yeah i don't get what the backlash is based on

i mean what does he do, uses stats to predict election results and [censored]? isn't that what existing pollsters already try to do? i feel like i might be missing a rather big piece of the puzzle here or something...

Minnesota is such a joke you can register at the poll and don't even need an id. Someone can just vouch for you.

Oh sweet we can talk about the election tonight. My thoughts?

Doesn't matter. President is just a spokesperson for the Illuminati.

I'm new to this whole government thing but what I gathered from the campaigns and debates is that once one is elected president you just walk into the Oval Office and start declaring laws.

US should rejoin the commonwealth.

It would be a fun retro thing.

I really hate political coverage. Every bitch is some spokesperson for their party and spin like mad.

****ing mainstream media is such a scam.

There is good criticisms of silver's political work out there. He really did blow the 2010 british elections.
