out of the house at 16 for being gay rather than adults disagreeing on politics.

There is no state in the world now where Jews are guaranteed safety and freedom. It do be like that.

All the fun flavors of anti-Semitism old and new that came from everywhere in the US, yeah, that pissed me off, and still does.

I didn't feel like 10/7 had much to do with me. I recoiled at the horror and barbarity. I understood it was the deadliest terror attack for Jews since WWII. But I saw it as an attack against citizens of another state, not me personally, and one that needed the gross negligence of its government.

NY was a swing state from 1792-1992.

Add to this that NYC avoided the visible ICE invasions of Los Angeles and Chicago, provoking less backlash.

This is the opposite of 2022, when NYC was in a tech and finance rut, disproportionately affected compared to the country.

The thing about the NYC metro area is that it's booming right now. Finance and tech earnings are at a record, and crime is way down from its Trump I bubble peak. The problems the booms generate, like housing, seem local, while the economy seems national.

ICE staying out of NY is ironically preventing snapback among minorities and suburban whites.

I'm not aware of any reputable, reproducible studies on effectiveness, but it is exactly the kind of slop pseudoscience a fried trillionaire would believe. The example I saw was of power washing a rug from an old infomercial, but it was made as a joke.

This is an "ASMR ad" with AI-slop ASMR content to grab attention and an unrelated political message superimposed. It is a style claimed to be effective in various deep memes last year.

I dunno. Maybe running a Jewish right-wing lunatic is worth 10 points.

Yeah but is anyone seeing any D seat losses in NY? Polling is sparse out there.

I hope Troy Jackson mentioned the bribes and the investigation in every answer.

Even if any of those jobs somehow materialize, no D president is going to worry about Baltimore when canceling the contract and putting Palmer in prison.

Maybe this thing will induce a grand unified theory out of broken scraps that were too stupid for anyone to put together.

Reminds me of Eddington being obsessed with epistemological explanations for the fine structure constant being 1/137, except with further measurement we could confirm that it was an irrational number.

Thanks, so this already excludes the low quality partisan pollsters (and AtlasIntel). I'm surprised Yougov is here, since they seem to be in line with probability polls on both now.

Fred, His Enemy Getting a Vote @thefred.bsky.social · 16h
Aren't most of the non-probability pollsters openly partisan?

Fred, His Enemy Getting a Vote @thefred.bsky.social · 17h
Yeah, the averages overall weren't great, but they were biased toward Rs. The high quality pollsters were very accurate--NYT, Marist, Yougov were ones I checked recently.

A D+10 national environment, but with swings in the Northeast, Midwest, and Pacific just barely enough to get Ds what they need while being D+15 or more in the Great Plains and the South would be quite something.

How much of this is the babysitter's parents worried about stranger danger and not the kids' parents?

Yeah, you can still find them, but there are not as many, so it's like actually booking a gig and not just asking someone down the street. Which is more of a friction than the money IME.
