Article from a few weeks ago, but now that G. Elliott Morris is taking over without Nate’s models, I’m curious what lemmy’s think about political polling analysis from FiveThirtyEight?

    it’s possible he dislikes many current right-wing politicians, but he explicitly described himself in 2012 with the following quote and hasn’t really shown much indications he’s deviated far from this belief: “I’d say I’m somewhere in between being a libertarian and a liberal. So if I were to vote, it would be kind of a Gary Johnson versus Mitt Romney decision, I suppose.”

      I think he has kind of an inherent distrust of politicians/politics in general so that does kind of track. I’m not 100% sure his personal beliefs but he has never really expressed a progressive viewpoint that’s for sure (and not saying it’s a bad thing).
