[@DickDickstein]

Love how this take is so completely inaccurate. Same way the media tried to make the new mail-in ballots for this election to being interchangeable with absentee ballots. Same way they don't distinguish between legal and illegal votes. Same way they consider illegal immigrants and legal immigrants as a unit to use for arguments on immigration. This one is completely misleading too because the take is LEGAL votes. Bot of the arguments are for the same purpose. "STpop the count" was to wait until they are validated, and the other is to count legal votes. MSM twisted the meaning into something else, and it's not making me optimistic that enough people have learned to find reputable news, and not opinion analysis, or complete disregard for facts as truth by twisting the context enough to create a completely different meaning.

The Deposition Effect: the Stockholm Syndrome's less abusive sibling.

[@FreeScience]

I guess it's the effect of being in a stressful situation and you (and possibly other participants) depend on the other to resolve the problem, so you can get out of the situation. This makes you feel "one" with them, even if you don't actually have the same optimal outcome. But I'm sure some people are immune to that effect and "cause trouble" even if it's not in their best interest, as their disposition towards other is that they are either idiots and wrong, or want to take advantage of you. I think it's a pretty healthy mechanism and it's certainly lacking in society in digital domains.

[@erikbjelke4411]

I LOLed. Thank you.

[@FreeScience]

Though in excess it's related to the "bystander effect", even if it has been disputed what precisely that entails. I think an even more distant related mechanism is the unwillingness to, first accept that you made a bad decision, then admit it to others. It's related in the sense that if you are in a situation with others you have in some way "decided" to be in it, even if your choice was forced by the circumstance you likely feel better to tell yourself that it's your choice.

[@geckohecko]

Polls weren’t actually that far off this year. Biden handily beat Trump in both electoral votes and the popular vote. The only reason that vote even feels close is because of the unusual delay in tabulating all the mail in ballots this year which, unlike most years, were a significant percentage of the votes in the key swing states. They also predicted a close Senate race and, indeed, we have a situation where a Georgia runnoff is going to decide who controls the Senate. Also think of it this way, in any other election where an incumbent president lost by millions of votes and their opponent got over 300 electorsl votes it would be considered a pretty massive loss because of the advantages incumbents normally have in elections. The fact that we’re collectively astonished Trump didn’t lose by even more is really an affirmation of just how truly terrible Trump is as a president and a human being.

[@TerryTerius]

It’s a mixed bag. Some states drastically overstated or understated support for one party/candidate versus the other, some were much closer to the final result. In Ohio and Wisconsin for example, Trump outperformed his polling numbers well beyond the margin of error. Some of the Senate races were equally off, look at SC, and Republicans swept house races that should have been more competitive. So yes, the final result in the House and the presidency may have been the overall expected outcome, but the polls were still pretty misleading. I just can’t interpret what happened as a thorough repudiation of him, and the Republicans were not punished for enabling and supporting his behavior for four years. Granted, the only reason the presidential race appears so close is because of the electoral college.

[@Bodyknock]

@Robert Hunt Psst - no they didn't. Democrats won the Presidency and gained one seat so far in the Senate and still control the House. And if the Senate runoffs in Georgia go badly for the Republicans the Dems will control that too. Not having as huge a landslide victory as some people thought might happen isn't the same as "getting creamed". Winning by less than expected is still winning.

[@Bodyknock]

@Robert Hunt How am I confused? Where am I wrong that the Democrats won the Presidency and gained a seat in the Senate and still control the House with a possible chance at flipping the Senate as well? You seem to be confusing "thrashing" with "didn't win by as much as some Democrats hoped for."

@Robert Hunt Pack the court anyway! Last thing this country needs is 30 years of conservative justices bungling decisions in favor of police immunity, “free and fair” elections, and money =\= free speech. Time to start course correction! EDIT: added quotes to free and fair elections to point out the sarcasm, as it’s obvious that is not the intent of conservatives.

“The polls” is a general statement. The national poll averages nailed Biden’s popular vote of 51% and only underestimated Trump by 1-2% (which is still pretty good for polls). State level polling in MN, NV, AZ, GA, VA, CO, NH were spot on. PA was off by about 3%, which really isn’t bad for polls. The worst poll misses were in ME, IA, and WI (off by 11%, 7% and 7% respectively) while FL, MI, OH, and TX weren’t the worst, but still off a good 5%. It was kind of a mixed bag with polling this year. Down ballot races had worse polling misses than the top of the ticket, but the outcome was still within distribution ranges of probability models.

[@ericslavich4297]

Also, in fairness to the polls, you need to wait for votes to be counted before you solidify your opinion on how well they did. Even over the last two days, 200,000 additional ballots were counted and Biden's lead grew very slightly. By now, the national polling error is arguably in the same range as it was in 2016 (the video says 5%). 538's national polling average had Biden up by 8.4% on November 3. Biden is currently sitting at +3.9% in the nationwide vote count (51.1% to 47.2%), which gives a polling error of 4.5%.

[@creativedesignation7880]

I don't think I will ever understand how people can expect a method to get data, that is 100% dependent on the citizens honesty and willingness to participate and can in no way be verified by objective means, to be completely accurate. For any forecast to be completely accurate is basically nonsense, that is why any credible study/ forecast about anything will include error calculations in the fine print. Oh, wait, I think I understand now, I was expecting for the average person to have any understanding at all about how science works. Well, that is on me.

[@PassingSeagull]

@@richardarriaga6271 That's just a simple truth of sampling and polling - when you ask potentially sensitive questions (political alignment is considered to be potentially sensitive), participants are less inclined to answer honestly or accurately. To explain fully why that is, you would need to dive into individual and personality psychology. The tl;dr is some people just aren't trustworthy of/honest with strangers. That behavior is apparent across political spectrums

Yeah, it's a good thing that Democrats never do that. I mean besides Hillary saying that Biden shouldn't concede, Obama fluffing his deportation numbers despite having %40 fewer interior deportations, Democrats raising concerns that dominion voting machines might flip votes back in 2019, ect. It's not like our first president said anything about how partisanship would lead to these shenanigans. No, the democrats are innocent little angels.

@@SkadooHusky the founding fathers were not demigods or sth. They made the senate and electoral college which is failing for the last 20 years.
