also why do they say Nate Silver was better than most pollsters when he had it at 75% chance Hillary won . . . you're still wrong! That's like if you get 25% on a test, you failed!

That's not how it works. It's a forecast. See: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/when-we-say-70-percent-it-really-means-70-percent/

You do know you can't block users yet, right?

The only other time I've seen a user act like this much of a sensitive baby, who has to telegraph to everyone that his feelings are soooo hurt that he needs to block users, is on Voat. Did you come here from there?
