Nate Silver: Hillary 76% chance of winning
Nate Silver: Democrats 88% chance of winning the house
In 5hrs: Breaking news: Nate Silver found dead by apparent suicide
I'll change my name fir the occasion today
Nate was spot on in terms of the popular vote
In 2016
that said, im against identity politics, victim hood and virtue seeking@Misomania
I'll be very interested to find out if, overall, more voters voted Democrat or Republican
Was he predicting popular vote though?
I'd actually have to question if Silver actually died by suicide if that happened, considering how Democrats are acting
That's all polls can predict.
His state by state blew it for WI, MI, and Penn but overall his margin was spot on
The electoral college makes it tough to predict by polls
He did a lot better than NYT with thier 99% bullshit
Can I request enlightenment. What is the 19th amendment about ?
@Desimated oh, no. I was just saying that the tribalist terms they use to confine people to left and right are archiac and extremely limiting (often wrongly). We should never view ourselves as being left or right, or any other term like that because we can and should be far more complex then that as people
woman suffrage
I don't blame Silver for his. I do blame NYT.
@Desimated like myself, I stand by the belief that there MUST be at least two healthy parties in any government. Because any one party system will inevitably slide into tyranny
This guy called Trump win spot on in 2016, and he's called it big for Repubs this mid-terms. He provides some interesting data: https://twitter.com/mitchellvii
is anyone going to call out the left for doing gerrymandering too? Like I really find it hard to believe it's only the right that does it
To soothe your PTSD after election: ❄ 💋
@Misomania totally agree.. like anything in this duality of existence... i feel like what we are seeing is the slingshot reaction effect when things go too far in one direction
sah cute huh
I owned one.
Yes, Misomania, but what are the *downsides* of a one party system?
They are great pets.
Yup, but the Republicans who were in power in the right places to gerrymander the last time
@Dusty Morgan same...and sugar gliders
those feeties!!
I have owned many types of pets. It is fun taking care of beautiful animals.
Cuuute
Giving them the best life I can give them.
Spoilers: They're probably going to be in a good position to gerrymander for the 2020 census too.
I learn a lot of new things about them too.
@Misomania " I stand by the belief that there MUST be at least two healthy parties in any government"
I will never vote for a party that wants to mandate what I am allowed to think. F*(&^%! that.
Elections will now carry a viewer warning
