Really, can someone actually help Kanye? This is pretty sad here. Like Kardashians, can y’all do an intervention here.
Also, he’s not entirely wrong about the music industry… Courtney Love called it modern day sharecropping.
“ The poll found Biden up 6 percentage points, 52%-46%, among likely voters in Wisconsin. The state had not backed a Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan before Trump won it by just under 23,000 votes in 2016. In Minnesota, which hasn’t broken for the GOP candidate since 1972, the poll found Biden up a whopping 16% with likely voters, 57%-41%.“
Relevant to current happenings, as well as several arguments on here recently:
Ok, I guess we don’t link to Beau anymore. Worth checking out. If you are familiar with his “bus analogy,” regarding going in the same direction but getting off at different points. He broadens that to buses going to the same place but taking different roads. Good info.
“ WASHINGTON—In a year dominated by a deadly virus, racial unrest and tumultuous news cycles, the presidential race remains remarkably stable, with former Vice President Joe Biden maintaining his lead over President Trump, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll shows.
Some 51% of registered voters nationally say they would vote for Mr. Biden if the election were held today, while 43% back Mr. Trump. That 8-point lead remains largely unchanged from a month ago, when Mr. Biden had a 9-point advantage, and compares with an 11-point Biden lead in July. Mr. Biden has led Mr. Trump by 6 points or more all year.”
with his own words. beautiful.
- Minnesota : A CBS/YouGov poll show Biden winning white voters by 2 points after Trump won them by 7 points in 2018, according to exit polling. The state still went for Hillary Clinton by 1.5 points.
- Wisconsin : An ABC/Washington Post poll found Trump losing non-college white women to Biden by 9 points after he took them by 16 points in 2016. Trump won the Badger State by less than 1 point.
- Pennsylvania : An NBC/Marist poll showed Biden tying Trump among white voters after Trump won them by 16 points in 2016. Trump also won that state by less than a percentage point.
Maciej Cegłowski has written about effective political giving, i.e. how to maximize the political bang for whatever you can or want to donate. He gives several pieces of advice, but the one I found most eye-opening was on the importance of giving to downballot races.
This is why I’m an advocate of indirect giving. If you want to support Biden or the Senate campaigns, find underfunded Congressional, state and local candidates running in districts those big campaigns need to win. Downballot candidates target groups of voters that may be invisible to the bigger campaigns, but whose vote will help them in November.
Consider that in a state house campaign, where the voter universe may be a few thousand people, it’s not unheard of for the candidate to have met every voter individually.
…
When it comes to state races, Republicans still run circles around us. In Florida, state house races have struggled with a 5:1 fundraising disparity even as Federal races are roughly at parity. Republicans often have the support of local businesses and chambers of commerce, and run wealthy candidates who have a large fundraising network.

This is very big news.
He’s paying off court costs and fines for people that prevents them from voting.
32,000 disenfranchised voters can now vote.
Good on Bloomberg for doing this.
I don’t even care that he’s doing this for all the wrong reasons (defeat 45, no matter the cost), this is great news!
Now, if he’d spend money lobbying any state that indefinitely strips felons of voting rights to change their laws, it would be amazing news!
No questions about tax returns and special relationships with Russian autocrats?
This is great, but didn’t a court decision say that the State has no obligation to actually let felons know exactly how much they owed, and if they voted while owning money that they weren’t aware of it would be a felony? How does Bloomberg know how much to pay for everyone?
not only that but republican governor de santis has asked for legislation that legalizes running over protestors, strips state money from localities which attempt to reform policing in any way, and attach rico penalties to anyone who participates in a protest at which anyone other than the police use violence, even if the violent participants aren’t even part of the group holding the protest.
not even texas or idaho can quite match florida for sheer range of bizarro flair.
I suggest a new moto for Florida: “Fuck your ‘Constitution’”
I’m fairly sure he’ll have teams of lawyers taking care of that.
Or he can just hire Palantir to get everyone’s records and shoe size. 
Why would Putin agree to questions about Russian autocrats? I think you’re forgetting who wears the pants around here…
