Latinos aren't a monolith. They don't vote like a monolith. The article gets close to realizing that, but falls short. At the end of the day Latinos vote R for the same reason White people do.

Nah that bill is pretty bunk and hopefully it gets thrown out super quick. My point is more that the things advocated for in these protests are pretty vile and heartless.

Isn't that something he normally admits to (or at least he did back when he was with 538). That the value of the "Horse race" election reporting was essentially nil as long as the percentage of undecided voters was greater than the margin (+error) between the candidates.

I don't think that feature exists yet.

But more inquisitively why do you dislike Silver? He's generally been the "gold standard" when it comes to data driven political analysis.

This is Nate Silver, his takes are essentially always more nuanced and data driven than that. I'd expect some random MSNBC/CNN talking head to say that; not Silver.

"Implementing"

Probably the latter. Almost nothing that sucked today sucked less 20, 40, 60, 80 etc... years ago. They almost universally sucked more. We're just more aware.

For example, cops have always been beating black people; but that wasn't common knowledge for most until recently.

Not just for a sociopath. Anti-air is expensive (table with some options. A patriot cost like $3M/pop. If a missile was going to hit an uninhabited area choosing not to intercept makes sense.

That's why DARPA keeps working on DEWs.

It's a reasonable question to ask.
