  1. But I was told by well dressed people that we should plan the entire future of our cities, from transit to zoning to walkability, based on the idea that we will have driverless cars by 2020
  2. Name recognition definitely helped in eastern KY. Bevin was still also the most unpopular governor in the country. There are plenty of rabid pro Trump-ers who couldn't stand Bevin, and split their ticket against him
  3. Look at the other statewide races in KY and tell me which one stands out
  4. Headline: Biden up, Warren down in GA in head to head with Trump* *This is media criticism, I know that polls this early have 0 predictive value
  5. My daughter drinks a ton of whole milk and other dairy. If not for her I'd never have the stuff around. Water, coffee, and alcohol are the only drinks for me
  6. More like Kevin McCarthy but ok Remember under the current term of office, Morales' party had a commanding majority in the chamber, and she literally assumed the office that would put her in the line of succession, assumed the presidency of the Senate, thus then assuming the presidency of Bolivia. So it looks like technically she has decided she the president of the Senate and president of the country
  7. I mean that's the point, to get people out of those industries, but also why the gnd, for example, is framed as a jobs program (that will get us off of fossil fuels) but these voters are not a monolith and will need support in the transition. That said Being in a union is one of the largest factors in predicting support for something like a green New deal
  8. Absolute best case is Dems pick up enough to get to 54 votes. Minus the three already saying no, that gives room for one more to go against the rules change after which it's a dead issue. Do you think a new senator from GA, or IA, or even CO is going to come out and make it so next time they're in the minority they're useless, given that the "moderate" wing has already staked out their position?
  9. It's all optics, actual Nazis have figured this out, it's why every fuckwad in Charlottesville was wearing khakis and a polo shirt.
  10. They didn't dance around their answer, they were unequivocal, and just got elected. If anything they will harden their stance as they get closer to their own reelection
  11. Can't wait for Obama 2012-2014 redux. No climate bill (of any kind), no voting rights bill, and certainly no increase in support for those on Obamacare exchanges let alone M4A. Every democratic candidate for president just got neutered on policy, even Joe or Pete or Amy. There is no significant bill that will get through the Senate, and I'd be shocked if they can so much as fill their cabinet or confirm a judge. Mitch will do what Chuck will not do: grind the Senate to a halt to undermine new administration
  12. https://www.oas.org/en/media_center/press_release.asp?sCodigo=S-019/19 OAS report for those who haven't read it And the report from cepr http://cepr.net/publications/reports/bolivia-elections-2019-11
