      Tom Gara Retweeted Washington Post Opinions

      It’s kinda impressive that within a decade of Mitt Romney’s secretly recorded “47%” comment being widely perceived as disastrous and stupid, people now speak publicly that way and think it’s savvy and forward-thinkinghttps://twitter.com/PostOpinions/status/1332692621052039172 …

      The claim is also wildly inaccurate—as in, almost opposite of reality. Trump lost because of that gendered white/suburban shift away from him compared to 2016. (Rest of the electorate mostly moved more towards him). Clickbait>electoral reality I guess.

          Zeynep, would it make sense for, say, @Google (who puts news on its Search homepage) to keep tabs on which outlets run wildly inaccurate stories, and only draw from the others?

          And I don’t think a columnist like her (or a paper like WaPo) would publish something equally empirically wrong about many other demographic groups - this like is publishable because it’s wrong in the “correct” / trendy way, which is so depressing

          Clearly you aren't familiar with the WaPo op-ed columnists, they make the NYT and WSJ look competent.

          Curious. Pre-election polls are often faulted for not having representative enough samples. How are these post-election demographic analyses done?

          Not very well. They miss Trump voters, similar to the pre-election polls. In a pandemic? Even less confidence.

          I think the worst part is that nobody can see that he needed to lose because his entire administration is based on nothing but the abuse of power and removal of basic rights. Bullies in power sucks for everybody, eventually. It's just not always easy to see until it's too late.
