Cugel the Clever posted:It is constantly annoying to me that this needs to be re-explained again and again. Folks are taking extraordinary measures to ensure that they don't get the coronavirus because there's a 1% chance that they'll die, but a Trump winning with a forecasted 29% likelihood is impossible and a sign that pollsters are full of poo poo. right, sometimes unlikely things happen, so there's no way to judge a predictive model by actual events

Cugel the Clever posted:You're right, but there's no way in hell we're completely redoing the 2016 election even nine more times to see whether Trump only wins a little less than a third of them. An election is not an unknowable random event, it's deterministic, and unpredictable only due to limited information and time. The percentage numbers indicate the model's confidence in the outcome, based on measurements of things which in reality fully determine the result, and based on theories of how and to what degrees they determine it, making a tractable guess of what will happen possible. 538's theories were wrong and have not changed. I think it's Trump's election to lose, but that he still might. If anyone could avoid doing the many things that could easily clinch his victory, it'd be him. e: Biden's campaign continues to be elder abuse.

Political volunteering helped me realize that I could give many more votes to the people i supported than just my own. Paradoxically it made me much less interested and invested in who people will vote for. If you're a "no," then I can move on to the next person. I don't talk much about who I support off the clock, because volunteering a few hours a week for a few months means my own vote, generously, less than five percent of the votes I have contributed to. However much you value voting for your choice, you should value prompting ten more people to vote that way ten times as much.

facialimpediment posted:I didn't realize this until earlier today, but if you flip a Trump voter to Biden, it counts for double. You add a vote to your total and decrease from theirs! There aren't many of those "undecided" voters anymore, but they still exist and they're high-value. 2018 showed that there were plenty enough of them to flip the House and that was before the pandemic and mass uprising. You're on the moon. Electoral strategy is about turnout: increasing it with people who are likely to vote for your person and decreasing it for everyone else. Some messages happen to do both, but they don't literally change people's minds.

facialimpediment posted:That's more or less the Trump campaign strategy, but there's a serious problem with it. If you try to decrease votes for the other side, there's the very real threat of blowback. A lot of the voter suppression poo poo they're trying to pull is just making people even more determined to vote, even people that might not have considered voting before. That's how you get BLM rallies in the middle of the deep south after gassing Lafayette Square. Is it also how you have Trump after dismissing him and his supporters as obviously incompetent, racist, and generally deplorable? Do the people you disagree with also have sufficient agency to become more determined to vote in the face of people they hate denying them, or does all evidence you find just reinforce your existing positions? I'll give you this, you're providing a good example of what I meant: a narrative of inevitable happy victory is one that brings people to the polls. The theory that complacency makes people not bother to vote is BS, Americans love a winner and enjoy joining bandwagons. Unless it's for someone they don't like, in which case they sulk and stay home. But none of this marketing nonsense can compete with real-poo poo voter suppression. The democratic party cannot defend democracy.

I'm starting to be concerned only those of us making the Jim Crow jokes are getting them, so I'll just say it: cognitive or educational tests as a condition of voting was part of Jim Crow. If you're worried that some people are too stupid to vote, figure out how to educate them, and how to outnumber them.

facialimpediment posted:By the way, the CDC is basically hosed now. This is why I tend to react like a gently caress when I see the "Biden won't make anything better ever" stuff. Why would a Biden admin change this? If you're already committed to not paying people to stay home and healthy, and to not providing care if they're sick, accurate and widespread testing doesn't do anything but make people scared to go out and buy things. There's no upside.

Handsome Ralph posted:This is pretty much where I'm at with it. To boot, seeing that it's mostly white people whining about how players from a majority black sports league approached Obama or that they got nothing is a bit cringey to say the least. You've hared off into an argument about celebrity, not reality. Go outside and see who's whining about what. Mustang posted:So who will? There's a long road ahead of creating political organizations capable of and interested in protecting the lives of working people, but it's work worth doing even if success turns out to be impossible, or at least impossible in our lifetimes. But hey, sometimes things can change quickly.
