I would’ve said no until Jon Ralston said that all of the D house incumbents were in trouble. He doesn’t usually raise the alarm for no reason and clearly thinks that Dems are losing ground in NV, and it was already a close state to begin with.

As of now this is probably a pure tossup (I.e. that Rs win one of these districts).

This. Tbh Democrats might have screwed themselves over by spreading their votes so thin...it's a house of cards...one big red wave and a 4-0 R House delegation is hardly impossible (maybe not this year, but then in 2026 if Biden pulls off a win).

By that point the House is long gone most likely.

Yea, this is why it’s kind of dumb comparing it to Iowa. If Democrats are losing Clark County then they’re already screwed.

is this like David Duke complaining that the NAACP isn't focusing on Africa?

Except AIPAC is explicitly focused on Israel, the NAACP is explicitly focused on African AMERICANS.

yeah, I realized the easy come back when I typed it, still, it was too good to pass up (and I couldn't come up with a better one)

Upside-down flag is the universal symbol of distress. It has also (ironically) reportedly been used as a protest against the decision that overturned Roe v Wade. I know the date and time of when the flag was flown matters, but this is ridiculous.

It was also common after Trump was elected in 2016.

No

Well, New Zealand would have been the objectively correct answer (of the options given, anyway) until about forty years ago, and many stereotypes have not really caught up.

So what would the answer be today in your opinion?

As frodo said if this is true this would effect Virgina and North Carolina to the donald greatly
And this would probably seal Michigan and Pennsylvania to Trump and would cause many blue states to grey a bit, basically Biden probably praying to God that trump isn't making inroad with Minorities and especially African-Americans because if he is than this would certainly mean trump will win 2024 or make the election very very close.

[Stivers agreed violated his fourth amendment rights.Stivers ruled that there was no reasonable suspicion of criminal activity that justified detaining Lea beyond the traffic infraction investigation.]

Settlement reached in traffic stop lawsuit where former LMPD officer violated teen's rights

 The LMPD officer then frisked and handcuffed Lea while his vehicle was searched by K-9 and officers. Nothing illegal was found inside the car and he was issued a citation for the improper turn.

The lawsuit, filed in 2019, argues Crawford unlawfully conducted a pat-down search of Lea, prolonging the traffic stop beyond its initial purpose, which Stivers agreed violated his fourth amendment rights.

Stivers ruled that there was no reasonable suspicion of criminal activity that justified detaining Lea beyond the traffic infraction investigation.

As part of the ruling, the judge dismissed the lawsuit against other officers named in the suit.

Officials said the city is ordered to pay $375,000 to Lea -- with his attorney confirming the settlement amount to WHAS11 News on Friday morning.

 Bumping this to show how slowly the wheels of justice turn even when people face clear violations of their rights. Thankfully for this young man the interaction was filmed and he wasn't baited or enraged by the dumb officer that was clearly violating his rights and trying to antagonize him.

So wait, am I right in assessing that basically the entirety of the collapse of BC United is because of the name change?

LOL

Sort of gives me vibes of IA map last decade. IA map last decade wasn't a gerrymander (it was court drawn iirc) but Obama won 3/4 congressional districts but all flipped to Trump in 2016 and Dems struggled to hold them throughout the decade.

Yeah, exactly. It was visually pleasing and very compact, and of course it wasn't drawn with any intent to gerrymander, but by the end of the decade the effect it really had was to crack up all the sources of Democratic strength in eastern Iowa...it's actually very easy to draw a comfortably Democratic seat if you keep the Quad Cities area united, and it's not un-compact, either. Likewise, although the map looked nice, it cracked up the Des Moines area by drowning Polk/Dallas with heavily red rurals and putting Story County in an even redder seat.

Iowa City and Cedar Rapids aren't considered part of the Quad Cities.

North Carolina and Virginia would also be heavily affected.  Trump could potentially be the first Republican since George W. Bush to win all of the former Confederacy, and nearly all of the slave states in existence in 1860 -if this was real.

Which makes me think about Mississippi as well, not because it is competitive at the national level, but because the racial polarization in the state is pretty much the only reason Democrats remain remotely competitive at the state level, while it presents a hard ceiling for the Mississippi Democratic Party-and a hard floor for Democratic presidential candidates.
