What cost do you price in for switching nominees? How do you calculate the expected value of lawsuits trying to hold a replacement nominee off the ballot? What is the expected polling value of people tuning in in October to hear that the Democrat president resigned? These are complex systems

This election cycle is truly unbelievable and totally unpredictable. Trump gets shot and his poll numbers drop.

It is funny that it took less than a month after all the "Expand your social circles! Don't use bluesky just to talk to the same 100ish dolls over and over again!" basically every trans woman on this site has been subjected to a mass-block/report crusade by cis people who think we're all white men

I continue to think that a likely response to the debate was a lot of people going "dear god I forgot how much I dislike this guy" and in that same vein, I think events like this can make a lot of people go "dear god I forgot how much I hated this chaos".

You’d think there might be some renewed coverage of Republican politicians openly calling for political killings in the wake of all this. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump-Endorsed Candidate for Governor: ‘Some Folks Need Killing’www.rollingstone.com North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson declared "some people need killing" during a Sunday sermon.

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

The full Bsky experience is watching a far left account post both "I'll never vote for the democrats, they're just the lesser evil" & "the Republicans are the new Nazi party and that's not hyperbole" without any apparent sense of cognitive dissonance
