  • On this solar eclipse day installment of the 538 Politics podcast, the crew tests their polling knowledge on the rare celestial event with a special edition of “Guess What Americans Think.” They also preview 538’s new Swing-O-Matic, a tool that lets you model demographic changes in the 2024 election and see their resulting electoral impacts. And in our latest installment of the 2024 VP draft, the crew takes a guess at who could be former President Donald Trump’s pick for the position.

    I've got a weird feeling it's going to be JD Vance. But Trump does have a thing for Scott. Tough call. Now, as a Brit, i need to go catch a pigeon to eat :)

    Doug Burgum would have been my top pick. He didn't sound extreme on the GOP debate stage, immediately endorsed Trump, and now they seem to have a good relationship (fellow billionaires with no political experience who were elected in 2016 might have helped). Plus, Trump adopted his stance on abortion. Doug Burgum said to leave it up to the states when he was running for president. He's also a governor and comes across as mild mannered. I would not be surprised at all if Trump picked him.

    11:05 ... He does know what women don't simultaneously get their periods with the full moon right? More seriously, biologists have looked into why human menstrual cycles are on average the same length as lunar cycles (~28 days), and as far as we can tell, there is no relationship between the two. Which I guess makes sense when you consider that other animals aren't don't have fertile periods linked to the moon either.

    I've eaten pigeon. It's not an uncommon meat at all in Southern Europe. My grandad's brother had a columbarium and reared pigeons himself. It's leaner than chicken and makes good stew or soup broth. I don't get what's so gross about it. Of course I wouldn't eat a New York pigeon, though...

    “Who?” not the 700’s, those you consider uncivilized majority of the population contemporarily in the zUS, tds. Not a NY pigeon, nobody does- they’re disease ridden like the streets of NYC. People not-city-people bird hunt (not the “I’m -not-a-gun-person, I’d never be a gun-person” ones). Wild pigeon is good, sometimes rare, and a delicacy. Research your history: they were exclusive to peerage, and wealthy bourgeoisie. Aren’t all you bougie-bougie living in your $4000/mo. dwellings in NYC? That’s a house payment anywhere else, btw. I’m a gun enthusiast AND I am trying to listen to you. I’m educated (an RN), and historically and politically informed. Oh, millennials- that explains it all.

    The pigeon hypothetical is basically why the majority of non-vegans actually think animals are disgusting and shouldn't be eaten, but have cognitive dissonance and eat it regardless since animal products are so prevalent and apart of culture.
