Economics doesn't come naturally to the human mind. And it's not just a left-wing thing. Notice that the vast majority of conservative voters also dislike dynamic pricing.

Election discourse can unfortunately bring out the worst in some people. If polls don’t favor your candidate, it’s not right to take that frustration out on dedicated individuals who are working hard to provide quality coverage for free.

This is a turnout operation that is entirely alien to those of us in solid red/blue states. You'd never see something like this in LA county. A nation wide popular vote would completely change the game.

The empty chair gimmick wouldn’t land here. You can’t just come up with your own debate and claim the other party didn’t show up.

This is also why adding labor supply doesn’t increasing housing prices in a healthy market. Yes, people need homes but they also build homes.

If a bakery closed 2 1/2 months after the lockdowns started it was never going to survive the pandemic. It's objectively bad that businesses failed but to say red and blue state governors didn't have very similar policies at the time is revisionist.

The polls are so close I fear that whatever the result is pollsters will face backlash for being “wrong” again.

For context they allegedly knew they were accepting millions in shadow money to profess specific pro-Russian opinions on their shows. Outside of this being a violation of journalistic ethics, there is a base level of suspicion any individual would have in this scenario.
