These people who say they have a good immune system so they don't need vaccines: I beg you to learn the difference between the innate and adaptive immune systems

"Police identify shooter" would be shorter than "Policemen identify gunman" and also probably more accurate anyway

Fuck him and fuck them. I think they underestimate how angry the Democratic base is with people like Newsom.

You could make compact, representative districts, do statewide proportional representation voting, then assign representatives to districts based first on proportion within district, then based on candidate preference

I mean, the majority of Republican voters actually do better under Democratic leadership and often even prefer Democratic policy. So the people being hurt the most are shitty politicians who might even ban gerrymandering nationally if they get rocked hard enough

I don't think that would be legal even in one-party states, lol. Recordings by an eavesdropper are generally frowned upon.

No. Both people have to consent to being recorded. They don't need an additional consent for each recording.

Usually in 2 party consent states you only need consent for the conversation to be recorded, not for specific people to record it. That means if someone else is recording, you get to record, and you don't need to say anything

LI is a very, very different beast than NYC, but yes.

It's definitely complicated. And someone who got Mamdani's general margins also wouldn't win with upstate support. But people getting huge margins and high turnout in NYC is definitely precedented. Strong upstate support is not required, though the governor is supposed to represent the whole state

I think it's important to bring humanity back to politics, and this is part of it. Obviously we should do serious things but like by people and for people

No, this is mediocre privileged sadists from the dominant ethnic groups who are afraid of losing their power when they become a plurality instead of the majority. They need to be punished for their crimes and kept away from political power for the rest of their lives

Howard Dean tried to expand what noises could be made at a press conference, but he was ahead of his time.

I mean, it's close to true. NYC has 43% of the state's population. If you win 70% of NYC and 35% of the rest of the state, you win. Mamdani didn't get that but there was a spoiler running against him. Even Bill Deblasio got over 70%
