Yes it was. And when those precincts adjusted those totals later, almost all of the votes that they removed were Trump votes.

Why is Michigan not in the call outs?

I have no problem with a NC governor’s race recount. But then I also think we should be recounting the President’s race.

The reason why the election is characterized as “low turnout” is because the media wants to have instant impressions about “what happened” and so insisted on comparing the number of votes counted on Election Day to the total number of votes cast in 2012...even though it took weeks to get to that vote count in 2012.…

If you’re talking about during the Democratic primaries, that was real voter suppression, and it was being carried out by Republicans in order to normalize it before the general election, not by Clinton. But I agree that it was really annoying to keep pointing it out during the primaries, trying to warn people that it…

Me too.

There’s also the Heinlein throughline.

Anything better than zero would have helped.

The thing to concentrate on in 2018 is governors. Anything we can do to have control in more states for 2020 redistricting.

Archetype is a close fit. I would say that archetype refers specifically to characters, whereas a trope could refer to character, plot, or setting.

No, I mean that if Ubisoft insiders are selling shares, that their ownership percentage is falling. You would expect that they would be fighting this by buying shares, rather than selling them.

Insiders typically have to schedule their stock trades way in advance, and there are often only a few windows during the year during which they can sell. So assuming they followed all the procedures and have their paperwork in order, they’ll be fine.

You don’t remember Hillary hitting Bernie for saying that we needed to slow down immigration because it depresses wages? He wasn’t going to talk about it during the primaries, when it hurt him, but he had both some votes and speeches on record which would have allowed him to pivot there in the general.

I don’t know if Sanders would have won the election. But I am certain that he would have won Michigan.

And Seattle is like the best place in the country to be trans. I wish I were back there.

I like Maddow, but she really was better on the radio. O’Donnell is very hit and miss for me, but he’s been great lately. Hayes is probably my favorite.

Or the reason that fewer Democrats showed up could be because they were cut from the voting rolls (WI) or the requirements for voting were changed specifically to keep blacks from showing up (NC).

I got his new album last week, and immediately thought — please don’t let this be like Bowie, where he’s saying goodbye.

It means that he already had an established critique of immigration that included trying to prevent people from coming in and lowering wages, so that when the subject came up, he could talk about it seamlessly, without making his audience feel like he was just blowing smoke up their ass.

Don’t you get tired of cityfolk telling you how people in the country think. I know I do.
