It also totally flies in the face of why people liked 538 in the first place

It's hard to believe but four years ago 538's supreme confidence in Obama's chances despite some very tight polling gave liberals a lot of hope and made Silver look like a genius when he called 50/50 states correctly, detecting some last-minute movement toward Obama in Florida that even PEC missed.

On the other hand, democracy is a roundabout thing. And people who are disenchanted with such roundabout-ness will always say: “Let’s give power to a great politician and have him spearhead revolutionary changes.” I wonder if the masses have always wanted an autocrat. And they might just be getting the ideal autocratic ruler right now. Compared to that brilliant golden idol, democracy is nothing but a faded bronze idol. No, no! Julian, we’re soldiers. And republican democratic structure is often born from the muzzle of guns. But the military, despite engendering democracy, should never boast of its accomplishment. And it’s not an unfair thing! Because the gist of democracy lies in control by the people, who have the power. Democracy institutionalizes the control of the power-holders by law and structure. And the military needs this control the most. They fight for the political structure that fundamentally denies them. The military of a democracy must accept that contradictory structure. The only things the military can demand from its government are a retirement pension and paid leave; that’s about it. In other words, the rights of the workers–they cannot demand for more than that.

“For Kaiser Reinhard, there’s the shortest path to peace and unification, and for us, there’s the long road that leads towards righteous democracy. When both paths cross in the war of bloodshed, if something called God actually exists, I wonder which side He will affirm.”





“People follow people, but not necessarily ideals or institutions. Then I wonder if Julian, in the end, is fighting for me. But that’s not the way it should be. His reason for fighting shouldn’t be loyalty to one individual, but rather to the ideal and institution of democracy.”

I'm currently on a self-imposed weed break because I'm depressed and was smoking every night after work to self-medicate and then failing to, like, do dishes and laundry or look for new jobs or make plans with friends. I'm looking forward to getting un-depressed and going back to having a good relationship with weed because it really does own and is way better than getting drunk

I had that and powered through it and willed myself back into that stuff but now I'm off for other reasons. Try changing strains when you're back on and actually trying to do those things faded if possible, sometimes it's like.....oh wait I do still want to do these things and I thought I couldn't because I was smokin. Like, I had a loooooong time where I thought I didn't want to leave the house but then one day I did and tried doing some stuff while just a little faded and I was like oh wait this is not bad at all, I'm just a scaredy cat when I smoke a ton.

It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

You're picturing it and you're talking about it. That's a win in my book.
Realize that Nate's model arbitrarily assigns percent chances to how far ahead a candidate is.

His model is just sort of dumb. 70% isn't 70%. It means that "We think Clinton is about 3-4 points ahead nationally"
