Yes, so much so that engineers receive training on how and when to use jargon vs lay people terms. Like multiple classes go over this

More like after Elon’s failed performance at the Trump rally, foreign “investors” pulled their money from Tesla

Yes, you should send to sister and let her discuss

Trying to have a secret relationship with your nieces is EXTREMELY creepy. Bypassing their mom’s wishes is creepy. Trying to control them is creepy.

Again, even if a vegan is spamming the word “vegan” in public spaces (which they almost never do like people joke about), it’s leagues better than racist slurs which society has just like, tolerated? In public spaces as being inevitable for several years, notably online and in games

Actual analyses done on this topic by Pew, Breugel, and National Affairs suggest this effect is largely not true. When considering the entire electorate, a significant number of non-voters lean Republican or are politically unaffiliated and would not support the democratic party.

Further research indicates that, despite popular belief, higher voter turnout does not consistently benefit either party across the board. Over the past 70 years, there has been no strong correlation between increases in turnout and the Democratic vote share in presidential or midterm elections.

I am not sure how to find this. I actually already looked at a Pew article earliee today and didn’t happen to see it there.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/07/12/voter-turnout-2018-2022/

I’ll link it again and look through it again to see if it’s there.

Further, your second point is lacking any source including an author.

Last, whatever source you’re quoting specifically important because I’m highly curious what the verbiage actually is. There is a world of difference between someone who “leans” Republican versus someone who will never vote Democrat.

Eta, from above Pew source:

Adults who voted in at least one election during the period divide evenly between Democrats and independents who lean toward the Democratic Party or Republicans and Republican-leaning independents in their current party affiliation (48% each). The subset who voted in all three elections are similarly divided (49% Democrats, 50% Republicans). Citizens who did not vote in any of the three tilt Republican by 46% to 41%.

Reflecting these patterns, Republicans won a majority of votes among those who said they voted in person on Election Day, 60% to 38%. Democrats won – by an identical margin – voters who said they voted by mail or absentee ballot. Those who said they voted in person before Election Day were divided: 53% supported Republican candidates, while 46% voted for Democratic candidates.

Perhaps if Dems were able to pass easier mail in voting or better legislation generally, people would be more likely to vote for them

You know, vegans get a lot of hate for telling everyone they are vegan, yet I’ve never heard a vegan doing this and yelling about veganism. It’s almost like racists are so much more violent and outspoken about it, including in kid’s game lobbies and now with fucking vacuums. I have never seen vegans yell “VEGAN!” online repeatedly… and even if they did, that’s substantially less harm anyway than racist bullshit. I never want to hear people complain about vegans talking about veganism ever again when this shit is part of everyday society and not surprising at all.

And ps I am not vegan.

Hmm, it looks like i got confused by this statistic:

Overall, 70% of U.S. adult citizens who were eligible to participate in all three elections between 2018 and 2022 voted in at least one of them, with about half that share (37%) voting in all three.

https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2023/07/12/voter-turnout-2018-2022

Which says the national average voter turnout for all 3 elections is 37%. The actual national average turnout for any individual election is about 46-66% depending on if it’s a midterm or not. Since this one is not a midterm election, assuming 50% of Christians are voting, this gives non-Christians an advantage.

Yeah it’s probably natural to throw up after you smell the first 10 people’s vomit :(
