Just a reminder that Nate Silver is absolutely worthless for analysis.
The second tweet is absolutely asinine, he blatantly recognizes what the difference is but he just swipes it under the rug as to "complicate the story" by providing factual context. Then even when acknowledging the difference he has to couch his comments with a "probably".

yeah I saw that and decided not to post another brainless Nate Silver take haha I just cant with this guy anymore. I unfollowed and my opinion of him is just in the gutter.
Holy shit.
How can someone post that and not realize how utterly asinine it is?
He essentially backpedaled his reductive, sensationalist shit into 100% agreeing with his detractors.
Almost as if his real argument was just a matter of semantics and no substances. Some real "But all lives matter" energy.
The fact that I live in a world where this colossal dickhead's shit Tweets get hundreds of thousands or over a million likes is so incredibly depressing.

He's pathologically incapable of admitting he's wrong.
The nonsense to focus on "thought leaders of the left" when right now there's a real struggle to find any new progressive leadership as Bernie enters his 80s after preaching the same stuff for decades.
Nate's covid takes are some of the worst I've seen, and that's saying something.
He just really wanted to go eat at restaurants and play poker. He sacrificed so much for us. Bless u Nathan.
Thought leaders lol. Shit-posters with little, to no, influence.
So if you title the comic and add 69 labels á la Ben Garrison then Elon is on to something.
And Jesus Christ, Ross Douthat enters the chat. Kill me now.

Galaxy Brain Take: Nate Silver sees the writing on the wall for the current US political system and is slowly but not-so-subtly trying to edge his way into enlightened centrist punditry in the hopes of still having some relevance once electoral analysis becomes pointless.
You're at least 5 years too late. Nate has been laundering tons of stupid bullshit under the guise of "objective" data parsing for a long time.
I just deactivated my account and deleted the app. I don't think time should be wasted caring about Twitter when there are other ways of communicating.
I read three replies to this and feel at least 10% less good at thinking things.
User Banned (Permanent): Trolling over a series of posts, prior severe ban for concern trolling and dismissiveness
The US treats billionaires like they are the great philosophers of our time. Like Plato or Socrates.
or else what? lol
are you threatening me with moderation for not falling in line with groupthink here?
Toigh guy acts don't really work when you're being a coward, but go for it!
If me asking you to elaborate is ban bating in your own words then you just said it all.
Well done.
it was your obvious troll attempts with drive by style posts that showed you up, btw, not just a difference of opinion.
Dropping a hot take and proceeding to just dodge and weave to draw attention and adopting a persecution complex about the "Era hive mind" isn't going to do you any favors in terms of ban evasion.
Is the conservative stick figure not moving accurate in that drawing to you as well?
Man if you're a centrist then it's whatever, but how is it any way accurate to say that Conservatives haven't moved an inch to the right?
I can give you that, but I figured the fringe right was batshit all along
yeah it does correlate with those obama years
did a little ol' tall slim black man radicalize young liberal Elongated Muskrat?
But they literally are not the fringe anymore. They are the mainstream. The LEADER of the party called any who are not batshit, RINO Republicans. What equivalence to that is going on with the left?
protests and riots for police reform? been goin on since the 1960s lol
Suggesting we have a responsibility to improve things for those with less privilege or something.
Choosing to ignore we've gone from electing politicians on the right to literally trying to kill politicians that don't adhere to demands, also a position on the right? "The left" only seems "radical" because the right has always painted anything beyond their borders as beyond the pale, failing to admit that their own party is the one moving the furthest. The same group talking about free speech is also talking about burning banned books.
Only one party seems to have the honor to talk about how things move, and it's the one that also says policies of compassion are "extreme." That is not the left. Jesus Christ would be a communist to today's political right, but they've already painted him as someone who would help destroy homeless camps with police so he's been Reaganized in a sense. That graph incorrectly implies only one side is moving and the other is standing still, and this is only true if we admit for decades the right has been a Christian fascist movement and the only thing that's changed is the elimination of the dogwhistles and coded language. Even if that is true -- and it is -- their calls for violence for everything against their view is a further example of radicalization.
If elaborating would get you banned, perhaps you should reconsider your position.
I know a number of people have already quoted you, but that's ridiculous. I mean I don't know if you're serious but I don't know how someone in good faith could look at the landscape and come to that conclusion. In the wake of the last few years especially.
