  1. A spokesman for #JStreet, accused Aipac of attempting to impose a narrow definition of what it is to be pro-Israel:

    #Aipac may hope to silence and intimidate political leaders who believe that settlement expansion, endless conflict and permanent occupation are harmful to Israel, the Palestinian people and US interests. Ultimately, however, these common-sense views are too popular, widespread and important to be suppressed.”

  11. Seven reasons Georgians voted for #HerschelWalker.:

    70% - I always vote Repuglican.
    8% - I love football and recognize his name
    7% - Own the libs
    5% - To continue the turmoil of the 50-50 Senate
    4% - A friend or family member recommended.
    1% - He’s black
    5% - His moral character and values (violent mysogynist)
    0% - His policy suggestions. Are there any?

    What else?

    These are totally fabricated off the top of my head. Do you have real numbers?

  16. I am going to have to be VERY careful for the next 20 days.

    Why? Because SO many people told me we'd be dead before Pot was legalized in Missouri.

    I think they were all wrong, but just in case, I bought a big roll of bubble-wrap!!

  17. CW: Politics, COVID, preventable deaths, midterms

    In all the analyses of the US midterms I've read so far people were emphasising the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade as motivating young people and women to vote, thus stopping the expected "red wave" from swamping the Democrats and giving the GOP the Senate and the House with a large majority. And it probably was one of the causative factors, but certainly not the only one.

    There was no red wave, and one of the causes of this unexpected result may have been the fact that the Republican party has been killing its own voters.

    There's an NBER paper establishing quite a significant difference in excess death rates by voter registration:

    nber.org/system/files/working_

    "Post- vaccines, the excess death rate gap between Republicans and Democrats widened from 1.6 pp (22% of the Democrat excess death rate) to 10.4 pp (153% of the Democrat excess death rate). The gap in excess death rates between Republicans and Democrats is concentrated in counties with low vaccination rates and only materializes after vaccines became widely available."

    While there were many races with clear outcomes (like Arizona's Kelly v. Masters), there were many very close races, like Nevada's Senate race, where Masto won by less than ~10000 votes, 0.8pp, or like the Mosley v Gagne race in New Hamshire, won by the Democratic candidate by one vote.

    The excess death rates of GOP voters caused by the anti-vaccine, anti-mask grift of the Trumpist republican party probably contributed significanty to the above-expectations performance of the Dems.

    It's really sad, when you think about it.

    @ChrisCillizza is genius at being a dope.

    Just a reminder that in site of the challenges #polling for the #midterms was very accurate. The races that polled as very close were very close. The races that polled as sure things went the way the polls said they would. The issue was media outlets taking some races where polls said Republicans had a 50.1 to 55% chan e of winning and assuming that all of them would be Republican victories. Democrats over-performed the polls by only 2-3% nation wide and that was enough to sneak by some very close contests.

    In summary the only way the polling for the #2022midterms was wrong is if you think polls make binary predictions not statistical odds.
