November 05, 2020
Nate Silver to His Critics: "Fuck You, We Did a Good Job!"
If by "Good job" you mean deliberately depressed Republican fundraising and turnout and created the false expectations of a Biden victory required to cover up a fraudulent "vote" count for Biden, then yes, Nate, you and all your media cronies, including those at Fox News, did a great job.
Mission accomplished.
"I do want to ask about polling, because I think I would be virtually decapitated on Twitter if I didn't get into this," podcast moderator Galen Druke said about 20 minutes into the group’s discussion, raising the significant polling errors in states like Florida and Wisconsin. "The pitchforks are already coming for the pollsters and the prognosticators," Druke said, asking his boss to address the "rage" that has been directed his way over the past 24 hours.
"If they're coming after FiveThirtyEight, then the answer is fuck you, we did a good job!" Silver replied, explaining that the only reason former Vice President Joe Biden was considered such a heavy favorite in the site's closely watched model was because "he could withstand a 2016-style polling error or a bit larger" and still win the election.
18 Nate should learn to code.
