She was predicted to win the popular vote....

And she did.

Looking at statewide polling and a lot of battleground states were coinflips.

The problem was anyone mentioning that got screeched at for wanting trump to win....

I really didn't think she'd fuck it up this much.

The last three elections have been like Brewster's Millions where it's like the Dem is trying to lose.

She was predicted to win the popular vote…And she did.

But this article is saying it's based on the EC,

Nate Silver's latest forecast now gives Vice President Kamala Harris a slight edge in the Electoral College
The model shows Harris securing 271 Electoral College votes to Trump's 267.

That is too close. I hate that it's that close.

I want her to get over 350... over 400 even.

YES (no predictions)

Honestly there should be zero results posted until all votes are counted. Counting as they come in influences later voters, especially in western time zones.

I thought there was an election in the not too distant past where the news declared a winner before Hawaii even finished voting.

I disagree with the "no predictions" part, but fully 100% agree with not releasing any results until all votes are tallied.

I wouldn't say giving Harris a 50.4 percent chance of winning is predicting her to win. That's effectively a coin toss.

yeah, I really hate seeing these types of articles during elections. some will skim past it and go "well, its cool. I don't need to vote, she got it" and that kind of lazyness is how elections are lost.

That's the whole point. America's plutocracy — who own most of the media — want a fascist dictatorship. They've been financing and amplifying Trump the entire time.

What more could a capitalist want than no competition, low/zero taxes, and not having to worry about the risk that democracy represents to their wealth and power...

Vote. Pressure those around you to vote as well. I had to watch Gore lose, Hillary lose, we can't keep doing this.

Articles like this are going to make people think they don't have to vote. Ffs

This is extremely misleading. Most data-driven outlets are open about saying that a 51% chance of a Harris victory is essentially a coin flip.

And the ones that are based off of gut feelings rather than data? They're less than useless.

But remember, we DO. NOT. LET. UP.

Not until every vote has been cast. Not until it's over. Don't get cocky, this is the narrowest race I've ever seen and by god there is no room for apathy or overconfidence.

I love how the only time @[email protected] gets a positive subject rating is only if its towing the line info (not that its not factual, some times with a bad title) but the other posts where they make great points or even just reporting other facts, and they downvote them into the ground.

Newsweek was putting these headlines out for months saying that Harris was ahead, contrary to many other polls. This has been an agenda they're pushing. Something's not right here.
