Joe Manchik's Green Party vote in #OH12 dropped by 92% between 2016 and tonight. NINETY-TWO PERCENT. This is a huge deal.
The Green Party vote in #OH12 dropped off a cliff tonight. The huge bulk of 2016 Green Party voters in the district pulled the lever for O'Connor.
Tonight's Green Party vote in #OH12 is a tiny group, and most of them aren't winnable as Dem votes under any circumstances. If you're a Dem, don't fret over them. They're not fungible. Let them go.
And not for nothing, but this is also why I keep saying there's no point in yelling about 2016 Green Party voters in 2018. Most of them have already decided to vote Dem this fall.
In case you missed it last night, here's the TLDR: #OH12 indicates that the Green Party vote is plummeting. Remaining Green voters aren't readily gettable by Dems. Don't worry about them, work on turnout instead.

Louis CK tries to book a set. Club owner says yes, then reads up in detail on what he did, reaches out to friends and a CK victim for advice, and cancels the gig. jezebel.com/the-owner-of-o…
And yes, the club owner is a woman.
One thing about this story: It doesn't surprise me at all that she didn't know the specifics of the allegations when CK reached out. Not everyone follows the details of stories like this, even in their own industry.

A weird tack for a guy whose whole pitch is his elder-statesman avuncularity to take. "I don't want to run, but all the kids in the race are crap, so here I am" is the opposite of the tone I'd have expected him to set.
Just a reminder that his instincts for primary-race messaging have never been any good, I guess.
"We have a great, deep field, and I'm honored to be running alongside this crew. Whichever of us wins the nomination would be a far better president than Trump, and if it's not me, I'll be working night and day to be sure they get to prove it" is Biden's natural lane right now.

One more thing on youth voting: There are a lot of folks in my mentions saying kids aren’t cognitively developed enough to vote. But it’s not clear to me what that means.
At 12, the typical kid is more than able to meet baseline standards for voting—understanding what an election is, learning about candidates, managing the act of voting.
When we bar kids from making choices they’re not mature enough to make, it’s generally because we’re worried that they’ll do harm to themselves or others if allowed to choose.

This is a good article, talking about problems that we have to, that the GOP won't and that we CAN fix! But first, just #Vote damnit!

The Myth of the Lazy Nonvoter
nyti.ms/2CvoRaT
2/"If history is any indicator, only around 40 percent of eligible voters will vote in the midterm elections. Most people assume that voter turnout remains this low because Americans are apathetic and simply don’t want to vote. But it’s more likely that most Americans do want to

Here's Joe Manchik, the Green Party candidate who will probably make sure that #OH12 goes to an R who doesn't believe in science instead of a D who does.

He believes his ancestors come from a different planet.

(No, I'm not kidding.)
As I was saying...the Green Party candidate in #OH12 who might be the spoiler for the Dem in the race believes that his family comes from a different planet.

Great job, y'all. Way to vet your candidates. 🙄🙄🙄

41) 1,244 of the emails reference NUCLEAR ENERGY. The full collection includes emails to/from Hillary Clinton.

April '15 NYT published story about a company called “#UraniumOne” which was sold to Russian government-controlled interests, giving Russia effective control
42) of one-fifth of ALL uranium production capacity in the United States.

Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, w/implications for production of nuclear weapons, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of US govt agencies.

Someone labeled #QAnon a #conspiracytheory

It's not.

I can objectively show more than once what @realDonaldTrump was about to tweet before he did it and also show coordination between Q and the DOD, and Q and @JulianAssange.

Huge events are happening, it's time to awaken.
2) in addition, while it's still being uncovered, there are deeply coded messages within @realDonaldTrump tweets. The specific intentions behind all of this are many, but one vital one is to specifically prevent #conspiracytheories from being concocted.
3) Another reason disclosure is self evident, it's a public disclosure. It so happens that the disclosures are happening in a location where the user base is sufficiently #redpilled to accept the #truths -they are a bit tough to take for #normies
