So here is the data.

Pic 1: Table of last 10 elections before 2024. For each election I record the percentage of swing states won by the winner vs his lead in the popular vote.

Reminder.
I systematically block everybody whose posts are configured as either or both of:
- no quote repost
- comment only by followers.

In the occurrence below it's both.

Irrespective of affinities.

I humbly recommend other bluesky users do the same.

When I finished writing this a couple of weeks ago, I didn't expect that the US would set out in its National Security Strategy how it could help Putin achieve his goals.
#Russia has made two failed attempts to get the West to accept a Russian sphere of influence in Eastern Europe by diplomatic means. Now #Putin is intent on creating a sphere of influence by force. 🇪🇺 🇺🇦

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”

Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?
