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…

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....

Too late, jerks, I already voted.

Seriously - could he not wait?!?!?! 11 fucking days?! Also, new RULE! We go back to stone age, no emails! Pigeons only.

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

One sure way to skull fuck your credibility instantly is to cite them as a source.

this girl’s linking to breitbart like it’s real

I mean, aren’t all comedians mocking Trump at this point? How deluded are these people (will answer own question, extremely deluded).

Yeah, I’m deeply uncomfortable with the idea that the “believe women”/”women have the right to be believed” mantra is getting interpreted so broadly that even family members are stigmatized for believing in their loved one’s innocence. The mantra is meant to create a climate where victims are taken seriously by the…

Small-minded people don’t like to be challenged on their assumptions and beliefs, for fear that they will have to think about something difficult and not funny. There is nothing wrong with complexity and having to confront hard subjects with open eyes.

This is an area for which it is nearly impossible for Clinton to “win.” Her husband got caught with his pants down while in office, and presumably also had a long history of being an unfaithful husband. His actions with women other than Hillary were gross and humiliating and wrong, but whether they were anything other…

I’ve bellyached about this a lot in the last week or so, including in the kinjaverse. I think I’ve come away with a couple of key takeaways, for my own squaring of cognitive dissonance.

1) Bill is not running. Moreover, even if we look at Hill/Bill as a team, Hill did not have a part in any infidelities (and/or…

The bimbo comment was in regard to Monica, who in her very own words was a mistress, not a victim. I’m betting many women have called their husband’s mistress’ that, and worse.

Ugh but if I start believing women I might also have to acknowledge they’re more than just flesh bags that my boner assigns a rating to :(

Trump: “I like to grab women, force myself upon them, and walk into their dressing rooms unannounced”

Would you sacrifice equal pay, the ERA, repeal of the Hyde Ammendment and your right to choose at the alter of Juanita Broadderick? Keep in mind her claims have been investigated by people with a financial interest in proving her right who were not able to do so. It’s possible Broadderick was raped, but Clinton’s…

The most absurd aspect of this is the idea that Trump and his supporters believe we should unequivocally believe Clinton’s accusers but his are all insane and untrustworthy. The idea that women’s experiences are only true when they fit a convenient narrative is as destructive as the tendency to disbelieve them in the…

I don’t think Marco Rubio can run on both tickets at once.

Bill isn’t running for president.
