I've no idea if it's some desperate effort to follow pop culture but I'm fascinated by the whole Yung Gravy and Addison Rae's mom coverage - JD Aug 30, 10:14 7
- Is there a decoder ring for this post, and can you break it? -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 10:15 6
  - I speak JD: Tik Tok white rapper who is known for loving some Cougar action, hooked up with a famous Tik Tok influencer's MOM - St. Epiphany Aug 30, 10:33 3
    - Omg, can you translate this into Jive ? -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 30, 10:35
    - I don't think anyone should be concerned they don't know who Tik Tok people are. -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 30, 10:34 1
      - Thank you for your sacrifice and your service. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 30, 10:36
  - Kim and I had a running joke when he would write BOP content. She could "speak JD." I...could not. -- nm - David Aug 30, 10:32

  - Paymer was in the last season of Picard -- nm - Roger More Aug 30, 10:30 1
    - Yep. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:31

    - (Spoils, because it came up in my search) - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:31
  - Lewis Black? -- nm - mud Aug 30, 10:26 2
    - Not according to what I could find, but he'd be a good fit. Maybe he could play a sentient computer. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 30, 10:28 1
      - I honestly thought he played a ferengi -- nm - mud Aug 30, 10:29

whoa! -- (link) - mud Aug 30, 09:38 23
- Currently we are afraid to vote for 3rd parties because that always gives advantage to the wrong other party ie Nader Gore Bush... - zeitgeist Aug 30, 10:34
- This makes no sense. For president EC is mostly statewide so redistricting and ranked choice makes no difference. The House isn't winner take all. -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 10:05 6
  - His argument is that ranked choice voting would eliminate primaries and give more power for parties to elect candidates - Roger More Aug 30, 10:18 1
    - Feels like it would be the opposite, to me. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 10:24
  - ranked choice could make a difference with third party voters, although only in states where no one gets 50% to start. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 10:07 1
    - True. AZ, GA, NC, WI would have gone to ranked choice in 2020 (more likely to help Trump). Voters would be more likely to vote 3rd party with ranked - Dano Aug 30, 10:17
  - Ah. I see. It's just nonsense fear mongering by a Republican operative. -- nm - Dano Aug 30, 10:07 1
    - yeah sorry, I just liked Ishaan Tharoor (WaPo)'s post. I also have a map obsession .. and I had an urge to say "whoa!" this morning. -- nm - mud Aug 30, 10:10
- ohhhh it looks like a new Louisiana Purchase -- nm - Jovian Aug 30, 09:56 1
  - heh -- nm - mud Aug 30, 09:59
- Any scenario for Idaho going blue is ... out there. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 09:55 3
  - I'd think that for TN, but all the bigger cities are blue, so probably is right. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 30, 10:00 1
    - also, NC and FL still red somehow in this scenario. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 10:05
  - indeed. -- nm - mud Aug 30, 09:56
- I fail to see how ranked choice and independent redistricting would affect a two-party presidential vote... This smells like BS. -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 09:45 4
  - I haven't looked at the thread, but I want an explanation too. Would it impact the House makeup? Almost certainly. But how does it change POTUS elex? -- nm* - ty97 Aug 30, 09:47 3
    - the map post is from a Tyler Bowyer (RNC), so it's likely bullshit. -- nm - mud Aug 30, 09:56 2
      - ahh, it's RNC fearmongering, got it -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 09:56 1
        
        Sorta hilarious that they left Alaska red when it's the state that's actually going to elect a Dem congressperson because of ranked choice. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 10:02
- Based on registration or actual vote? By district or zip? I feel like gerrymandering alone doesn't explain that vs the House numbers. -- nm - Max Aug 30, 09:41
- Do, Away. With. The. EC! (NM) - Marlowe Aug 30, 09:40 2
  - This is how you get a civil war. Imagine the chaos of a close presidential vote. Florida 2000 x 50. -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 09:47 1
    - Except that if the popular vote is that close, you will get a handful of swing states even closer, so your civil war is happening anyway. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 30, 10:37

- That lady using the walker had better run! - St. Epiphany Aug 30, 08:14
