He/Him. I love my Seattle Sounders, logic and statistics, my reality TV, actual quality TV and Detroit (Buddy's) Pizza.

@D_M__M_D @soccer_absolut3 @woke8yearold This is undoubtedly correct.

@mlscaturo @JeremiahOshan Our flight couldn't land and was diverted to Spokane. Was rebooked on a 5am flight that had to take off out of a snowstorm. Had only 5.5 hours. So I just hung out at the airport in the interim.

@BritVoxUS Also, the "margin of error" only covers the likelihood of interviewing an unrepresentative sample. There can also be non-response error, lying error, people changing their minds, or making bad assumptions in balancing the sample.

@BritVoxUS One of the differences between Selzer and the rest is that Selzer isn't afraid to publish an outlier like this while most pollsters would bury the poll or massage the results so as not to risk looking foolish.

@justseels @pescami Nate did pretty well for himself this election cycle. He made a crapload of money selling his info to the people that generally appreciate it. The people that saw 50/50 with no commentary were the masses that don't understand his work and more context wouldn't have helped.

@JeremiahOshan I'd like to know what percentage of PK takers end up kicking where they planned vs those that change their plans based on what they perceive the keeper is doing.

@NateSilver538 The streams have crossed!!! Kind of!!!

[Scott Chupack @tooncestdc]

@JayFivekiller @NateSilver538 Actually, Kamala 50.01% - Trump 49.99%!

@BritVoxUS If we win MLS Cup going through Houston, Vancouver, Minnesota, and NYRB, I can't help but feel it would a little tarnished. Still fun though.

@chubicki @rachelalamont But the odds of @rachelalamont personally getting stranded with all Tuku would be about 400-1.

Is Arnord Schwarzenegger the biggest names of the Republicans endorsing Trump? Dick and Liz Chaney are pretty big names also.

[Arnold Schwarzenegger @Schwarzenegger]

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.

I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.

My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.

That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.

Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.

It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.

I want to tune out.

But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.

And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.

That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.

For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.

The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.

It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!

But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.

It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.

We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.

That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.

Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.

And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. https://t.co/eHFZ723I4H

@AriLiljenwall Do we need to be doing more PK shootouts in the North end in the future?

[Scott Chupack @tooncestdc]

@AndrewVisnovsky Down 5-0 in a baseball playoff game, teams generally don't shut it down and stop trying to save their energy. About the only significant difference is that they may choose a different quality of relief pitcher to put in.
Down 2-0 or 3-0 in MLS game 1 and you stop playing defense.

@JeremiahOshan Median 401k for age 25-34 is $15,000
Median 401k for age 35-44 is $36,000
Median 401k for age 45-54 is $61,000

So, the thought is that the average person doen't want to hear how well someone's $1,000,000 401k is doing, even when it helps everyone.

[Scott Chupack @tooncestdc]

@PaulTenorio At a bare minimum, if you are moving the season out of summer, you would have to give up playing all games at 7:30pm. Football is the only outdoor sport that attempts a similar time of year and the majority of games are played in early afternoon.

@taylorallen133 @deedee42066 Do we know that 2nd place gets no per-diem but AFP does?

[Scott Chupack @tooncestdc]

@AriLiljenwall I know we are in 3rd now, but can we just agree to finish 4th instead?
