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?

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…
Before the election, most people were skewering Nate Silver for “scare-mongering for clicks” because he was warning everyone that Trump still had a good chance of winning, that there was an unusual amount of volatility because of all of the undecided voters, that there was a good chance Trump won the EC but lost the…
Huh? Silver was consistently attacked for weeks because his win probability for Clinton was “way too low”. He comes out of this looking way way better than nearly every other statistician (after consistently being horribly wrong for 15 months, but hey).
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....
White girls gonna white.
Here is your White Trump voter, America.
How much you want to bet, all her downplaying of him threatening her and him knowing questions in advance, etc, now that the book has had early release of excerpts, is that she only put those anecdotes in the book because she didn’t expect him to win?
“Now that he is President of the United States and not directly aggressively attacking me, Donald Trump really isn’t that bad!”
What a relief...I was starting to like her.
Donated. And you know he bears enough of a resemblance to that desert-my-wife-with-cancer POS Newt Gingrich (sorry Foster), that maybe if elected he can slip into whatever post Orange Julius Caesar places him. Sort of a Freaky Friday scenario but with the goal of saving the country.
Right on!
Well, maybe the non-voters and third partiers will get out and fucking vote. Especially since on this run-off, they don’t have their “witch” to protest.
I donated.
Donated! Will spread the word.
It’s just wrong that a Republican can be named John Kennedy.
I also donated last week! Hope that he succeeds.
