    Yeah true, but I think they actually use wavelength of red shift, which is distance… traveled by light in the time it takes to make a full cycle. So I guess we’re back to seconds again.

    I think they use this for distance and time because at scales being dealt with they have the same implications.

    I think the actual action is to engage with the democratic political process.

    So yes, vote. But also go to town hall meetings, and park board meetings, and parent advisory council meetings. Write a letters to your representatives, and then go to one of their events and tell them what you think of their response.




  • I get that it’s more about turnout than conversion but are there many Trump supporters that didn’t vote for him last time?

    My impression at the time was that Trump did a very good job of energizing his base and getting the vote out. Are there actually many people that were indifferent/too lazy/too busy in 2020 but now think Trump is a good candidate? Is that fraction of the population actually larger than the fraction of people that now see him as a lethal threat to what’s left of democracy in America?

    Has gerrymandering gotten worse somehow?
