this is the only thing i've seen so far that is legit worrisome for 2020. someone somewhere in the responses to this mentioned that a d +5 popular vote could yield a r electoral college win.

Maybe need a bike helmet TBI chart.

Despite the high rate of helmet use in the U.S., helmet campaigns have clearly failed to make cycling as safe as it should be. If anything, they’ve distracted from the much more important work of designing safer streets and reducing motor vehicle speeds in cities.

I feel like New Hampshire and Vermont should be big time rivals and that New Hampshire people should hate Bernie's guts.

i think people make way too much of any sort of neighboring state effect. despite the lack of wall, those borders are real.

Many libs are pissed at Beto for choosing not to run for Senate. I think I'll join them.

He wouldn’t have beaten Cornyn. Cornyn is way more popular in Texas than Cruz.
