#Midterms2022

I’m incredibly gullible & give people passes b/c i believe they’ll eventually come around to doing the right thing…for eg. truly believed after #Midterms2022 #Democrats would #BringBackMasks

when #goop began couldn’t understand why people couldn’t stand it thinking, it’s just posts #recipes #recommendations what’s the harm?
HA; lots of harm actually
Makes me furious she complains about #longCovid but then models this #everythingIsFine

I had these outfits since ‘97 so she’s no fashion icon

This analysis of the polls and the #fivethirtyeight model for the #Midterms2022 is a really interesting look at how even presentation of 'statistical data' is a kind of storytelling.
The debate is over whether media and polls wrongly predicted a 'red wave'.
Nate Silver says here that getting the wrong impression is because social media has made it 'all vibes' but I think the need to frame information in narratives is a far older and more basic tendency. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/politics-podcast-how-our-2022-forecasts-actually-did/

I think it's funny that #republicans endure #humiliation after being humiliated in the #Midterms2022.

Does this turd just wake up to the fact that omnibus budget is common now around the world after over 150 years of passing budgets?

Who does the #gop think they are fooling?

Meanwhile, in Australia, voters are treated to BBQs at voting locations and get to attend on a weekend. There's stuff and ideas in the US that leaves me scratching my head in utter confusion.

"Many pundits have scratched their heads and wondered how a race between two African American men, one a thoughtful and respected Christian minister who occupies the same pulpit as Martin Luther King, Jr., and the other a personable but deeply flawed former football star, is even close"

For the outside, the current attack on democracy in the " land of the free" is astounding & contradictory

The Republicans are not just good at gaslighting but also distractions, how else can you explain why they expect us to be angry about Hunter who is probably more harmful to himself than everyone else, but not Ivanka who actually profited from the people by the MILLIONS?

Almost Twice as Many #Republicans Died From #COVID Before #Midterms2022 Than #Democrats
Study can’t say if this impacted #midterms, but say it’s “plausible given just how stark the differences in vaccination rates have been, among Democrats & Republicans.” https://bit.ly/3AmSLdD

A political philosopher and expert on civic ethics looks at the big picture of the #Midterms, and says it's an exaggeration to call it an endorsement of Biden's agenda or rejection of Trump's agenda.
"U.S. democracy today is driven by partisan identity rather than policy. Elections thus are won not by changing the minds of undecided voters, but by mobilizing the party’s base."

Congratulations to Hugo Soto-Martinez. Long time union organizer at Unite Here Local 11 and son of street vendor immigrants. Hugo has spent many years unionizing hotel and restaurant workers of color and immigrant workers. So glad to have a trade unionist who understands that we need more elected officials from the labor movement! #LosAngeles #Midterms2022 #LACityCouncil
