What has any of these fuckers ever predicted correctly to think they are fucking Nostradamus and not un autre dumb ass?
Media went wrong when they believed their opinions were the same as reporting GFY @bloomberg.com

I'm still trying to get a straight answer on who it is Trump is winning over outside really low info voters who typically don't vote all the cross-tabs of the polls are all over the place & it's never the same group, and such inconsistency really makes me questions the GO of the GIGO

still struggling to get around how this matches 2 years of dumb economic arguments where people say their economic situation is fine, but they're sure it's really bad for other people I don't know @ you but can't escape sense that it's unmoored doomcasting based on people they don't actually know

Let me be clear. In my opinion, John Roberts has joined Roger Taney (Dred Scott - slavery) as a Chief Justice who will be remembered as an evil man. Not just wrong, but worthy of eternal condemnation for trying to destroy the Republic.

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

Easily my favorite writer at the Prospect. Very disappointed to see Kuttner & Meyerson on the #SomeoneElse train because i used to have respect for them. But useful to see who the weak knees are so I can avoid their voices going forward.

The goal is the better candidate and also trying to play political consultant like well paid pundits with writers block and too much time in their hands accomplishes less than nothing Stop bidding against yourself Dems guessing what your neighbor thinks like has been happening with economic polls

it's disengenuous to suggest a bad debate is probative of anything it hasn't been in the past and it won't be worse for Joe than Afghanistan. I mean it will probably cost him some votes but history indicates losing a news cycle is just that losing your bladder control is something entirely diff

yeah & you never see them repeated; one poll he's cut the lead on under 35 another poll he's winning indies big, the next he's even on women there is no consistent group he's winning other than a few points off latinos maybe (pretty consistent) so hard to believe TFG is making inroads

I'll be honest, I'm not sure who Trump has really won over. He lost pretty badly to Biden. I get saying polls are wrong, but they've been wrong an awful lot esp. early, and when difference is within 6% that's way within the error range so what groups has he won? cross-tabs haven't been consistent

I think on the whole Warren native american thing she was never going to outrun that; that's the smear you get but as smears go, really, I think it's pretty weak I'd be a lot more worried about what indies think about a felon But admittedly, Dem messaging is pretty shit & media big part of that

oh yeah, he needs to do something about his team who by all appearances are Stephen Miller quality no argument here; and yeah they stupidly invested capital in this but if you think it's easier to choose a new candidate than recover from one bad debate, I got news for you....

if you believe any GOP narrative will be put to rest you haven't been watching long enough how many stories were there on immigrant caravan how long did that go on? how probative was it in the end? I mean I get feeling bad, but over-reaction is best thing Dems could do for Trump; same smear DD

Reagan won a second term with alzheimers because Republicans knew that it didn't actually matter, control of the office does. There's zero polls that show a statistically significant slippage. Don't throw out the old ass baby with the bathwater

based on what? pundit vibes? lot of people were not going to vote for Joe after afghanistan lol people need to go thru life w/o relying on the crutch of polling whose error bars haven't changed as they went from >50% response rates to <1% it's scary but I get no sense Ross Douhat/Ezra knows shit

well if Trump is incompetent and made it thru 4 yrs and only killed an extra million or two Americans and the US is still cool with him, I guess I don't know what the scary thing about Biden is. They have to get Trump up at 3am too & he flung plates of ketchup!

or raises a question on how good the Dunn's advice is he got better as the debate went on idk what to tell you; the other guy got thru and he's a fucking basket case, so I guess nobody had given any practical reasons to be upset did he suggest injecting bleach?

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

Giving up the incumbent advantage because a bunch of disingenuous and/or nihilistic journos have condemned Biden like he's an old building seems the dumbest thing imaginable. Biden wasn't my choice in the 2020 primaries, but he's the president now, and just being the president is a big advantage.

if I waited until I saw cross-tabs that made sense I'd never listen to polling this is why I don't trust <1% response rate polling any farther than I can kick it error bar may be +/- 10pts which isn't very informative
