Since 2012, when Nate Silver delivered basically a perfect game, I feel like people have taken that type of work too seriously/literally. If you are expecting someone to win based on that type of work, that is your problem. It's a time sensitive snapshot of a range of possibilities, nothing more. It can't capture everything. That said, I think if you are a math person, understand that most people aren't, and have some patience. I feel like Nate has slowly gotten better about this. If you're not a math person, ask someone who is about what this stuff is for. I am fortunate to have a brother wired for math who has helped me with this stuff.

I honestly think Pelosi isn’t half the problem that Schumer is
Yes Yes Yes. The right wing smear machine has been after Pelosi forever, but she's gotten things done. I can't take Shumer seriously at all.

Hi
I should also add that I think 538 does great work, and if people just listened to their podcast once in a while, lots of things would be cleared up.
Been sort of following the conversation on the past few pages, but i’ll second this.
The weeks leading up to election 2016 did not give me a good feeling about Hillary’s chances. That was primarily due to Silver and co. highlighting an ever-so-slight movement of the polling data towards Trump.
