Unassailable point by Nate Silver

"Maybe worth noting that Democrats are 3-0 this century when they have a Black person on the ticket, and 0-3 when they don't."

The media doesn't "call" an election. They project a winner based on the numbers they have

That projection has no legal meaning or import and has no effect on the the actual outcome of the election.

That's why all of the demands that the media "call it" and the angry complaints that they haven't done so yet is odd - especially since many of us think the media are often idiots who generally shouldn't be taken seriously. We all have the same information they have. If, based on that information, you think Biden is going to be the winner, why do you need Steve Kornacki to tell you that the MSNBC Decision Desk agrees with you?

I'm feeling better about things than I have in years - we are on the verge of a horrible menace being run out of office and the country being turned back around under President Biden and Vice President Harris. I refuse to have my joy stolen or spend this time complaining and getting all worked up over the fact that a media outlet hasn't yet decided that it is comfortable projecting a winner.

No words ...

Why are people so angry the media is being careful to get it right before projecting a winner?

If news outlets were to call it and got it wrong because they jumped the gun, they'd never hear the end of it - and the people now demanding that they call it immediately would be screaming the loudest.

We're not children waiting for Santa Claus to come. Why can't we just be patient, let the counting continue, and wait for the call to be made?

Sheesh!

Thank you, John Lewis

Poll Watchers

Can we now finally really forget about the "forgotten white rural voter"?

They've been getting shoved down our throats for at least the last 12 years. They're the most covered and catered to neglected people in American history. I'm sick of hearing about them.

Time to start talking about THESE real Americans.
