Again, even if he isn't an outright right winger, that's fine. I'm willing to back off on that. But polls do not matter, and in fact the only thing they seem to do is reduce turnout. I really don't care about Nate's thoughts, and never have since 2016. I think a lot of people stopped trusting polls and definitely stopped trusting him back then.

Nate Silver IS a right winger, though, so I don't believe anything on his site, and I especially don't believe him on this topic. Even if he wasn't outright a right winger, polls do not matter and are frequently incorrect for various reasons.

Plus, he's no longer affiliated with 538.

"I dIdN't VoTe fOr EiTher oF tHeM" is their usual response to something like this, even though they're fully aware that voting third party while we have the EC is just voting to spoil the better candidate of the two major parties.

Just fucking vote. Polls don't win elections. Plus, the majority of the most recent polls are backed by red wavers. I wouldn't put much stock into them regardless, but especially not the most recent ones.

Nope, the only bad party here is the one doing huge amounts of wage theft internationally. So much for your "socialist" ideals.

The Mormons are pros at theft indeed.

Sorry, should have worded that differently. I was referring to the layoffs.

I can guarantee Amazon has stolen at least 10x more from their employees than what the employees as a whole have stolen from Amazon.
