I'm hoping that if Harris wins and it's a blowout, it makes us stop treating data people and polls as gospel. Not just in elections but in general.

Will say again that a lot of them are arrogant and will again mention that they've never been good at predicting.

That’s just the thing. Polls aren’t predictive. Even when the polls are done correctly, the interpretation and extrapolation is where it goes off the rails.

I think this is a failure of pollsters overstating their function and importance. Basically, they are promoting that the tail wag the dog, not the other way around. Polls can be used to course correct and plan, but it really is similar to the roulette tables posting the last 10 or so rolls on the board. They make you think you are gaming the system like blackjack card counting, but in reality the roulette “deck” is reshuffled every roll.

The media focusing on who is up or down instead of focusing on policy is the large problem.

Anyhow, this was one of the W. Bush admin sayings that I agreed with, that they weren’t led by polls. They created the narrative, and it was their job to implement policy and sell it so that the polls/public would come around.

 

Oh, the semiotics

I feel seen.

aside: I’m even getting errors trying to quote post tweets!

here’s what the tweet says:
Friendly reminder that from now until Wednesday, we are living in the metaphorical equivalent of an airport lounge. Calories don't count. Money doesn't matter. No one will judge you for having a beer at 10am.

Not seeing that on my end.

But what does work is when I quote-post a post with an embedded tweet, then everything shows up. Then I delete.

So if any of you are getting alerts that I quoted you, and nothing appears, that is what is happening.

But I’m even getting errors trying to quote-post or edit an embedded tweet!
