#voting pattern

[indizombie]

Pre-poll surveys, exit polls, and analyses of election results emerging from Karnataka have all made it apparent that the highest preference for the right-leaning BJP – which, at least symbolically, frowns upon freebies – was shown by the wealthiest and most educated segment. Preference for the left-leaning Congress and JD(S) – which campaigned on the plank of welfare schemes – increase as we proceed to the poorer and less educated segments. Three of the four districts in Karnataka where the BJP managed to win a majority of the Assembly seats are Bengaluru Urban (16/28), Dakshina Kannada (6/8), and Udupi (5/5), districts that constantly top the Human Development Index and per-capita income rankings in the state, statistics that indicate a higher concentration of the rich. Everywhere else, the Congress and the JD-S won a majority of the seats. This dissonance in the voting pattern can be attributed, at least in part, to the increasing inequality between the rich and the rest, in Karnataka and across India.

We somehow lost 11 million votes since 2020 and Chump somehow gained 12 million since 2016.

🤔🤦🏾🤦

C’mon man…every poll, odds maker, every exit interview, every single indicator showed Harris either ahead or dead even. Plus Trump spent months telling his people not to vote because he didn’t need them as he already had enough to win. Something’s fishy.

one of the most despondent results is the local loss of democrat iwen chu in ny state senate seat 17 to republican stephen chan. chu lost primarily because of concerns about a crime wave that empirically does not exist, and opposition to a homeless shelter over fears it would increase crime (they don't; a homeless shelter would in fact decrease crime and aggressive interactions)

As exemplified by the posts below, @ casanova-lives's mama did indeed raise a stupid fuck. Glad OP is at least aware of this.

And as a bonus, the person I found their blog through (accidentally, because their url raised a red flag), @pattern-recognition

Stalin pictures, holodomor denial, komsomolka, zvaigzdelasas, and pro Russian propaganda: classic combination.
