Remember how I keep saying that the progressives in the bubble keep driving everyone to the left by claiming the DNC is a right wing party? That it's a manipulation tactic they use to drive moderates off off the rails and into Commie Crazytown?

Found it in the wild, just in case people didn't believe me.

The thread of which is amusing.

Imagine taking a look at politics in the past 40 years and thinking "Yes, clearly what has happened is a MASSIVE cultural shift to the right."

That's the brainwashing they're doing to people in the bubble. A complete denial of reality to justify a constant, eternal, neverending push to ever-leftward politics.

Hello Darkness

They're starting the reverse fraud narrative now.
"she says she tried to vote for Trump twice in the 2016 election."
tried... 2016. Yeah.
 
Bit off topic, but I found it interesting

On this topic, my boomer parents had a very interesting opinion on this.

They think Trump enjoys the position he's in right now. That he's living the dream of his life. And when someone enjoys their job? Well, of course they're not gonna age.

I actually cannot find anything to disagree on that.
 
How do we know the state legislatures won't cuck out? That they won't go "fuck it" in the opposite direction and tell the electors to vote Biden, because "muh the people voted"? The noble losers haven't gone away.
They almost certainly would cuck out in this fashion because they don't want to be looked at as being responsible when the untrained chimps burn the major cities in their state to the ground and then demand the government rebuild it.
 
I'll just make sure to stockpile more ammo since it's probably going to get regulated in some fashion.

Beto about to take your guns.

military ballots

Didn't he lose the military votes for him calling them "suckers" yet voted for biden when he called them bastards even though beau was in the military????

The worst part is when you have enough people who are convinced that making sure elections are held cleanly is RACISM

She did not use super predator knowing that's what Hillary and Joe labeled black people.

Can trump still win without GA?

He needs ga, Pa, AZ and either Michigan or Nevada. Basically he needs all the swing states where the dominion machines glitched just to get by.

Awe I passed the war of 1812.

Who would hold them responsible? Leftists? You mean the same ones burning the cities down? And that's not even getting into Trump crushing them if they try if he wins again.

Wouldn't that be Biden's role as a gracious loser? To call the looters and thugs out and say "Let's make peace with the other side"? I mean...he did it once already...

You mean the same leftists that want to put them in gulags for wrongthink? You do realize they are just as affected by a Trump loss as Trump and they aren't so suicidal as to lose with grace when their livelihood and family are unironically at stake.
 
Okay, review of the Benford guy video having watched the whole thing. Given that it was sitting at no.24 on YouTube's trending list I felt it worth digging in.

I'm an amateur logician, so please do chip in if there's something I've missed or misunderstood.

It's only accurate if there are multiple orders of magnitude, i.e. 10s, 100s and 1000s.
This guy's analysis centres around Chicago specifically, which does not show enough orders of magnitude to apply. Out of 2069 total, only 7 precincts had <100 votes (i.e. 10s), and only 20 had >1000. Therefore Chicago city isn't an appropriate candidate for Benford. His reasoning for examining Chicago is that it was the sample used for a widely-circulated graphic:

Screenshot 2020-11-12 at 16.03.10.png

An actual quote from that 2011 paper he cites:
"If a competetive two candidate race occurs in districts whose magnitude varies between 100 and 1000 the modal first digit for each candidate's vote will not be 1 or 2 but rather 4, 5 or 6"
Fine, makes sense, but Biden's results still don't conform to that. That isn't addressed.

He says 'you can't just use Benford's law to look for fraud in elections'.
I don't most people here are just using Benford's law to decide there is fraud. Admittedly, it could be the basis for faulty reasoning through confirmation bias for some people.

Checking if the last 2 digits are randomly distributed is another good way to spot if something unreasonable is happening,
He compares the Chicago Biden data and Trump data to Pi to establish the randomness of their last 2 digits. He states that the Biden data is random but the Trump data is not:

He says he considers this 'indication that there is something suspicious going on' but then reveals this as a teachable moment (god I hate that phrase), because actually Trump received a much higher share of tallies that totalled two digits, so the data isn't saying what it appears to say. His lesson is:
Don't take anyone's word for it, always verify the data, they've probably got an agenda they're trying to push.

Overall, I'm going to say that he's not lying or wrong as such, but he is deflecting and misleading. Same way the factcheckers mislead, using weasel words and addressing topics tangential to what they claim to be debunking. Eg:

-He stated that Chicago isn't a suitable candidate for Benford, but does not examine any data that would be, nor does he suggest any more relevant data sets for viewers to examine. I'd guess state level, using county tallies might be more appropriate, particularly in a state with both very low and very high population counties.

-'you can't just use Benford's law to look for fraud in elections'. 'Just' is a weasel word here.


Finally, and you can completely disregard this as personal opinion, I find his facial expressions and tone of voice interesting. Lots of expressions of contempt and disgust, and a fair bit of smirking. I've looked at another video of his on a non-contentious issue, and while he is generally a bit condescending, the overall range of facial expression appears quite different.

Finally, finally, I was wrong. That semi-literate quote did come from the 2011 paper he linked. My apologies @Zero Day Defense.
