Why does that even matter?

Man, if only democrats or a Democratic president had tried to help retain them if they lost their jobs to trade deals, help their kids have more/cheaper access to education, put them to work repairing America’s infrastructure, or entice companies to bring jobs back to America.

Regardless of income, whiteness is the most important factor. I really don’t care about the income angle, but I won’t let white people try to lay this at the feet of poor, backwoods white people only. It was white people at every level—rich, poor, educated, uneducated, religious, not religious, women, and men.

The problems of which you speak have been problems in the cities. I don’t know who you’re talking to but there are plenty of people in the cities who are suffering. The difference seems to be that for some reason the discussion about suffering in rural areas are talked about as though the people there are not at fault…

Bullshit.

This is the new white supremacist strategy: ATTACK THE REPORTER as a distraction when they call you out on your bullshit. When are journalists going to learn how to pierce this? Additionally, why are they giving these monsters a platform to gaslight America?

At the very least, four years where the official government response to every criticism is “I know you are, but what am I?”. And I know that this is not a government rep, but that’s been how Trump has handled everything so far.

IT IS NOT NATE SILVER’S FAULT THAT PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND PROBABILITIES. He gave Trump a higher chance of winning the presidency than the Cubs had of coming back and winning the World Series after Game 4 and we literally all JUST saw that happen. He doesn’t conduct the polls, he aggregates them, and there was no way…

Yeah, he’s a weird scapegoat in this saga. Flash back a week and a half ago and there were people all over the internet (including on this family of websites) writing pieces about how he was being way too bullish about Trump’s chances. Now, we’re blaming him for not being bullish enough...

Silver constantly warned that this election was different given the volatility in the polls and the large amount of undecided voters. He also warned that there was a significant possibility that Trump would win the Electoral College, but would lose the popular vote. Nate Cohn at the Upshot, however, was completely…

Nate Silver’s model was the only one which gave Trump a good chance of winning. Take it up with the Huffington Post and Sam Wang; they gave Clinton close to a 99% chance of winning....

Nothing but class.

If you hire a truly diverse staff of smart people you will have ideological diversity and you will come by it honestly. Seeking out ideological diversity specifically does not work out well. It’s why Bill Kristol has a career.

The product has been honed by growers over the last 40 years to be completely different in potency and quality than the one they started with, and these criminal networks have also cultivated ever widening base of demand for this product among virtually all demographics, in an economy quite saturated with harder…

This is the country we have always lived in. Nothing has changed.

In the coming days people will be looking for someone to blame, the pollsters, the strident feminists, the Democratic Party, a vengeful god, but once you dust for finger prints, it’s pretty clear who ruined America—white people. I guess, ruining Brooklyn was just a dry run. The caucasian nation turned up in droves to…

Oh, the polls? Yes, let’s talk about how they were so reliable we can base complete hypotheticals on them with any degree of certainty.

Not too busy, but just didn’t want to:

Bernie was a garbage candidate who survived only because the Clinton campaign was too afraid of alienating millennials to do even the slightest negative attack on him.
