@2000mehmed @themiddleman007 @NintendoSega54 @Socdem_Michael @NateSilver538 What’s the rush? There’s no reason people need to know on election night when they don’t take office for months. I’d much rather it be easier for thousands of people to vote and wait a bit.

@2000mehmed @themiddleman007 @NintendoSega54 @Socdem_Michael @NateSilver538 I don’t think it’s a big deal. All the big races are called within a couple weeks even if the final tally isn’t known until later. It’s only the small races with low vote count that drag out. But nobody should care if we don’t know who the next dog catcher is until January.

@2000mehmed @themiddleman007 @NintendoSega54 @Socdem_Michael @NateSilver538 Oregon has the exact same rules. Just they’re way smaller so they don’t have the same issues.

@2000mehmed @themiddleman007 @NintendoSega54 @Socdem_Michael @NateSilver538 That’s how long it takes for mail to arrive so they count it. Not the voter’s fault if it gets delayed in the mail

@2000mehmed @themiddleman007 @NintendoSega54 @Socdem_Michael @NateSilver538 % voting age population is the wrong metric. There are people of voting age who are not eligible to vote and should not be included. Need to look at voting eligible population. California had a 62% turnout in 2024, which is above average in the US. https://t.co/oY6dhzmTFg

@themiddleman007 @NintendoSega54 @Socdem_Michael @NateSilver538 It maximizes participation in democracy, so the opposite of a failed state.

@lemmingstribes @VexedVortices LA is the worst imo. 88 mayors in LA. No reason Compton, Beverley Hills, Malibu, Inglewood, West Hollywood, etc. need their own city government. Ohio Republicans working on a law that if you don’t offer police, fire, water, and garbage plus have contested elections you gotta go.

@ZephyrTeachout @AaronRegunberg Is forcing them to be run as public benefit corporations a way forward?

@isaiah_bb If Bernie and Corbyn can catch the label then no one is safe.

@daveweigel Is this Butch Ware shade?

@loomdoop @katewillett Besides official FEC filing... and the red box on her campaign website. Why does she have a red box if she’s not inviting super PACs in? Are you in one of these groups she mentions? If not then you won’t see it. Looks like I nailed the target audience with my guess above though.

@loomdoop @katewillett Digital advertising. I already said that

[Eric Moyer @esotericmoyer]

@sf_mills @saikatc @DropSiteNews @ryangrim Maybe it was. Saikat knew him personally & worked with him on AOC’s campaign so he would probably trust his opinion. He said it was a mistake.

@loomdoop @katewillett California is one of the most expensive media markets so it doesn’t buy as much as other places. And the documented evidence is the official FEC filing that has criminal penalties for lying lol

[Eric Moyer @esotericmoyer]

@Ethanfracisco No lose scenario. They support the person who would be petty and hold it against them if they didn’t back them. The more pro-worker candidate already supports them so it will be easy to repair any damage by not supporting them before.

[Eric Moyer @esotericmoyer]

@ErikAlbertsen @pogchamp_69 @chyeaok So is Facebook and Twitter and instagram and Snapchat and TikTok and Coca Cola and McDonalds and the Super Bowl and... This means nothing on its own.

[Eric Moyer @esotericmoyer]

@loomdoop @katewillett Things you haven’t personally seen can still exist. It’s all about targeting audience. Maybe they’re only after Chinese speaking voters or women or people in her supervisor district or maybe even republicans. If you’re not in whatever audience they’re after then you won’t see it.

@PurpStickyRice @ettingermentum Pratt with the most support in a 4 way jungle primary could be true. Won’t stop him from getting blown out by whoever his opponent is in November.

@LA_Dabbler @IAPolls2022 This just means they paid for the poll, not they conducted it.
