> In a district where 92 percent of people voted for Kamala Harris, fury and despair have arguably never been better business. In Washington, D.C., ‘rage rooms’—facilities where customers can pay a modest fee to take out their frustrations on helpless plates, cups, and glass bottles—have enjoyed a noticeable uptick in demand since Donald Trump’s victory in the election last week.
> The decadeslong U.S. embargo against Cuba rolled on, hitting the Cuban people first and foremost. During the pandemic, this sanctions regime led to severe food and medical shortages on the island. People left in droves.
Since 2020, Cuba has seen the largest exodus in its entire history. Over 1 million people left between 2022 and 2023 alone as a result of the economic crisis.
And they came to the U.S.
Cuba became one facet of an immigration debate in the U.S. that took a central role in the presidential election.
As to how we construct stochastic models: in a similar way that we construct deterministic ones. By finding all the variables, identifying the fundamental elements, and doing our best to understand the dependencies and relationships between them. We can't perform controlled experiments on the weather and we can't repeat an election. But many sciences are observational, e.g. geology and astronomy. That doesn't stop us making theories. We have theories of stellar evolution, but they are probabilistic and the evolution of any given star is unrepeatable.
According to the US law, the vice president could succeed to the presidency without need of election if the current one dies.
Thus, could Kamala Harris become president if Joseph Biden dies, even though Donald Trump has won the election?
Then what would happen to Donald Trump's presidency?

The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution states that:
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice
There are currently four living former Presidents who have been elected twice and could therefore attempt to breach this limit (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack O...
Are you suggesting that it is all right to lose the election owing to far-left views, because some people having those far-left views will help protect the state against Trump during his term?
"Convincing the general population of voters" won't achieve much right now, given we have two years until the next election that could actually affect anything.
It's probably best if those Times columnists don't spend too long insulting progressive activists; they may have harmed Kamala's election campaign, but at present I guarantee you that they'll be the only ones leading any substantive "resistance" to awful Trump policies.
@GratefulDisciple You might as well ask the Democratic party to contribute to Trump's election campaign and run Trump's ads on the media they control. At least one instance took a lawsuit to be allowed to do research, period, never mind getting a grant for it.
4B (or "Four Nos") is a gender critical, radical feminist movement.
The movement originated in South Korea during the late 2010s. Its proponents refuse to date, get married, have sex, or have children with cisgender men or transgender women. The movement upholds gender essentialism and is opposed to transgender rights movements, seeing it as a form of patriarchy linked to the oppression of women.
Interest in the 4B movement increased internationally after the re-election of Donald Trump in the 2024 United States presidential election.

> In Western Europe, many see America’s presidential election this year not as a battle between left and right, liberal and conservative, high and low taxes, but something more like a soccer game between a midranking team and a herd of stampeding buffalo. Sure, the buffalo might win — but not by playing soccer.
> Galloway said Trump went "all-in" on aggressive messaging to young men with promises to put more money in their pockets and get them out of their parents' homes.
"Boy, it resonated," he said. "This was kind of the simply put, I would argue, this was more the testosterone election than it was a referendum on bodily autonomy."
> Donald Trump has failed to meet one of his highest-profile pre-election promises—when the war in Ukraine will end. “I would fix that within 24 hours. And, if I win, before I get into the office, I will have that war settled. A hundred percent sure,” Trump said on Hannity in 2023. It’s been over 48 hours since Trump won the presidential election, and there’s no end in sight for the conflict.
> Andrés Manuel López Obrador will leave office in September 2024, concluding his popular—and controversial—six-year tenure at the National Palace. Riding on a wave of progressive achievements that include a minimum wage hike and reducing income inequality, his Morena party successor, Claudia Sheinbaum, is forecast to win the June 2 election by between 25 and 30 percent.
On the eve of the European parliamentary election on June 09, 2024, French president Macron called a snap election for the National Assembly. It was held three/four weeks later. (First round on June 30, second round July 7.)

My week was AMAZING (aside from--no, including--how I spent like an hour sobbing uncontrollably over something that was believe it or not completely unrelated to the election on Tuesday) and still insanely boring in comparison
They had a GBM that night that someone dragged me along to, they were making fun of our fence design and blaming the election loss on stupid stuff and I was so tired of it
Germany has a unique way of dissolving parliament. If the chancellor loses a vote of confidence, the president can dissolve the Bundestag within 21 days, which would lead to elections within 60 days.
Given that the Bundespräsident could dissolve the Bundestag immediately after the vote of confide...
@M.A.R. compared to the mega million dollars from everyone else? No the point was about 'effect every election a lot'. Which the data show it doesn't and this year even moreso.
> This isn’t just about Democrats winning or losing one election, and the path forward isn’t through consultant-speak or focus groups or placing blame on our marginalized communities who do not feel heard or included — but in bold, clear policies that speak to people’s real lives and create lasting change in American communities.
