Why do you think dark money is so important to the Republican Party?

Ok. I know everything you’re saying. I think you are just misunderstanding my question. It’s ok!

Not only that his donations to Dems were mostly in contested primaries to beat the more liberal candidates.

I'm not trying to say "ur dumb" I'm trying to find the answers to the actual questions I asked: was this the hot burning combustion column they were modeling, or was it cold evaporated gases? And optionally: if they measured it for concentrations, did they also measure stuff in it? (maybe maybe not, but had to do SOME measuring, what did it find?)
I will check out the documentation too though, thanks

Lol?
The republican party is far closer to the current moderate position than the Democrat party.
What is the moderate position on issues today.
Unions. Sure, you should be able to unionize if you want, but also leave if they don't represent you. Who champions right to work? The Republicans.
Transgender. The moderate position is opposition to procedures on children without parental consent. But otherwise, "you do you mate". Which is slightly closer to the republican position than the Democrat one.
Ukrainian war. The moderate position is "I dont care about Ukraine, but it is the biggest issue facing our closest allies in Europe and so we should help." Which is in this case slightly closer to the Democrat position than the republican one.
Taxation. The average American likes lower taxes. The moderate position is tax breaks for lower and middle class earners. This is closer to the republican position and is pretty much right on populist conservatism. The Republicans want lower taxes for everyone, but often favor high income earners. The Democrat position is higher taxes for everyone but with a larger impact on higher income earners.
COVID. The moderate position is that you should do things like vaccination and mask wearing, but you should not be forced. Which again, fits closer to the republican position of "you should do this if you are at risk, but its not the place of the state to force it".
You seem to forget that US citizens are some of the most conservative people on average of all western nations.

So basically investment - more electricity, more expenditure.

Well technically there are different groups but really in the US there are kind of really only the two.
This is because of how us elections work where splitting tickets to more than 3 people running tends to hurt the most popular side. It's not like parliaments where they build a coalition after people vote.
So if you look at the US senate you have almost all rep or dem and then 1 or 2 independent.
Also looking at voters you do have like the green party but that's not really a thing when talking about presidential or congressional political. Those groups are really just spoiler candidates. You also have independents, not registered for any of them, but that just means they don't get to vote in most primaries, and really then vote Dem or rep.
There has been a move in some areas to move to ranked choice voting. Alaska and Maine have both done this. If this happens nationally it will have a huge boost for those other spoiler parties and likely make a more functional democracy.

You should definitely need to know the temperature "Burning hot right out of a fire" or "cold, evaporated" is going to change the elevation and which wind patterns it is in by hundreds, thousands of meters...
Just labeling that alone would be great, because then from the chart of what was in the tankers and what burned and what didn't, etc, we could estimate what it is a plume of ourselves.
> The were some fixed site monitors upwind that measured pretty high polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
That seems way more interesting than this chart here (just in general, downwind readings make more sense for what people would care about, and skips right over the question of what the stuff is...), do you have a link for this?

Lol yes I know about blue and red! But this chart shows a difference between “democratic party” and “liberal political groups” and same with Republican/conservative groups. So what are these “political groups” if not the party themselves?

Ah ok. Blue is Dems and red is repubs.
Again as many have pointed out it's pretty normal for the super rich to give to both parties only a lot of time they hide the money given to one party.
The US has a dark money issue because of scotus.

Being a conservative republican is like being lawful evil in D&D and being blissfully unaware.

Yeah I know all that. I’m just asking what “political groups” are being referred to in this graph since it separates out the Parties themselves.

That seems like a loaded definition that necessarily implies that liberalism is good in some sense.
Either way, these definitions can mean different things and there isn’t one true way of defining them because they’re used in different ways — even in America.

Traditions republicans are conservative and Dems are liberals.
That's however changed and we see if it changes back. Dems are still mostly liberals, and likely have become more liberal during said change. The republicans however have really become not conservative any longer. The best descriptor of them now would be anti-liberal.
They don't really put out platforms any longer. By and large their main function is to oppose whatever it is the democrats are trying to do or support.

At high level our models didn't get much better (there are improvements ofcourse). The biggest change is that instead of training on a small data set, companies started throwing everything on the internet at it.

I think this would be better visualized as a graph of price vs. searches (or some smooth of searches) rather than both versus time.
