You misspelled "mandating." Otherwise no notes.
Rankings by net number of D Senate seats gained: R+anything: Failure of humiliating, eternal proportions +0: Ditto^ D+1: Extremely bad night. Possibly barely salvageable in 2028. D+2: Very bad night. Winnable in 2028, but nothing else. D+3: Bad night. GOP judge train continues. D+4: Decent night. But Fetterman all-important. D+5: Good night. Real majority. D+6-7: Excellent night. D+8+: We're abolishing pronouns

That's just not accurate. The Four Pests Campaign was a decade into his rule and killed 30 million or so people. The struggle sessions were all over by then. From 49-53 (after the war) the state itself killed around 5 million people elimination opposition.
Growing up is realising a lot of the "deaths under Mao's China" was peasants taking revenge on landlords while the cadres were like "no guys please that's against the new democratic constitution don't ruin the vibe :("

Conservatives are just not answering the poll. Hard to say if that's because of the conservative shift on polls in general, or because conservative turnout is depressed.
They have a pretty broad margin of error in all their polling yesterday, but this lead is so big it is outside of even that. So, either they are going to nail something every other pollster missed and Sayed wins by like 7-15 points, or, their whole methodology is broken/impossible. If Rogers wins, or if El-Sayed wins but only by a few points or less, they need to basically quit polling unless they can comprehensively address what is going on.

It's kind of a catch 22 because the Dems are unapologetically looking to reduce the overall manpower of the military itself.

The ACA did what it was meant to do: destroy the system. The best case now is a single payer system that allows individuals to carry private policies. Emergency care runs through single payer, quality of life care gets tightly rationed or routed through the private policy.
Health Care reform is inevitable, so I think the moderates need to come up with a plan asap. These costs are out of control and will get worse. But the problem is that M4A is a demand subsidy and medical care is supply constrained, so absent supply reforms, M4A would backfire spectacularly.

This was always correct. Sadly.
The one big thing I might have been right about and you will have to all accept is that Democrats didn’t have to change a damn thing. They just needed MAGA to flop.

It means that the underwriting model will assume the rent freeze will continue, and that will negatively impact the model leading them to deny most financing requests.
I know what underwriting is. That’s not my point.

You have to assume he can and will.

Is it reasonable to assume that the Mayor can pull off a rent freeze for every year that he is office?

the problem is that Sanders singlehandedly shifted the Democratic platform to the left in 2016. That it didn't move as far left as he wants is immaterial. Putting additional people who are aligned with him into government is incredibly dumb.
It goes without saying that I have major disagreements with both Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed, and neither one particularly likes me. Rogers and I regularly battled in the U.S. House. I’m a staunch defender of liberty and the Constitution, and he’s a champion of big weaponized government, mass surveillance, and endless wars. He tried (and failed) to oust me from Congress. When I was considering a presidential run in 2020, El-Sayed wrote a gratuitous op-ed to warn people that “Justin Amash is no hero,” calling my principles “heartless” and finishing with the reminder: “Your enemy’s enemy is not your friend.” In short, I have no soft spot for either of these guys. I also don’t vote for “the lesser of two evils.” I believe you should support a candidate only if you truly want the person to hold that office. I’ve already voted, and consistent with the above principle, I didn’t vote for Rogers or El-Sayed. But I do know which one would be more dangerous in the U.S. Senate—and it’s not even close.

How reasonable will the Democrats be?
Imagine the Dems have a good result and end up with a sizeable House majority and 53 Senate seats. One of the most interesting questions for me is "How fast do Republicans start breaking from lame-duck Trump?"

Troll, troll, troll yer boat.
The Paxton vibe shift is real folks. I’m sitting on my porch in Texas, and I just witnessed a massive parade of boomer patriots marching down the street toward the polls, all singing the “We’re gonna Vote” song in unison… I think it’s safe to say, we are going to win.

It can easily be both. At this point, liberals and progs have been abusive towards them for a decade, so of course they're not interested in responding (just how they are). It is possible that at the same time they are gonna stay home because they're disappointed.
The question is not "Are polls undercounting Republicans?" They are. Pollsters know, and are making good faith efforts to correct for it. The right question is "Is that just how Republicans are, or are they not answering polls because they're discouraged and unlikely to vote?"

Why are all the Menty Bs from your political cohort?
"Here's a video of a mentally ill private citizen having a public breakdown. Someone filmed it and posted it online. Will you help me disseminate it?" "I don't know... can I weaponize it to attack my political enemies?" "Yes." "WELL SEND IT OVER!!!!"

What reckoning is he talking about Apparently it's coming either way. "The fire will rise." Seems ominous. I seem to have heard it before, uttered by a fictional supervillain.
If, God forbid, Abdul loses, this will be a watershed moment in Democratic politics. The fire will rise. It's over. People will be radicalized against corporate, pro-Israel Dems. There will be a reckoning. If, when, he wins, it will be a watershed moment. And that reckoning will still come.

Charged within 2 weeks I imagine.
How long until the firefighter is prosecuted, do you think?

It's not racist. We tend to go by first names in this country you hack. If she called hi. By his full name you'd call that racist too. Pathetic.
This whole time she keeps referring to @AbdulElSayed as just “Abdul,” it’s actually a not so subtle form of racism when people refer to you only by the part of your name that’s easy to pronounce (as if the rest doesn’t matter anyways)

This from a Canadian. The derangement would be funny if it wasn't pathetic.
My politics are that I hate Donald Trump, I hate people who like Donald Trump, and I hate people who don't hate Donald Trump as much as I do. The only outcomes I care about are the ones that make life harder for Donald Trump.

It's really 76-84 ish.
There was a whole generation between gen x and millennial, born from around 80-85, who are different than everyone else.

Hardly. I absolutely do not care that he got himself killed-stupid games stupid prizes. But there's enough fuzziness there that an actual independent investigation of his death would be worthwhile.

Interesting to see you suddenly change your tune on Alex Pretti.
