Why isn't everybody? (NM) - Marlowe Oct 18, 21:16
Invite him to BlueSky. Also wonder why the killfile filter didn’t catch this one. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 18:31 2
- http vs https -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 18:44 1
  - Son of a bitch! -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 18:44
I have no idea what it says but I'm surprised he's stuck around all this time. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 18:02 15
- He thinks people have gotten wiser about 45 and that the election isn't as close as the media suggests. -- nm - David Oct 18, 18:19 14
  - I guess I don't understand why anyone would leave twitter over that. Like is he butthurt that trump isn't winning? -- nm - amanda Oct 19, 07:38 1
    - No, Rex is a 100% a liberal. He's also a college legend in Kentucky so his Twitter ideas gives a lot of people there conflicting feelings. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 11:11
  - Seems like poll-unskewing wishcasting, but who knows. -- nm - ty97 Oct 18, 18:34 6
    - Or a thoughtful opinion based in reality as opposed to trusting polling, which has repeatedly failed and is being manipulated in plain sight. -- nm - David Oct 18, 18:36 5
      - Perhaps! I'd certainly be happy about that! - ty97 Oct 18, 18:39 4
        
        It's not, but I do think it's interesting that I haven't seen any in 2024. -- (edited) - David Oct 18, 18:43 3
        
        I 100% agree the media wants the close horse race. - ty97 Oct 18, 18:47 2
        
        It's not that they're in cahoots. It's that their methodology is flawed and fails to adapt to a changing landscape, much like Nielsen ratings. - David Oct 18, 19:02 1
        
        The real problem likely won’t be the polls, the media, or the votes anyway. It’ll be the chaos attempt after the election itself. - Qale Oct 18, 20:17
  - R-leaning pollsters have been flooding the zone with polls showing a Trump lead or a tie and it’s moving the needle in the aggregation sites. -- nm - Tim Oct 18, 18:22 4
    - (Which is fuel to claim election fraud if there turns out to be a decisive Harris win.) -- nm - Tim Oct 18, 18:23 3
      - Right? - ReluctantCynic Oct 18, 18:48 1
        
        Him winning is what keeps me up at night. -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 18, 19:00
      - Thanks, guys! -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 18:27
I fundamentally disagree with him on part of that -- Trump may well gain votes because there are a lot of people who vote their pocketbooks - Will Hunting Oct 18, 18:02
