Then he straight up talked trash about us military & held back on giving us money (one of the smallest raises we ever saw).

Herbivore 1,122 Posted October 11, 2024 3 hours ago, RLLD said: She could care less about the Jews. What she cares about is winning and being in power. And if their math suggests that winning Michigan delivers that outcome she would sacrifice every Jew alive to get it. They do not really have the Jewish vote as it stands, given their allowance for terrorists to espouse vile anti semitic views. In the end it will boil down to what lies to tell to manipulate the right sets of voters to deliver power. You say this often, "the left only cares about winning and being in power". As if politicians on the right don't. I think you are either disengenuous or naive here. I don't think the jewish vote is gonna go the way want to believe. FWIW, see attached. Says its Dem leaning poll group. I didn't search long, it was the only one that was from the last few days. Others were from a month ago, but without clicking in, looked like similar %s. I don't put much into polls, just didn't have much else to go on. The %s they present align with historical figures. again fwiw, if you have any other polls or whatever, share. https://www.jta.org/2024/10/09/politics/democratic-poll-shows-71-of-jewish-voters-in-swing-states-favor-kamala-harris 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerryskids 6,695 Posted October 11, 2024 I haven't been following all of the poll stuff, mostly because I think there is no value in any particular value. Instead, there is value in group movement of polls. Anyway, and I apologize if this was discussed, but Nate Silver recently joined the advisory board of Polymarket. I learned this from a pod about the election of Freakonomics, which is if anything anti-Trump, that's not the point. The point is that Polymarket may have more predictive value than people think. Quote Polymarket, a venture-backed predictions market, has hired statistician and journalist Nate Silver as an adviser while it looks to build out more forecasts around news events. Why it matters: More Americans are flocking to prediction markets to interpret crazy news cycles. And more news outlets are beginning to cite prediction odds for the outcome of news events, particularly the election. "Probabilities really matter when you're trying to make plans," Silver said in a phone interview. He cited the dilemma facing Democrats and Joe Biden about whether the president should remain on the ticket as an example of how high-stakes decisions can be determined using probability calculations. How it works: Prediction markets allow users to buy shares in the outcome of an event. Polymarket is in growth mode and doesn't yet monetize the hundreds of millions of dollars in trades happening across its platform, Polymarkets vice president David Rosenberg told Axios. Eventually, it will probably charge a fee for those transactions. Between the lines: Founded in 2020, Polymarket has quickly risen to become one of the world's most popular prediction markets for U.S. elections, but it doesn't yet allow U.S. users to make trades off of its predictions. "All of the trading is happening outside the U.S.," Rosenberg said. "But we are exploring offering a regulated U.S. product soon." By the numbers: The firm, which has raised $70 million in venture capital since launching in 2020, produces more than 80% of global predictions made around U.S. elections, by its estimates. Over $260 million worth of predictions related to the outcome of the 2024 election have been made on its platform in the past four years, per Rosenberg. More than $400 million of trades have occurred on its platform in 2024, including $8 million of trades made on the day of the first U.S. presidential debate last month. Zoom out: While Polymarket is experiencing a massive engagement spike around the U.S. election, it also sees a fair amount of trade volume around other news stories, Rosenberg said. Last year, the outcome of Sam Altman's fate at OpenAI was a popular prediction trade, he noted. The big picture: The rise in prediction markets mirrors a broader adoption of sports betting and online gambling, which have become more popular amid regulatory rollbacks and advances in blockchain technologies. Silver said he expects more of the investor class to leverage prediction markets to assess the risk of politics on their businesses. What's next: Silver will continue to author his Substack newsletter in addition to advising Polymarket. He is also working on a new book. https://www.axios.com/2024/07/16/nate-silver-polymarket Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes. That may mean more to Tim than them actually predicting things accurately. Since he's already discounted what they say because he doesn't like it. True. Good point.
