the polls showed Hillary was going to trounce Trump pretty handedly.

Not true. She was within the margin of error in the swing states.

I think Fivethityeight's explanation went something like...

Don't confuse 538's model with polls. 538 takes polling data as an input, and then runs simulations that output the odds which side will win.

Polls don't measure the odds a candidate will win, they measure how many people would vote a certain way if the election were held today. Predictive models take that data and do a lot more than simply average the results.

"species" is simply more accurate, and makes multiracial games a little less awkward

These aren't commie blocks, and they usually aren't replacing single family homes. They're most problematic when replacing older multi unit buildings, because they're taking low income housing and replacing it with housing only upper income people can afford (plus a couple low income units to say that they're trying). And they get tax breaks to do this gentrification, after years of neglecting the upkeep on the older buildings it's replacing.

Not full bones, though. Just shards of bone that can seriously injure you

It's also so fucking funny when Trump turns on someone. Can't wait to see it happen with Vance

Angry only because you're exposing that she's a communist sleeper agent. Keep it under wraps until she's in

That Germany, of all countries, could fail to prevent a surge in reactionary antidemocratic politics suggests **there’s something eternal and enduring about the reactionary spirit. **

LMAO. Reactionary antidemocratic politics in Germany?!🧐 I'm shocked
