Don't feel like getting in *too* much of a fight so I'm not going to single out individuals. But we're getting to the point where there's a lot of horseshoe-theory overlap between anti-vaxxers and zero-covid zealots.— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) April 17, 2022

I hope this motherfucker gets utterly horrific long covid and shits out a kidney.

      Absolutely nailing one election, Obama 08

      I forgot that it was -this- election that he nailed and boy does that explain a lot more about the bubble he rode

          Anyone whose name we know is a narcissist. So many rich people without any celebrity, you have to want it to get it

      He's basically what would happen if Chris Cillizza knew how to use a spreadsheet.

      Hiring a bunch of other lackeys to make shitty political and sports predictions since then, and just collecting a check off of the 538 name

      They laid off Clare Malone after the 2020 election, and she was their best analyst by far. It's purely a racket.

        I used to listen to 538 back when I was a :LIB:, but firing Clare Malone got me to stop listening completely. She was the only one who was willing to push back against Ag's awful takes.

          I gave up with that shit in '16. Couldn't stomach the endless awful takes. But yes, that definitely sealed the deal.
