To be fair, I live in a country where you can vote for a 3rd or 4th or 5th party and your vote still counts, because that’s how democracy should work.
In the US, I would probably be considered one of my ‘non-voters’.
Although that is true, you were never promised a fair world.
You need to use all your cunning and what little power you have to best negotiate the one you live in. Being able to vote democrats in gave you two parties to play against each other. The option of a lesser evil.
By not voting, and allowing the republicans to stack the supreme court, non-voters gave away their last bargaining chip.
It is not the parties that will burn.
Isnt that the upside of crowdfunding? If they meet their goal, it goes ahead, if they dont, everyone keeps their money.
Im not rich, but I can spare a few dollars to support creators I enjoy

Most simple regression models assume that the X variable is fixed by the experimenter and has no error associated with it, only the Y variable has random error, so all residual errors are vertical deviation from the trend line. As a result, the line is tilted to be ‘flatter’ than the main axis of the data.
In reality, the X variable often has just as much error/uncertainty as the Y variable, and the residuals should be perpendicular to the trend line.
One regression that allows for that is Major Axis Regression.
Another is to just take the main axis from PCA.
