Just 
that the implication of "lost the popular vote" means they're all fine with a winning majority being an impressive 35% or so of people eligible to vote.

« on: August 21, 2018, 05:06:04 PM »10-15 years ago, i would have agreed with the statement that the differences between democrats and republicans were relatively small, but that is no longer the case.
what's changed the most?
Operation Red Map happened, The GOP essentially removed swing districts in the redistricting effort of 2010. They removed 24-30 swing districts to create safe GOP seats and pack a strong majority of democrats into a few districts. So there is no incentive for anyone to compromise as if they do it's perceived as weak. That is the key if the GOP wouldn't have rat mumped the maps in 2010 as bad as they did, we'd probably have another 25-45 swing districts and less safe districts to encourage compromise.
2010 is more than halfway across the axis of the chart. The trend was well under way for the decade prior. Granted, there's devil in the details of how they classify a swing seat that I haven't bothered to dig into that could be masking the effects of redistricting.

« on: August 15, 2018, 02:47:42 PM »I don't think anyone would mistake the two but I took K-S-U to mean Kelly's "look" can't win in Kansas. That look to me is an older lady with short gray hair which has won here before.
That's exactly what he meant. Middle aged white lady is middle aged white lady. K-S-U was hinting that a democrat candidate needs to be young, male, or have some melanin to energize the base. There is no person in America that would energize the democratic base enough to make a democrat gubernatorial candidate viable. Enjoy it.
That's pretty much what the Democrats said in the article he linked.
Although the last 2 non 'Pub Goofs were essentially "middle aged white lady". Kelly is actually older than Joan Finney was when she was elected.

Nothing happened 30 years ago.

Texas game was like holy crap, did that just happen
Was just a complete dismantling. If anyone thought we got in Geno Smith's head, that was patty cake compared to Ricky Williams that day.
Is this the game we ran - and recovered - an onside kick after our first score, or perhaps coming out of half?

it also spends way less on education than it should.QuoteIn 2015-16, California ranked 41st among all states in spending per K-12 student after adjusting for differences in the cost of living in each state (see table below).[2] California schools spent $10,291 per K-12 student in 2015-16, which is about $1,900 less than the $12,252 per student spent by the nation as a whole.[3] California’s spending per student in 2015-16 was about $2,000 higher than it had been in 2012-13, at which point California ranked 50th in the nation.

Confirmation and recency biases along with basic demographics?
IOW, for someone to give a rating other than "Don't Know" to say Carter or Ford, they would have likely had to be at least in their teens to have an opinion that allows them to compare/rank against a more recent POTUS.
My dad will be 79 soon. I doubt he would really care to have an opinion on FDR or Truman compared to say Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon.

I don't think kids thought of gun violence as a potential solution before Columbine presented itself as one.
Interesting stuff here:
The Best Explanation for Our Spate of Mass Shootings Is the Least Comforting
Quote
At the risk of oversimplifying a complex argument, essentially he argues that each mass shooting lowers the threshold for the next. He argues, we are in the midst of a slow-motion “riot” of mass shootings, with the Columbine shooting in many ways the key triggering event.
Quote
Here’s the most ominous part of the Gladwell thesis. The “low threshold” shooters are motivated by “powerful grievances,” but as the riot spreads, the justifications are often manufactured, and the shooters more and more “normal."
Quote
In the day of Eric Harris, we could try to console ourselves with the thought that there was nothing we could do, that no law or intervention or restrictions on guns could make a difference in the face of someone so evil. But the riot has now engulfed the boys who were once content to play with chemistry sets in the basement. The problem is not that there is an endless supply of deeply disturbed young men who are willing to contemplate horrific acts. It’s worse. It’s that young men no longer need to be deeply disturbed to contemplate horrific acts.
