@Cappelletti7 Old white liberals showing up in a very liberal area in an arena with a seating capacity of 1000 where there is no independent confirmation of the attendance and no media coverage isn't impressive. When YouGov has D up by 1 (they had Harris winning by 4) you're in trouble.
@chriswithans White college educated voters are also overrepresented in the Michigan poll. The claimed movement of white voters to D may well be a reflection of the fact they are under sampling the group that votes R (non-xollege educated) and replacing them with liberal college educated Dems
@chriswithans Great point! The other obvious problem with the sample is the percentage of non-college educated voters. Such voters back Trump and were 58% of voters in 2024 BUT in this poll college educated voters outnumber non-college by about 1/3. That skews the results to D significantly.
@Artdyst@visegrad24 Yes; Pneumonic plague is very treatable by antibiotics & she'd be given treatment immediately after possible exposure through the broken vial BUT she died anyway. Russia is very concerned about spread. Inconsistent with bacteria as we know it & the lab was doing "plague research"
@Triode_in_situ@DrNeilStone So you don't believe COVID had anything to do with the Wuhan Lab that was doing gain of function research on the Corona virus? Accidents happen and Russia isn't know for strict adherence to safeguards in case you haven't heard of Chernobyl.
@DrNeilStone A test tube breaking can occur but one would have assumed she'd have full protective gear. She would have been provided with antibiotics and any other treatment required. She still died and the Russians are worried about spread. That isn't consistent with standard plague bacteria
@AdamKinzinger To me the most concerning issue is after the vial broke she would have been given antibiotics as a prophylactic and any treatment deemed necessary. She still died and the Russians are worried about spread. That's not consistent with the plague bacteria as we know it.
@WarClandestine She was working at a plague research facility. She would have been given antibiotics and whatever treatment may have been deemed necessary but she died anyway. Hospitals there in lockdown, masks mandated & anyone arriving by plane from that area is screened. It's not nothing.
@chriswithans While D could win Alaska, Sullivan overperformed the polls significantly in 2020, he has spent less to date but will be out spending D over next month, Qantas, Trafalgar, Rasmussen, Co-efficient polls all good for him and Trump will campaign. I'd give Sullivan slight edge.
@mirandamelendy@chriswithans Yes but there is zero chance the D have pulled out of NC this cycle because they've given up when they have a strong candidate and every poll shows Cooper ahead, many by a significant margin.
@Claire_V0ltaire The Green Party making it clear they are antisemitic may be helpful & Their splitting the Islamic vote with Labour could be beneficial in the next election, assuming the right consolidates their vote. Regardless, the anti-Israel pro-Russia left losing in Brazil is more important.
@adamheimlich@Claire_V0ltaire 😂 😂 you've obviously not been there in quite some time. The UK as a whole was only 76% white in 2021, with England being less white. Given immigration and the higher non-white birth rate, England is at most 70% white today.are you trying to look foolish ?
@geoffreyfalk@savethewestnow4 It's not illegal and there are CFIA employees in every plant watching it take place. Btw, if you eat meat in Canada you're eating Halal all the time, you just don't know it.
@savethewestnow4 The people claiming it's "labelled" have no idea what they're talking about. The fact it's not labelled Halal means nothing. The Maple Leaf Food Plant in Ontario kills 400 000 chicken a day and they're all slaughtered Halal as it's easier to have it all done one way.
