There's a lot of technological possibilities. Also just things like food imports.

Which is right?

Why not none of them?

Not entirely. A few months ago AOC was discussing how her own internal polling of her own district ended up under-estimating her support by around 10 percentage points. It was in that hour long talk she gave explaining why she was still supporting Biden as the candidate, before he dropped out.

Polling has always been tricky, but I think in the past decade its gotten nigh-impossible. These institutions now seem to be more focused on not losing their jobs than actually trying to gauge support for a politician.

Makes me wonder if issue polling instead of politician polling is better. I imagine it probably is a little bit, but I'm not sure.

I don't actually know what they got in exchange, but I'm guessing the N Koreans got the better end of the deal.

That is attention you paid to those tanks, resources consumed to deal with them.

(resources that could've otherwise hit an IFV full of guys)

You can't electronically jam a tank. It also forces your opponents to pay a lot of attention to it, taking resources away from focusing on your squishy light infantry.

Musk has posted around 1,300 times on X this year about immigration and voter fraud.

Yeesh. And that's just a couple topics. He knows he has other companies too, right?

I think they're just trying to set expectations as high as possible so that if they lose, then their accusations of cheating will sound more plausible, giving them more room to actually try to cheat the election.

I think this is less "sports fans destroy own city" and more "existing criminals take advantage of chaos to get away with crimes".

Personally I believe there is some responsibility on the massed, drunk sports fans to beat up and deter looters from taking advantage of their celebrations.

I actually sort of like this idea. People would still figure it out, of course, but it'd shift people's default attention from the person to the platform.

He doesn't gain much from pandering to his own supporters. There are still some people that are on the fence, not many, but a few. People that do believe in regulation cutting but also think the President should be a role model. This will probably tip a very small number of them, which matters in a close race.

That's a pretty slow "slicing through defenses" if you ask me...
