Moderately liberal but strongly partisan Democrat. Interested in elections and policy (especially economics). More like Colin Hanks than Chet Hanks.

@InlandCaGuy Those are good and useful things to ponder, but I was really just referring to population and policies to change it, not any broader questions.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@InlandCaGuy I'm trying to find credible comparable stats on females of reproductive age for each country but haven't been able to do so.

Still, even if China starts out in a worst position, I think the bigger issue changing/catching up/growing may be cultural more than structural.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@SomeElectionGuy Definitely, and there are some other relevant factors mentioned here.

But really, anything demo-specific seems like a situation where we need to wait to see if any results continue trending in one direction.

@DrewSav Yes. But important to see the swing in the precinct. Voters who would agree with Malinowski on Netinyahu War Crimes but didn't see Meija as making an effort to show up and meet the community where they were on Jewish safety. Yes J Street endorsed her, but voters are real people.

@RoninJoey I had a dream that I was campaigning for president and one of my kids made me look like a jerk in front of John Legend (and maybe Chrissy Teigen) but he was really a gentleman about it and people liked him more after hearing about it.

They're not afraid of anything here. They see an opportunity to tag the Democrats to some horrifically unpopular positions, like praising the Chinese Communist Party, lamenting the fall of the USSR, and expressing admiration for Hezbollah and the Houthis.

We’re all trapped in a toxic abusive relationship with this blubbering fool, and those who could do something about it are busy deifying him. Everything is insane.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@jCloudyPants @JenniferEValent @AntiToxicPeople All of that, but also, what about the claim that Trump can quote so many sermons, as if he's reading the Bible constantly? Anything's possible, but there's just no reason, at all, to think this is true. You'd think there be shame about telling such a seemingly ridiculous lie.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@magi_jay Here's a sort of reverse sentiment and an appreciation for the guys who aren't "malignant failsons" (tough but fair wording for many) and make it clear what guys should aim for and women should aim to get, or something like that.

@CentristMadness Who are the actual Neo-Nazis on the left (and right) here?

I say "actual" because I think that term is certainly strong but gets thrown around a little too casually as it might not apply to that many people.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@JJM352588 @agraybee All of which is to say, it seems like we're overdue for a remake of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids franchise. Or at least a rerelease in theaters with 30 extra seconds of footage that supposedly makes a difference to the plot.

@lord__mike @magi_jay For some people, that's prob. true. Maybe a lot of them.

FWIW, I think a lot of the difficult, uncommitted types don't realize how much they run the risk of losing any influence with Ds moving forward.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@lord__mike @magi_jay There does seem to be a lot of inconsistency in how they are approaching this, for whatever reason, although maybe it's because I'm looking at them as a group and not an individual level. Of course, I don't spend that much time looking at those types in general.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@InlandCaGuy @DerekPederson3 I believe you, and yes, a lot of the people you're referring to are the types that should do some reflection as I said but prob won't.

FWIW, I would have had less of an issue with the political argument vs. the conspiracy/dementia argument, but lots of people conflated them.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@InlandCaGuy @DerekPederson3 If anything, I think you might've just shrugged at how hopped up I was. I don't recall you having a specific view on it. Mentioning you was my way of joking I used to reply a lot to you about this subject (and pointing out that you prob. don't remember since you have a life).

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@RadioFreeTom These aren't real polls, Tom. They're fake polls with made up people or lots of illegal immigrants designed to hurt Trump. If you look at legit polls, Trump is at 95%+ approval. Maybe 150%+ or even 1500%+ approval. But the media won't cover those. It's just not fair to him.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@InlandCaGuy @DerekPederson3 I doubt you remember, but I pushed back on this sort of thing hard, including to you, and lots of people just scoffed or refused to listen. Lots of people (not you!) really showed their asses during that debate. It's kind of galling people just moved on without much reflection.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@lord__mike @magi_jay If I had to guess, I'd say the thinking is that a reformed MTG might be able to help pry lose of the marginal Trump supporters. If so, it could make sense to align with her. But there are lot of ifs and maybes in that scenario. We're def. not there yet.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@GambelerQuail It's probably because you have an inquisitive mind and like to know why stuff happened.

[kevinhasquestions @qsfromkevin]

@Under_Duress77 @rainnyseattle Fans of Timothée Chalamet will come at you hard for this.
