I remember when Colorado was a mega swing state. Now it seems more, "Man, the Democrat died out there," if he/she can't win it. That IS unexpected. I read that about her back in 2014. She was part of several red state Democrats - Michelle Nunn, Jason Carter - who were considered strong candidates due to being part of a political family but lost. I hope there's a behind the scenes on that.

I see a major glaring issue with those polls.

Around 5:30, some economically anxious woman starts to throw the term n***** around.

Just a reminder that the idea that "coastal elites" live in a bubble comes from people who police in bubbles.

That second screenshot.

After that bump in approval ratings in late March, his numbers have taken a consistent turn for nearly three months now.

That won't be a problem. It'll do around 2000 to encompass every race, including state races. 56k warning.

THEN SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

All right, hopefully this week I have a nice comprehensive OP ready.

RBG, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Roberts and Gorsuch voted in favor of LGBT. All dissenters were conservatives.

I've considered buying it several times. Would you say it's a good couples game?

How is it?

Yeah but the governor's mansion is a different beast. It hasn't helped in Maryland statewide. It's telling that Republicans could win with a walking dildo in Virginia in 2000 but now have to run a moderate Democrat to sweep.

I don't even think they'd dominate if they did that. Maybe they'd do better? But Virginia has been trending for Democrats since 2006. Hey, I never said y'all said that! Unless you're just talking to Chair, but I was just saying I appreciated some of the points he was making. I almost think there should be a separate congressional/governors thread. I could try to make a good OP for it if y'all want; I think it would help.

It's definitely not as busy as 10 years ago, but I wouldn't say it's gone "downhill." I quite enjoy posting with the group, and it's pretty chillax. I post on Reset as well and enjoy the activity, but I feel like there are a ton of teens on there sometimes with the weird ass shit they complain about. And I also enjoy maddux's giveaways. This is all silly, so ima hug you fuckers

The internet is quick again.

You gon' write in Ron Paul and like it I think those responding to you saying there's a huge overreaction to 2016 have a good point. There really has been a misunderstanding about 2016. I think you've got the right idea, though. I think a lot of you have the right idea in different ways. This is how I see 2016: 1. There's totally an incumbent advantage even with bad approval ratings. There wasn't a united Republican front to spread Trump's message in 2016; people were jumping ship a month prior to the election. The fundraising is united behind him, the party is united behind him, and he's a known quantity. That can work against him, but conservatives who held their nose in 2016 can now point to judges and a big and terrible corporate tax cut bill as reasons to vote for him. 2. No matter how nuts the cult is, no party has a majority in the electorate. Independents aren't really jumping on the Trump train right now with 110k dead, stimulus checks not coming to people, and a broken Republican unemployment website in Florida. He vowed that the chaos would end with him and it's more chaotic than any point in the past decade, far as I can see. 3. Trump hasn't gone scorched earth yet as he did Hillary. After the first debate, the mothafucka straight up said she should be in jail: Last year when they were going after Hunter Biden, Trump said Biden was "stone cold crooked." So when we see how that does and what crazy rumors he spreads about his opposition that may suddenly seem true and make the media obsesses over it like Hillary's pneumonia, it'll be easier to understand. 4. Biden is doing better in the polls than Hillary, and it's important what the reasons are. She was leading Trump a lot, but many of those leads had her at 44% or 45%, which means independents going to Trump (which is exactly what happened) could push him past the finish line. It's a different dynamic. I'm still convinced that Trump is a strong opponent despite being a mentally deteriorating buffoon.

Here's an interesting observation about Virginia: You know what looks like it did it? Riggleman officiated a gay wedding.

lol

I don't know whether it's legit or not. But I don't mind him getting pissed about this kind of talk because he spread rumors about Hillary's health -- stroke, dementia, whatever the hell -- which unfortunately took hold during her pneumonia spell. And he's been doing the same to Biden. So... karma's a bitch. I hope the same thing happens to him where everyone is wondering what illness he has.

These fuckers make me wish I was clever like them.

I think it's also this gen. The PS4 was just better top to bottom and significantly easier to develop a game. Compare UC2/UC3 to UC4/Lost Legacy in terms of performance, and UC4/LL were much better performers. UC4 had barely any drops in performance, while Lost Legacy had a few more (the rainy tall grass area and the ambitious final chapter), but the performance was better throughout the game. And it still impresses me that Guerrilla pulled off a game like Horizon Zero Dawn with consistent 30fps performance. Performance issues were just way more frequent last generation.

A bit into the video, the base PS4 version runs fantastically. From Sony's first party, it's unsurprising. Also, they have a nice comparison between this and the first game. Both game out the last main year of the console's life before the successor came out, both are TLOU games, but TLOU2 performs like butter, whereas the first TLOU wasn't smooth on the PS3.

Is there anything resembling a spoiler in the Digital Foundry video because I'd love to watch a tech vid. If not, I'll just wait till later since I enjoy their videos anyway.
