I don’t trust the official polls related to the 2020 primary so I have been looking at Twitter data. While users on Twitter may not match voting demographics, it certainly paints a different picture. If retweets can be taken as a vote of support then this is the current ranking.
This is a graph of Tulsi’s retweets per tweet over time compared to her polling data over a similar time. Clearly something does not add up. It is just one poll, but she seems to be consistently hovering around 1% in every poll.

Source of the poll: morningconsult.com/2020-democrati…
Before Mayor Pete’s town hall yesterday, Tulsi was ahead of everyone else (over last 2 weeks) which is more impressive when you consider she has just a fraction of their followers. I’m sure people within the DNC are looking at this data too, and they are probably getting worried.
For comparison, these are the same graphs for Buttigieg. They at least look somewhat correlated.

1. You are probably not going to find anything like this in the MSM. This is an analysis of recent tweets by 2020 presidential candidates to see who is the most controversial based on their reply to like ratio. The winners are @BilldeBlasio, @HowardSchultz, and @SenGillibrand.
2. It is generally accepted that if your tweet gets a lot more replies than other engagements (likes, retweets) you said something pretty controversial, and people do not agree. @MerriamWebster is even looking into adding “ratioed” to the dictionary.

merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/…
3. What is amazing is how the median ratio for @BilldeBlasio’s tweets is over 1. This means the majority of his tweets have more replies than likes. The sample size is only 44, but he is clearly not very popular, and it is somewhat baffling that he decided to run for president.

1. These are the “Foreign Policy” scores of the 2020 Democratic candidates according to @FP4America. Notice how @TulsiGabbard, the only candidate pushing for world peace, is rated at the bottom.
2. I’m sure it is just a coincidence that @JeremyBenAmi, one of the group’s directors, previously served in the Clinton white house.
3. It’s not as if the Clintons have anything against @TulsiGabbard or anything. 🙄

1. A tale of two pictures. Media treatment of @PeteButtigieg vs. @TulsiGabbard.
2. If it is not obvious to people yet, I hope this thread will wake some people up to what is going on. The establishment and their friends in the media want Pete Buttigieg to be the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate.
3. Look at some of the words the media uses when talking about Buttigieg: sunshine, rising, star, ascent, boost, boom, hottest, surge. They continue to make comparisons to Obama.

On to the library funding poll. Mayor Jones reminds council that the discussion is NOT about the ballot measure, or their opinions on it.
Something I didn't see in the memo: 500 phone surveys were conducted, and 1,031 online. It was in and around Boulder, including Niwot, Gunbarrel and the mountain communities.
This is a REALLY long presentation. 41 slides! Egads.

A little thread, which I may come back to, for all those #technophobes who blame rise in #suicide on #socialmedia.

First: legit, what rise?
Second: The actual experts do not agree with you, and your fear-mongering is likely causing more harm than good.
cf. Thomas, K, and Gunnell, D. (2010). Suicide in England and Wales 1861–2007: a time-trends analysis. International Journal of Epidemiology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2010, Pages 1464–1475.
So, first the data, from #UK (above) and elsewhere (below).

Clearly if this epidemic was *caused* by a *single* factor it would permeate all societies with social media.

THREAD.

1/ I was looking through twitter today and saw how much people mistrust forecasts of the election. We are pretty bad at thinking probabilistically and it seems as if once a candidate is somewhere over 60% we default to assuming they are 100% to win
2/ so if they lose we declare the forecast (or the polls) wrong! This is, of course, aided and abetted by a lot of pundits. It’s very frustrating because I am not sure how we can fix the problem.
3/ Certainty is what people want. They don’t want to hear that one candidate is 25% and the other 75%. They want to know for sure. And the pundits are often more than happy to give them what they want, offering more certainty than the data offers.

1. This is an incredibly smart, data-driven snapshot of the transformation of the Democratic Party by @emmaogreen, built on data from a new @TheAtlantic/@PRRIpoll survey: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@emmaogreen @TheAtlantic @PRRIpoll 2. The huge surge of engagement and enthusiasm is centered on religiously unaffiliated Democrats—for these voters, partisan affiliation helps center their identity in the way that perhaps ethnicity or religion once did: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
@emmaogreen @TheAtlantic @PRRIpoll 3. The enthusiasm and anger of religiously unaffiliated voters have helped narrow the usual midterm gap for Democrats, but may do even more to transform the party than to shape the midterm results: theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

NIGERIA DURING THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE (Part 2)

THE EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE YORUBA PEOPLE, AND HOW YORUBA OBA'S, CHIEFS AND YORUBA ELITES SOLD THEIR FELLOW YORUBAS DURING THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE ERA:
During the 19th century of the Transatlantic slave trade, Yoruba territory was known as the Slave Coast.
Uncounted numbers of Yoruba men, women and children were sold by their Tribesmen,and were shipped bounded in Chains at the Neck, Leg & Hands,to Portugal, Britain, Americas etc
The demand for African slaves during the slave trade was fuelled by the availability of a supply chain which involved African rulers, tradesmen/women who made fortunes out of selling their own people.
Unfortunately, so many Yoruba Elites got Wealthy through this Nefarious Trade.
