Not a huge deal when compared to the last primary for a incumbent democrat president getting similar enough results.

For reference in 2012 with Obama, who had no opponents in the primary, got ~11% undecided in around 195,000 votes.

Whereas Biden got 13.2% undecided, while facing Dean Philips and Marianne Williamson, with way more voters with 760,000+ this time.

So, a difference of ~2%-2.5% with conditions not related to the protest boosting those numbers. Not much to write home about I would say, but something Biden still has to focus on to help himself regardless.

Doesn't really mean much considering most would probably vote for for Biden anyway, seeing how this is more of a protest vote and Trump being the challenger again. And Trump being worse for not just Gaza but women's rights, trans people, and the general state of Democracy in this country.

LET'S GO!!!

Is helping a specific group of people discrimination? Even when it's focused on race?

I don't think so, especially if it's based on other factors like past historical events and continued consequences of that.

If it was putting a race over another it would be. Like if a scholarship rated Native Americans above Caucasians through a score to see how likely they would receive it.

Though I would admit affirmative action always gave me mixed feelings.

What explains negativity about a good economy? Partisanship is surely a factor: Republicans’ assessment of the current economy roughly matches what it was in June 1980, when unemployment was twice as high and inflation four times as high as they are now. Beyond that, the events of the past few years — not just inflation and higher interest rates but also the disruption Covid caused to everyone’s lives, and perhaps the sense that America is coming apart politically — may have engendered a sourness, an unwillingness to acknowledge good news even when it happens.

Interesting option from the article.

So, it might be more "everything is falling apart or not the same" type of thinking. Could explain it and wouldn't surprise me.

Everything does seem different after COVID at least. Things don't feel the same even years after.

Paywall.

But that is very weird if people think they are fine, but somehow others aren't and the economy isn't. At least enough to say that.

What? I thought we were having a conversation.

Oh well. Vaccinate your kids boys and girls. Chau~

Still all no.

I didn't say there was negligible difference or was talking about big pharma.

If a childhood chickenpox vaccination programme was introduced, people would not catch chickenpox as children because the infection would no longer circulate in areas where the majority of children had been vaccinated.
This would leave unvaccinated children susceptible to getting chickenpox as adults, when they're more likely to develop a more severe infection or a secondary complication.

So, basically get chicken pox earlier to build immunity, regardless if it makes you more susceptible to shingles, to better protect you from shingles as an adult. Since it is more likely to hurt you as an adult versus as a kid.

Sill seems fine to still vaccinate as that would lower the amount of chickenpox floating around to begin with...

Both options seem reasonable to me, although I would lean on vaccination still.

Your guess is as good as mine… it is Russia after all. Things just don’t make sense over there.

Beans! It's all beans! Oh god!
