Narcissists:
Unrealistic sense of superiority
Cannot accept when reality doesn’t match their delusions of grandeur; responds with denial, projection, gaslighting, and/or blame-shifting
Carry a profound sense of entitlement, believing that rules and laws don’t apply to them
@Fair_and_Biased CA voting got to ~50% mail-in back in ‘10 & rose to 60% by ‘16…so, no
All in-person vote would skew the same, bc the largest counties take the longest to count & they skew democrat. You could condense the timeframe, but it’d be the same pattern w/the same idiots crying fraud
@Daniel5_27@thevillagerabbi Using a student-t distribution would assume there’s nothing systemically different about the remaining votes compared to the known ones, but thats not true. The remaining votes skew more heavily Democrat bc of the counties that remaining votes come from.
@realsidjain@thevillagerabbi Bass’ vote total wouldn’t stay at 35%, tho. She’d get some of those add’l dem votes, too.
If Raman continues getting 40% of the votes among the 2 of them, it would have to be more like 43%/28%/16%
@BrittRooted Because the gap is so large that the winner is known before counting all the votes (which still take weeks to count).
If the only thing that mattered in this governor primary is who got the most votes, it would also be called already (tho still takes weeks to finish counting)
@Cip3of4@Polymarket Most votes to come are from counties skewing D
If remaining 40% splits 80/20 (D/R) & she continues getting 40% of D vote that’s 32%-20% vs Pratt. 12% of 40% is ~5%, leaving her 3% short
She needs ~17.5% spread in last 40%. E.g., If split was 84/16 or if she got 47% D vote
@Cip3of4@Polymarket Ok, I just realized that a lot of folks are more reacting to odds on Pratt vs Raman and concerned more with who will advance. Headline should’ve clued me in
@damintoell If you spent the last 10 yrs being told this guy was a mentally ill, incompetent moron; & not only did you dismiss it, but you believed people saying it were unhinged morons…you prob have to come up w/shit like this bc the idea that you were the unhinged moron is too painful
@SpencerHakimian He says this because he is a narcissist and cannot accept bad realities
His supporters believe him bc he’s making their bigotry policy and that has overridden their ability to process reality and they instead accept his version of reality even when it is irrational
@IamSean90 Counting was never complete on election night, but the remaining ballots were a small % and therefore the winner was often already known regardless of those ballots
It’s the increase in mail-in ballots, along with the time to cure those ballots that have driven the increase
@Alicia_Smith19 Ofc there are ways to fix it, but it’s a tradeoff. FL prioritizes speed; CA prioritizes voter access
FL requires mail-ins to arrive by election day; in CA they have to be postmarked by election day
CA gives you weeks to cure a signature mismatch; FL gives you 2 days
Etc
@TPCarney “You shouldn’t protest during a pandemic” & “We shouldn’t use the military to quell protests” are not mutually exclusive
Did you think he meant “You shouldn’t protest during a pandemic, so we should use the military to stop it”? That would be contradictory but not what was said
@ClayTravis It’s a similar scenario to 2024, yet you came up with plenty of reasons…so, I’m sure if you try really hard you can find a few reasons people aren’t happy
@BrettErickson28 People always try to backfit some strategy or intelligence into what Trump does when there is none
Trump is a narcissist, and the reason he’s doing this - same as everything he does - is he has no grip on reality
