If hell is real and I have to go there - all the devil needs to do to torture me is have Nate Silver read his tweets at me for all of eternity in his ordinary speaking voice. By about the third day - I’d be losing my mind and eternity is a bit longer than that.
I’ve never heard him speak at length but I’m convinced his conversations/interviews are probably pretty boring. I think he’s really his best self (so to speak) when he tweets. I’m convinced he carefully crafts them to be as annoying and as smug as possible. He does a fantastic job.
I used to listen to his podcast a lot during the 2020 election. He’s… Fine. It’s interesting to hear about the polls, but also i realized it was a worthless waste of time feeding my anxiety. I was generally a less happy person from listening to it.
I don’t really get this tweet though. He’s just saying “there are different groups of democrats”? Like the 2016 or 2020 primaries didn’t already show us that? Or are they just trying to stir up tension between the two to drive clicks?
For him - politics is just like sports. He’s saying that leftists like us want the war to end because our team wants the lib team to lose. That’s a moronic take but that’s basically it.

In the self text I said he’s trolling but he’s also 100% a ghoul. Also - people like him are slippery fuckers. He wants a very high level of engagement but he takes care not to get ratioed. He never states things plainly so even though he clearly implies stuff - he can always claim “I didn’t say that.”
He loves to push people’s buttons. Another example is he keeps mentioning Biden’s polling weaknesses and the possibility of Biden getting replaced. That’s Silver’s standard operating procedure. He’s just a numbers guy and the numbers tell him there’s a possibility.
It must make most earnest libs who follow him batty. I wonder if they actually reply to him with stuff like “But Nate are you actually saying Biden should be replaced?” Should is a modal verb and Numbers Nate didn’t use one.
This bozo projecting that Trump/Hilary wasn’t as much of a slam dunk as liberal press thought really did overinflate his head

if I listened to Nate Silver drone for a week I’d come out like the kid from “The Jaunt”
