Since @FiveThirtyEight released its model today, I can finally tweet: I think it’s weird that so many people seem to blame 538, specifically, for failing to predict Trump’s win. They started seriously warning of a popular/electoral split in September 2016, before other observers.
That is not a defense if you are that high-profile in the business of communicating to the public and where the consequences are so important. Others are worse (very true!) is also not a defense. So so so many people made consequential decisions based on refreshing that page.
