    We can discuss Harris, sure. However, the topic was a debate - so yes, the idea is comparing the two. Trump was slovenly, unhinged and incoherent, but you somehow didn’t notice and claim that Harris did a bad job? Your interpretation is so distorted that I’m not sure it’s worth addressing.

    okay, so Silver is working for Peter Theil now. Good to know.

      It is weird how you think it was comparing the two when talking about Harris. It is the TDS the left has. It is weird as hell.

      Who cares who Nate works for? He explains his work, it’s detailed and has been very accurate. He has also said he is going to vote for Harris, as everyone should.

        Yeah bro, TDS, the left!

        We were comparing their debate performances as far as I can read it, so pretty sure that’s not “TDS” (which is an absurd term, and fuck Charles Krauthammer for introducing that to the lexicon - about Bush, of course). It’s worth noting that you made those claims about Harris’ performance while either accepting Trump’s or just overlooking his frankly insane behavior.

        I don’t really trust anyone once Theil is involved. Maybe that’s just my Theil Derangement Syndrome, since of course criticizing conservatives always means mental illness.

        There are other experts who have analyses too, of course. You might check out this one:

          Paywalled.

          Betting odds are on Trump.

          Yeah I get the weird paranoia about theil. That’s completely normal and sane. Instead of looking at the facts and the experience of the person doing the work, I’d point to the baba yaga instead

            I can read the entire article. You mean you don’t use NoScript etc?

            There’s no “paranoia” about Theil. He’s shown himself to be an incredibly horrible person and to do bizarre things like have special assistants for donating blood he is injected with. Imagine how much ‘conservatives’ would freak out if Obama or someone similar did that, but he’s your boy, keep him.

              Trump is getting blood injections? I have not heard that. That’s actually a new “treatment”. I say treatment because god knows how wells it’s researched
