No waiting, but common courtesy on spoiler warnings is 6 months.
If someone isn’t caught up after 6 months, then they aren’t genuinely interested enough to be spoiled.
2·22 hours agoOh, he already is, despite not being in office and having zero powers of negotiating. Something, something… “the strength of winning the election” something.
I agree! At most this shows 6 million stayed home, not 19. You could increase it to 9 million if you assume the Trump +3 million was a flip instead of staying home.
Oh, definitely, the participation in vote by mail states is roughly double states where voting in person is the only option.
Substantially worse, but not 19 million worse.
Trump was +3 million, Harris was -6.
Millions more had the option available to them with no restriction due to Covid.
Substack blogs are not news.
From the election Wikis:
2020 - Biden 81,283,501 Trump 74,223,975
Total - 155,507,4762024 - Trump 77,303,573 Harris 75,019,257
Total - 152,322,830The numbers for 2020 were artifically inflated due to increased vote by mail usage due to the pandemic.
From that inflated number, the overall count was down 3 million, but Harris only dropped 6 million from Biden’s numbers, not 18.
Problem, the number they quote of 19 million people who voted for Biden staying home is a bullshit number:
2012 - Obama 65,915,795 Romney 60,933,504
Total - 126,849,2992016 - Trump 62,984,828 Clinton 65,853,514

From that inflated number, the overall count was down 3 million, but Harris only dropped 6 million from Biden’s numbers, not 18.
The biggest reason is that voter turnout wasn’t repressed, the 2020 turnout was artificially inflated by emergency vote by mail rules due to the pandemic.

Well, they started blocking aid in the 90s so…
Yup! There are various angles on fuckery here. I’m hopeful, but not expecting much.
I get it, people just need to be aware that there’s no quality control on Substack. Anyone can post anything there, even if (as this case) it’s completely off base.
I’m hopeful as the prime minister of Qatar is making it sound like a done deal, but we’ll see!
FTA:
“Any agreement must be approved by Netanyahu’s Cabinet.”
So be prepared for the whole thing to fall apart still. In theory the vote will be Thursday.
Israel apparently has not yet fully approved the deal, so hold on to your hats for now!
Vote is apparently on Thursday.

This is exactly why we don’t allow substack blogs as top level posts.
Removed, not politics.
