Any Klobachar will drop out of the race in order to give Biden a better chance on Super Tuesday. I hate that the party is going to try everything they can to fix this election for Biden. Progressives can’t ever get anything in this country. Thank the powers that be for California.

How about starting a new party then? :coffee:   Political parties split and form a new body all the time in the world. Why can't USA do that?

Because the super dysfunctional US election system punishes that party which splits first.

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/elections/EXT-INTERACTIVE-latest-polls-israel-election-2020-1.7695785  so it seems that the Likud will have 60-61 members who will join the coallition, the diffrence is big if it will stay the same 90% we will go again to another round and again only polls results and not the actual results.

it will be tense days here in Israel i will try to update if anything special will pop up

American voters in general are too lazy to give much of a thought to politics. Which is understandable given their "system" is very old and too established. Trump, Sanders or any politician are just decoration that can't change much, regardless of how "radical" their speeches may sound. It's the most fake democracy of any first world western country.

Americans think their democracy is the best in the world though? :dunno:

 

Don't know, but the problem is that we have a "prisoner's dilemma" here: Whoever moves first, loses (voters, power, posts etc)

None of the two big parties has an incentive to split as they know that they will lose all elections for sure if they do.

We don’t. Trust in the government, belief the vote matters, and economic satisfaction have all been the lowest they’ve in US history for the last decade or so.

    • Artistic Skating   women's Junior Inline Competition   Gold:  Macarena Pitto Gutiérrez Silver:  Clara Barattoni Bronze:  Sofia De Lazzari   men's Inline Competition   Gold:  Collin Motley Silver:  Chen Yi-Fan Bronze:  David Gutiérrez Bollaìn   Full Results https://www.worldskate.org/results/category/1389-artistic.html?download=6944:inline-senior-men   women's Inline Competition   Gold:  Paula Romaguera Pèrez Silver:  Sofia Ciacia Bronze:  Alessia Bilancioni   as usual, no news of the men's Junior event yet 
    • I'm getting mad!   I thought than here in Italy we had a chance to follow all the events properly, but that's not the case    Italian specialized websites only publish the results of the events where we get at least a medal, WS is late by days in their result section, all the disciplines have some kind of coverage, but some of them are basically amateur pictures, taking with a cell phone (inline slalom, for instance)   I'm very disappointed by the organization and also by the lack of interest in the Italian media...I mean, this is a global event, 15-day long and with many different disciplines....not only, it's one of our best chances to shine in the world of sport (we're basically guaranteed to dominate the medal table, grabbing medals left and right)    but world skate looks to be only interested in the Olympic skateboarding events, which also have a lot of coverage on the Olympic Channel website   personally, instead, i'm only interested in Inline Speedskating and men's Rink Hockey 
    • naaa...that's not sailing, you just can't do it when the waves are high...   however, the weather prediction isn't that good for the next weekend, so you might get even more than what you're asking for 
    • Not team ski cross     And that's coming from someone who absolutely loves watching the ski cross. Team ski cross just adds nothing at all. Whereas athletics relays make for an entirely different dynamic (a 4x100 is a very much different event than the 100m and results are entirely different than if you'd just add up everyone's 100m times), the team ski/snowboard cross is literally just two team members doing their runs back-to-back with no direct exchange or anything.   Just like the luge team event adds nothing at all  
    • Never saw this until now, but yeah… no thanks  (and this is coming from a massive volleyball fan, even para so)   I wouldn’t mind ice climbing, but there’s a couple sports and events (like FreeRide, telemark skiing, and team ski cross) that I’d probably add before. 
    • Oh absolutely, just trying to think of any somewhat valid reason not to score a run. My preference for sure would be to simply score all runs.
    • I would rather all runs be scored, honestly, regardless of the second point. 
    • It's been confirmed that Slovenia  will send only their u19/23 cyclists. So no world tour cyclists at these Euros for us. As for women only Bujak will compete in the pro division. 
    • If run one has a fall on the third hit and run two on the fourth hit, it's very much still in need of scoring both runs to see which one scores best. In terms of the overall, finishing 7th or 8th definitely makes a difference.   The only time a second run might not be scored is if run one was entirely clean (or at least didn't have a fall) and run two did have a fall.
    • Nobody really says that though, and definitely nobody wants that     Fact is, however, that more and more 'traditional' venues will leave the calendar because we as humanity as fucking up the climate.
