ParticipantI’m a numbers guy. I’m not saying the Dems did anything. Maybe the republicans somehow shed votes for Biden. Whoever made these charts brought data – and it is quite compelling.
I agree, I would like to see all of them. If all of them do conform to BL and these are the only outliers, then it makes it even more suspect. If they are all over the board, then maybe less. If always for the same candidate, maybe more.
Still, the fact that all the other candidates tallies follow the law and one doesn’t is very very odd.
ParticipantI thought this was very interesting.
The percentage of blacks, latinos and women voting for trump all increased from 2016 to 2020.
The percentage of white males voting for trump went down.
See the “by gender and race” section:

ParticipantI suspect his inability to lose gracefully is going to end up being worse than anything he has said or done in the past. Although – check out my next post on Benford’s law. Maybe some fraud is going on.
And Biden going to borrow trillions from our children to “save” the country from Covid.
Maybe conservatives are smart to vote for him. It seems he has been set up to fail – handed an economy that can’t possibly stay afloat.
CNN and MSNBC aren’t going to have anything to cover for the next 4 years. I hope their revenue goes in the shitter. They deserve it. FOX, too.
ParticipantProbably more than one recount will happen, but yes – we will be getting kicked in the left nut instead of the right nut for a few years.
ParticipantI have a new theory. Some day I will test it.
Once two smart people that I know say “sell” and/or “we are in a bubble” then the top of that market is 1 to 2 years off.
September 10, 2020 at 2:05 PM in reply to: Interesting COVID numbers article – Pigg thoughts ? #819609Participant[quote=pencilneck]”Previously, in the world of infectious diseases, it has been accepted that a ‘case’ represents someone with symptoms, usually severe symptoms, usually severe enough to be admitted to hospital.”
Nonsense.
HIV positive, for example, is considered a case of infectious disease even when the person shows no symptoms.
[/quote]Can you cite a source on that ?
September 5, 2020 at 12:22 PM in reply to: Interesting COVID numbers article – Pigg thoughts ? #819546Participant[quote=scaredyclassic]Maybe.
Except in my mind, anecdotally i knew a pretty healthy looking cop in his 50s who died. I doubt he wouldve died from the flu.
Could have…but….[/quote]
The ball has different colors when you cut into it but it is the same size ball. Many children who would have died from the flu have survived COVID, for example.
Participant[quote=scaredyclassic][quote=sdduuuude]Does it really matter ?
We don’t elect a gender for VP, we elect a person. The merits of that person are what they are, regardless of their gender.[/quote]if women see the world fundamentally different than men, it matters. [/quote]
No, it doesn’t. Because we only elect 1 person. That person may or may not be an outlier – a woman who is completely different from all other women or a man, completely different from all other men. So, the gender doesn’t matter at all – only their specific traits. Period. It doesn’t matter one little bit. We don’t need a particular gender in the white house, just a particular person.
Regardless, we will probably get a politician who wants to control everyone’s lives and not what we really need.

[quote=FlyerInHi][quote=outtamojo]Sounds like there will be civil unrest soon.[/quote]
Yeah. The protests are starting already.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/16/us/protests-coronavirus-stay-home-orders/index.html%5B/quote%5DThis is the conflict I was expecting.
The right to peaceably assemble and protest government action in a location where gatherings of a certain size have been forbidden.[/quote]
Although, some of these seem like Trump-related childishness, not an honest protest where someone is really bothered or put out by the orders.
April 17, 2020 at 4:57 PM in reply to: Are you f-ing kidding me ? Cali paying cash to illegal immigrants. #816601ParticipantAnd just you saying “pay 500 to an illegal” bothers me alot.
I’m not saying I think we should deport all the Mexicans or build the wall or even that they are, philosophically criminals – but the fact of the matter is they have broken the law. The gov is supposed to support and enforce the law of the land and if someone has broken the law, they should be punished by the “law” (aka the government). Not paid. Yes, it is deeply disturbing. Trump golfing, also deeply disturbing.
Lehman Brothers bailout – also deeply disturbing.
Adding on – even a socialist should cringe at this because if you take the US as a society that pays taxes to pool resources for the common good, why would we include those that aren’t in the club ? Why wouldn’t those funds go to help those in the social group that paid in the money in the first place.

I absolutely can say that in good conscience, except i would eliminate the words “white” and “brown”[/quote]
Maybe, but I never see any posts or fox news editorials that start with:
Are you f-ing kidding me ? Americans paying cash for trumps golf game.
Indeed. It’s hard to picture getting worked up in the same way about it as you get worked up about 500 to an ilkegsl.
Honestly: are you equally angry about both, or does the cash 4 Mexicans really bug u more?
Cuz honestly, trumps golf bill riles the living shit out of me, the fucking hypocrisy after criticizing Obama’s occasional game. And the cash for illegals is bothersome, but not in the same ballpark.[/quote]
Seriously, I am equally angry about them. One is blatant abuse of taxpayer money. The other is abuse of taxpay money, disguised as “doing good”
So, which thief is worse, the one who slaps you in the face and takes your wallet or the one who puts your arm around you, comforts you and then pickpockets your wallet all the while you think he is being nice ?[/quote]
I suppose on a “dollar per thief” level, the Trump one is worse, though.
And my point still stands that “just because I think one is wrong, doesn’t mean the other is not wrong” holds true.
Even if they are different “levels”, it is not illogical or in consistent to be opposed to both.
