Election 2022 Hopium Containment Thread

Not sure what you mean by “pure gambling” but it’s not based on any kind of data. We’re all guessing at what the turnout rates are going to be for each party. I have a hard time imagining that Walker is going to inspire high turnout but I’ve been wrong before.

I mean I don’t think you have an edge in that bet, whichever side of it you take.

Yeah, after fixing the typo, I think you are right. Reasonable people can quibble about Moore vs. Walker being worse people, but Walker is definitely less qualified.

On a tangential note, how comfortable do you feel placing wagers on polymarket? How worried are you that you won’t get paid out on a win or your money will somehow disappear?

Less worried than I would be at some random small sportsbook being run out of God knows where. There’s a little bit of risk holding USDC, that’s the main thing that worries me.

If Walker was a character in a film you would blame the writers for way overdoing it.

My wife voted yesterday. I think I’m just going to wait until next week, when more polling locations are open. She was there about an hour. If history holds up, I will have no wait when I go to my regular location next week.

If you get Covid and can’t vote and then he loses by 1 vote how are you going to feel?

I wonder how many people are going to vote for the wrong person because their last names look so similar.

Honestly every time I read a story about them I get the two of them confused. However, aren’t they labeled by political party on the ballot?
