Good riddance. Hopefully we’ll have a ceasefire by the end of this month.
EDIT:
Netanyahu, you son of a bitch.

Because it was never about Hamas. That was the excuses that’s why, despite having intelligence since the previous summer that showed Hamas was gearing up for the initial attack, Netanyahu did nothing to prevent it so that he could use it as a prelude to begin his genocide. And now that the head honcho is gone, it changes nothing in his plans, because the complete takeover of Gaza and the eradication of the Palestinian people is the goal.

Slow news day. Let’s set up a poll.
Setting aside your personal opinions of them, who do you think will end up winning the 2024 US presidential election?
- Kamala Harris
- Donald Trump

More of a hope than anything related to facts. My only real curiosity is wondering if we might see a silent wave of female voters in Republican voters privately vote for Harris without admiting to their husbands/male friends etc about it.

No idea. There are 7 toss up states but the least likely outcome is that Harris wins 3 or 4 and Trump wins the other 3 or 4. There are a couple possibilities for a tie and one of them is not so crazy. Wouldn’t that be wild to see?
Since I have no faith in the public, I’m expecting a Trump win. Hoping to be wrong about that.
This Presidential election we have 7 tossup states of Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. There are technically some scenarios where the electoral college could end up a 269-269 tie but that isn’t the most likely electoral map at least this election season.
Currently in all 7 tossup states polling averages have Harris or Trump leading in them by less than 1% or just over 1%. Meaning it could come down to the wire in a select few states. But also with most polls showing the race so close, if even a small polling error occurred in favor of a certain nominee they could end up sweeping all the tossup states. Obviously there is no way to know if a polling error will occur though and if it does who it will favor. You can look at past elections like 2012 in which it seemed like a close race only for Obama to easily secure reelection. 2016 obviously we saw an error in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. In 2020 we had another polling error even larger than 2016 though that didn’t get as much attention as 2016 as the polls technically showed Biden as the correct winner. Then most recently in 2022 we saw many polling errors that underestimated Democrats in races across the country leading to the midterm election being more of a mixed bad rather than a red or blue wave. Point is I’d say it’s probably like a 50/50 chance at this point with no way of knowing if a polling error will occur or who that benefits. If they are correct and it’s gonna come down to the wire, turnout will be critical. If one party turns out more than another it could easily cause one party to win the electoral college. In 2012 for example Mitt Romney actually won independent voters and more Democrats than Obama won Republicans. Problem for Mitt Romney was Democratic turnout was way higher than Republicans so at the end of the day Obama still won reelection comfortably. Same thing could happen this Presidential election for either party.
And for any American voters who don’t live in a tossup state don’t sit back either. Even if you don’t influence the Presidential election you will have U.S. House of Representatives seats or possibly U.S. Senate seats up that could influence the makeup and control of Congress. You may also have Governor elections, state legislature seats, or ballot proposals on the ballot which can influence the local politics of your state.

The referendum also occurred during the first round of the Presidential election. Incumbent President Maia Sandu is at 42% with her challenger she’ll face in the second round Alexandr Stoianoglo at 26% of the vote.

Probably Liechtenstein. They seem like a pretty aggressive and destabilizing force in Europe.

You might be joking, but we (Czech Rep.) actually have a territorial dispute with those bastards. They´re after part of our land based on some dubious historical claim. They need to be stopped!
