Give everybody a platform to say anything they want, no matter how heinous or untruthful, then declare that it's not your job to decide who does and doesn't get to use your platform, it's just your job to provide the platform and hey, if they want to use that platform to openly advocate white supremacy based on a mountain of lies, then it's your job as the viewer to make up your own mind about what facts are true.

By this point I'm practically expecting Lester Holt to open the debate by saying "Hello, I'm Lester Holt. Candidates, the question is: America. Go." and then just sit there for ninety minutes without saying another word.

On the WaPo dead heat poll, take a look at those other questions... Hillary is above 50% on the questions of being qualified, having the right personality/temperament, having knowledge of world affairs, handling immigration, handling an international crisis, dealing with social issues, handling health care, and looking out for the middle class. They even think she was justified in keeping her pneumonia private and that Trump is not in hiding his taxes while he appeals to prejudices to win. But you see the Democrats have had their turn and what Trump says about sticking it to China sounds real appealing so I guess we're still undecided!

If you criticize Nate Silver, it is because you don't understand statistical modeling. If you're like me (smart) you will always hug and kiss Nate Silver, who is good and has a web site.

Dr Christmas posted:What happened that made the small gains Clinton made last week on 538 disappear? T-t-t-terrorism probably. They're neck and neck on that issue, a lot of people are concerned about it happening in the lead up to the election, and it's the second most important issue on peoples' minds in the WaPo poll (possibly more if the "two or more" item hides a lot of terrorism votes)

This is a friendly reminder that hillbilly was a slur to denigrate those who ran to the mountains because they refused to interact with capitalism, and weren't racially homogenous, whereas Trump supporters have a higher median income than Americans as a whole and are almost exclusively white. Stop blaming poor folk. This is all about retail management types terrified they'll be treated the way they treat their underlings.

So basically in the debate either Trump lies about everything, Clinton spends her segments refuting him, and next day the verdict is "SHE DID NOT SPEAK ABOUT HER POLICIES ENOUGH, TRUMP WINS" or she doesn't bother refuting him, in which case "HILLARY WAS BORN IN KENYA TO ISIS AND AL-QAEDA, TRUMP WINS"

The Reno speech was a trial balloon in this direction but they seem to have dropped that approach. The Great Normalization has definitely worked to help Trump so I can see why they tried to cut it off at the pass, but the white voters' capacity for self-deception can't be underestimated.

greatn posted:People keep saying she's been targeting self identified Republicans but I haven't seen it. She and the campaign made a deliberate decision to disassociate Trump from your typical Paul Ryan Republican in an effort to make defection by regular Republicans seem more attractive. That may have paid off by widening the Dem margin in Virginia, but it doesn't seem to have helped much in Ohio, Colorado, or Florida. It could pay off if it flips Georgia, but that's an outside shot. https://www.buzzfeed.com/rubycramer/how-a-decision-in-may-changed-the-general-election

Non Serviam posted:^^^Perhaps assuming almost half the electorate is racist and misogynistic, and that their opinions are unchangeable, is the error then. Calling it an assumption implies it's not accurate. America is still very much full of racism and misogyny. I'd be surprised if half the country isn't guilty of one, or both, of those things. Especially racism given how many totally-not-racist people fall in to the "well I like X but just not here" camp. Crows Turn Off posted:Haha, how can they even justify this? What exactly do they think their jobs entail? So pathetic. They have to moderate, as in, make both positions look moderate with the truth being in the middle.
