  • In case you're not aware, 538 was acquired by Disney/ABC, and he's no longer involved with them.

    So yeah, he's just a pundit now, and his punditry was never that great to begin with. The Model is what made him good

  • Time to teach a fun fact!

    Up until 2020, the official name of Rhode Island was State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

    Providence and surrounding towns on the mainland were the "Providence Plantations", and Newport and Portsmouth, on the island also known as Aquidneck Island, were the Rhode Island part of the equation.

  • I suppose I'm not understanding the argument that a relatively slow appeals process violates someone's right to a speedy trial. By definition, if you're appealing, you've already had a trial and lost.

    I do think we are incarcerating too many people, but serving time while waiting on an appeal doesn't inherently violate someone's right to a speedy trial.

  • Yeah that doesn't mean they're gonna send a Republican to the Senate at all, though, or that it's a risk if you run anyone other than Menendez or a robot.

    Northeastern Republicans are capable of winning governorships as moderates, largely because they'll have to work with a Democratic-controlled legislature to get anything done. The dynamic isn't the same for a legislator vs an executive.

    Source: have watched Massachusetts elect several Republican governors in my lifetime.

  • I am confident that's the case - there's a reason the mobile website is constantly asking you if you'd like to use the app instead... it's their preferred mode for you to view. Even if it is terrible, it locks you onto Reddit.
