This is the same woman that managed to lose the easiest election in history.
Yet the Dem party repeats all o'er again
"The party cannot fail you; you people can only fail the party"...
Damn it, with times like this, one can only wish for an ACTUAL revolutionary party...
After all, the Rep party originated as a 3rd party historically... against the Whig party and Dem party... yet it won against many odds , all in all.
I mean, we had the Black Panthers, but they didn't check in with the FBI to see if that was allowed first soooo...
Because she's out of touch with the left. Which is the same reason Biden will loose 2024.
She was going to win it. Comey dropped his letter saying that an investigation would be reopened right before voting. That probably cost her the election.
Nate is just coping about being so devastatingly wrong about his "96% chance of victory!" prediction.
Besides, it shouldn't have been that close to begin with. The 2016 election should have been a wham bam slam jam thank you ma'am landslide win for the Democrats, on the scale of Reagan v. Mondale. The fact that it wasn't should concern you about the party's competence and/or goals.
Nate (or rather, the 538 model). didn't make a 96% chance of victory prediction. It at most went up to around 88% right after the debates where Trump made a fool of himself and the Hollywood Access Tapes were released. But even then, Silver cautioned in an interview that Hillary's support among certain groups was soft.
I'm honestly not sure when the Democrats will have a solid win again. Recently the electoral college has tilted against us and Trumpian populism has taken grip over a large portion of the country. Fewer and fewer voters are up for grabs. It took the unpopular Iraq War for Obama, who was also a very gifted candidate and campaigner, to get a 7.2% lead. I expect a lot more repeats of 2020, where Biden only got a 4.5% lead despite Trump's poor leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic. A slightly closer race would have had Biden losing key swing states and the election.
There was a different popular prediction model that gave 96% which got Mandela-effected into being Nate's.
Edit:
Thanks, I remember at least one model that was indeed spitting out ludicrous numbers that should have given any statistician pause.
The neolib is eternal. Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
Just FYI I'm 90% sure the guy on the left is a republican. Like fuck Hillary and all but there have to be better sources lol.
I think he used to be but then went Independent but still leans conservative or something and the blonde woman who cohosts with Ryan Grim on Wednesdays and Fridays is also a conservative, idk there's a whole history/lore to that show but leftist journalists in the anglosphere are a bit scarce and Krystal Ball and Ryan Grim are some of the few. It's actually been really interesting to watch how some of his old worldviews unraveled in the course of their journalism over time. I'm half-expecting him to become a leftist in a few years if the trend continues.
