Who will run in 2020?

Yes, they estimated Hillary Clinton to win the popular vote by 3 points nationally, with an MoE of 3 points. She only won by 2 points nationally. Fake, rigged, etc.

Yeah, I expect the polls are pretty close. The American base is that dumb and that explains why Trump and Biden have the most supporters in the country. Dumb, selfish, racist, etc.

It has more to do with the same reason most people on this forum have Warren as their number one.

They recognize how fucked everything is for poor people but they donā€™t quite trust them.

But Yang said he didnā€™t have a ā€œterrific answerā€ on the issue.

Yang is right in that there is no terrific answer to a bunch of waste sitting around in places like Hanford, Washington which would probably be better off in Nevada, but is dangerous and expensive to move and no one in Nevada wants it moved there.

Why canā€™t we just nuke the waste like you would a hurricane?

Got me thinking about environmentalism and conservatism. The conservative ā€œenvironmentalistsā€ or conservationists are about clean air and water, but only about pollution that you can see. Like they donā€™t believe it if you canā€™t see it, whether itā€™s lead, ozone depletion, CO2 or radioactivity. Got me wondering if there was such a thing as germ denialism. Andā€¦

He was a natural hygienist who opposed germ theory

Probably, heā€™s notorious for responding to random emails. I sent him an email once and he replied.

Me too! I emailed him sometime around 1997-98 about the Irish peace process and US government involvement in it and he emailed me back a fairly long, thoughtful piece.

LOL Biden. Iā€™m really looking forward to him dropping out and my forgetting he exists.

If Biden win the nomination I will never tolerate a suggestion that Democrats are an iota better than Republicans. Iā€™m talking about the general population, not politicians.

Obviously they arenā€™t. My youngest brother was a full time volunteer for the Obama campaign in 2012 (he was actually pretty high ranking in the OH campaign infrastructure toward the end), and regular contact with core Democratic voters turned him off politics pretty hard. He still follows it but probably wonā€™t ever be directly involved. He wanted it to be his career too. Imagine being so soul crushed by the experience of retail politics that you decide to go be an actuary instead?

Crazy liberals are crazy. They are on the ā€˜right sideā€™ mostly because blind chance, not because they are decent human beings.

Hey now. Being an actuary is a damn fine life, with purpose and value. I will not tolerate this assault on my profession.

We did these career-aptitude tests in school and they said I should be an actuary. So we can pivot to mocking the profession of whoever puts together those recommendations. I am the peacemaker.
