2020 Democratic presidential primary thread, pt 3: life is very long

The exit polls run by the Washington Post in Texas (just to take an example) have Biden winning women by 6 points and Sanders winning men by 1, which sounds like a Biden lead of 2 or 3.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/exit-polls-2020-super-tuesday-primary/

Final results have Biden up by 4.5%. So I'm not sure I see the evidence for this huge discrepancy that person is claiming.

xxpost not sure how the UN does the numbers but this interprets Biden getting 17% in the Vermont exit poll and 22% in the vote tally as a +26.1% discrepancy. Most people view a 5% difference between poll and vote as a margin of error

The site the numbers are coming from is called TDMS Research, and it's a blog run by a dude named Theodore de Macedo Soares.

It would probably be a good idea if we didn't do this

i'm very skeptical of that "analysis"

i guess i'm an old school media/journalism gatekeeper kind of person *ducks* but i don't trust a tweet with 331 likes from someone i've never heard of

that's me sorry

one cool thing that journalists do is cite their source, for example

This post brought to you by FB Political Consulting

I've consulted all over the world and have a 100% succes rate (33% in Denmark + 33% in the UK + 33% in the US)

It's a funny sounding foreign name can't be true

the dude said the same stuff about Trump v. Clinton election and 4 Senate races in 2018.

Theodore?

the internet is bad now

just the sheer volume of total uncorroborated, unsubstantiated bullshit passed around either in panic or in bad faith, it's mind-boggling

That twitter account has also credulously retweeted a bot account that is pushing the story that Cuba has developed a cure for the coronavirus

In summary thanks as always, alphabet

theo macedo? could produce a jazz record like nobody's business so I'll trust his stats

camarada abecedario loves a bit of disinformation

even the guy who first tweeted the data followed it with this

NOTE: I did not run these numbers myself, so I am not speaking to their validity. My goal with this tweet is to raise awareness so others run the numbers as well. MSM would never cover this. Similar things happened in 2016. We need more verification.

*bursts through the door, out of breath*

did you all hear that the election was totally rigged for biden? some guy did some major analysis and there are numbers to back it up. the UN agrees too, it's fucked up

MSM would never cover this

Using exit poll totals compiled by election researcher Theodore de Macedo Soares, seen in the table below on this page as well as available at this link, compared to an ongoing tally of raw votes totals posted at this link by Dave Wasserman of Cook Political Report, here is the discrepancy that has caused the suspicions of what Trump himself would call a “rigged election.”

Oliver Stone needs to make a funky film about, with Danny De Vito and Susan Sarandon. Ilxors will hate it.

i would like to encourage fellow ilxors to act like journalists and doublecheck sources before posting things that are bullshit

Forget it Brad, it's Alphabet City

Lol that is such a horseshit statistical analysis. Nobody can even produce the exit poll dude is referring to

Looks like we have lots of lefties into fake news too

who wouldn't believe that good old Teddy "Bed" Sores?

xp. it was ever thus

i love trump has had direct contact with multiple covid-19 positive people and he's standing negative 6 inches away from everyone and patting everyone on the back, etc

he's gotta have the vid right?

wait this is the dem thread sry

oops my bad too.

it's all one thread, basically

It really isn’t

FUCK YOU ICE CUBE

Sorry right thread

In a bizarre, meandering livestream put on by Joe Biden's campaign today, he forgets what year it is and when, if he doesn't lose, he would be in office.

At another point, he seemingly forgets he's on a live stream and walks out of frame. The feed cuts away to a logo instead. pic.twitter.com/yM2zFoBfhv

somebody get poor joe some help

Nurses are going to get sued because they forgot to restrain Joe and he got up in the middle of the night.

Biden vid very reassuring

:-/

I wish I could just laugh at this but I’m so angry.

‪Democrats are going to keep denying the obvious and Trump is going to take full advantage of it. ‬

Like, the one thing Trump is indisputably good at is being a bully.

They must want to lose, right?

Corona virus 2020

we've got to do what we can to torpedo Biden and elevate Bernie

it's hopeless, but let's try

Biden now endorsing Warren’s bankruptcy plan

interesting how my conspiracy brane can believe the DNC/media is torpedoing bernie but not using biden as a trojan horse

"fake news"

serious question: at what point do we just stop considering this election legitimate https://t.co/ufqcnjPVez

If we stop considering this a real election, would you please stop posting about it?

Other than that, can we please please please get threadbanning to work again?

Don't ask me to do anything I won't listen to you.

You're my son and when I say 'clean your room' YOU WILL CLEAN YOUR ROOM!

does killfile still work? please tell me it does
