It's not like "our RAF" is completely unknown outside of Germany or is it? Sorry, if so. Anyhow, is there's anything comparable to those groups in the US? Like the columbian ELN, marxist kurds or parts of the IRA back in the day? If Bernie and AOC are your "radical left", be glad and carry on. If Biden is your "radical left", you need to educate yourself. Amen. Aye, that said it would be kind of awesome to have some 100 year old dude browsing TL and chuckling at Unimpressed Flash. As to your question, for whatever reason I don’t think such groups in Germany, or indeed their Italian equivalents back in the day are at all well-known. I’m pass-familiar, especially the latter via my interests in the culture of Italian football and ultra culture. So the Red Brigades and that kind of thing. There’s tons of interesting history all over the place that just isn’t well-known at all, even relatively contemporary events. In this country at least FARC were hard to avoid knowing about given links to the IRA, and ETA there are romantic nationalist parallels to be drawn to the Irish example. | ||

Conclude that Florida votes for the best candidate because the best candidate changes. Assumption 1 is invalid but even if it wasn’t the evidence would just as easily support the conclusion that Florida always supports the worst candidate. It’s just bad logic. All I said is we are willing to vote for different candidates regardless of party. Not sure why there is so much to read into it. Jacksonville went blue for our most recent ex-mayor. He promised a lot, but in fact hurt the city a lot. Our current mayor has done a great job. When he's done, I'll be looking at who I believe will do the job well, not for the next republican running for mayor. I'm thankful that the city was willing to chose a new mayor instead of repeatedly picking the same guy. If you only look at Presidents elected from Florida, then you are ignoring that I mentioned city and state candidates and issues too. I would hate to be a dark blue or red state that never has a change in hand for governors and mayor or always votes one side of the issue. If I was on the losing side in those states, I would feel like my vote is pointless. I like having highly contested issue where we challenge each other to bring the best arguments and convince each other of the issues.

I stated in my post I am from Florida and am happy to live in a state with mixed ballots. I brought it up because the post I quoted mentioned Florida so I thought I'd share my view as a resident. | ||

I think it is important to repeat this. While there might be some leftwing terrorist acts (still less than rightwing terrorist acts or religious terrorist acts), leftwing terrorism tends to target things, while rightwing and religious terrorism tends to target humans. Those graphs seen above become even more lopsided if you look at people killed by x terrorism type instead. | ||

Does it mean anything if this accurate? | ||

He’s been laying the ground work for disputing the result based on this for months. That’s what the constant tweets about mail in fraud are about. He knew he would lose those, the plan was always to invalidate them. | ||

There's really nothing to be learned about vote gaps this early: Democrats also tend to vote later in the day. They tend to be younger, meaning two things : 1. They get up later than the elderly. 2. They tend to not be retired and have to vote after work. | ||
