Julie Hughes<p>Hey <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.xyz/@CNNNetwork" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>CNNNetwork</span></a></span> Your new "Data Guru" needs a math refresher. Trump's margin of victory was less than 1.62 percent -- so if 2% of voters regret voting for him and would now vote for Harris and 5% of Trump voters indicate they would just stay home if the vote were today -- that would likely be an epic democratic landslide. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/DoBetter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DoBetter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/uspoltics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspoltics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/CNN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CNN</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/cnns-data-guru-reveals-how-many-trump-supporters-regret-their-vote/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">thedailybeast.com/cnns-data-gu</span><span class="invisible">ru-reveals-how-many-trump-supporters-regret-their-vote/</span></a></p>
Tim W RESISTS<p>Dear sci-fi authors,</p><p>Pay attention to your units! Nothing rips me out of a story like it taking minutes to travel "10 klicks" (which you have not defined separately from the well known slang for kilometers) while DEcelerating to at most 999 m/s.
