No I think only the Democratic Party primary is ranked choice.

I'll give them a tiny amount of slack in that they probably need to keep the question consistent over a long period of time (going back to at least 2001 according to this chart). But it is absolutely agree it's a totally chauvinist/jingo question.

There are so many premature victory laps for Mamdani right now. Cuomo still got 44% of the vote (ranked choice style). I think they can absolutely still get a win for Eric Adams.

still splitting it by the meaningless metric of political party

And they don't even show the "moderately proud", "only a little proud", or "not proud at all" lines.

Here's the actual June 2025 result

In other words, the chauvinism is still going strong. But who knows about the polling methodology.

I think Democrats care more about how it benefits their stock portfolio than political fundraising.

Only about 50 million out of 330 million people in the US are in school at any given moment. I also don't know what GDP per person has to do with anything.

I've heard that phrase before too and I sort of believe it. I think that includes the cost of school paid through taxes. And maybe general societal infrastructure. Probably not a very accurate number but I think it paints a good picture.

For example, I'm in Seattle so I looked up the current annual per-student budget and it's $26,292. 18 years of that it would be $468,000. So that's about an 8th of $4 million for school.

Obviously from that it wouldn't get all the way up to $4 million. But you get the idea.

But I feel like it's basically saying "it takes a village" in American everything-is-a-dollar-amount lingo.

Why are people suddenly using this phrase "crash out" so much. I heard it for the first time on TrueAnon a couple weeks ago.

Didn't he come to the US when he was seven?

except they didn't block the name of the company so I'd say mission failed. might as well be advertising for the billboard company.
