the phrase "basic dni criteria" is so funny to me whenever i see it in someone's bio. both the assumption that everyone knows what that means, and the assumption that like a neonazi or whatever will see that and go "ah jeez i better not pester this person, it'd violate their DNI"

I mean that’s my baseline assumption here but to even be in “polls are wildly off” territory here is nuts

His only mistake of the campaign was the assumption that Fox viewers can read.

Also this assumption I guess depends on "well the special elections were like that for other reasons. the shy Trump voter wasn't real for those, but they're real for November"

Based on lived experience, “Home prices never go down” was a perfectly reasonable assumption in 2005.

the assumption, basically, is that the shy trump voter is out there, he doesn’t want to talk to them, and he is going to show up to vote on Election Day
and, look, we all have 2016/2024 PTSD
maybe they’re right
but what if they aren’t?

This has been my assumption all day. I think on balance this will help him, though I suspect it won’t matter either way for the result. Even Dems I’ve spoken to who were lukewarm on AES are now hyped to vote for him since they’re so angry about this.
🚨BACKFIRE OF THE YEAR?
Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign says it raised a staggering $1.2 MILLION in just four hours after Haley Stevens endorsed Mike Rogers.
Turns out betraying Democratic voters has consequences.
Now turn that anger into votes. Show up. Bring friends. Make a plan. Vote Abdul El-Sayed.

Built my own forecasting model for the midterms and even with an assumption of republican overperforming the polls by 1.7 points, the Dems are a lock for taking the house and very likely to take the senate.

There’s a common assumption that most military voters lean Republican.
With “Low T Pete” Hegseth in charge, I wouldn’t be so sure that holds.
Hegseth isn’t strengthening our military. He’s giving our troops reasons to walk away from it.

the british home office acts under the assumption that poor people do not have the right to fall in love because they are less human and less british
Yet again, an angle on this which never gets an airing, which few British people seem aware of or care about, is the destructive effect on cross-border relationships (British citz & foreign spouses).
Avenues to people settling together in UK or elsewhere, are shrivelling & disappearing year by year

Shabana Mahmood will announce - finally - the sweeping changes to indefinite leave to remain.
Most will have to wait 10 years to settle, though there are means to reduce it, but there are expected to be concessions for care workers already here.

I think that when two people are in a consensual relationship with one another it’s generally a pretty reasonable assumption that they share core values and beliefs.

1. The bottom line: SARS-CoV-2 only emerged in late 2019. No-one can know the long-term effects of repeated infections, but with anosmia and cognitive dysfunction as common symptoms, the assumption I make is that there is a tsunami of early-onset neurocognitive diseases coming.
