Man you guys really hate Nate lmfao

He’s extremely hatable.

I mean fuck that guy

100

Oh yeah we do. He's right down there with Glem Greemwald, Pim Tool, "Man" Walsh but especially that effing Matty for being people I wouldn't piss on to put them out if they were on fire.

He is a deeply stupid man

He works for Peter Thiel. What’s not to hate?

haha ya ain’t seen nothin yet

The guy cooks his models and lies about them, so yeah, fuck him.

Hate is more commitment than I'm willing to make for him, it's more like icy disdain

👆

and a little of the cheap brand pity

Yes

Is the funnier part not that Nate has fewer than 200 likes?

He’s a pompous ass. What’s to like?

Nate Bronze hasn't been right a day in his drunken life

Maybe once, no? ;)

More than. The responses to his opinion pretty much prove that his opinion on BlueSky is more likely right than wrong.

Insult isn’t the same as criticism.

How does it prove he's correct? If I walk into your favorite sports bar and loudly insult all the patrons and those patrons decide to lob insults back at me, it doesn't prove I was right to insult everybody to begin with. That's an asinine way to think about things.

The party needs its own to criticize it to make it better. If the party and its members aren't open to criticism, then it's no longer a liberal party but conservative. The fact there are so many posts on here demonizing Silver only proves his point.

Don't besmirch noble bronze

Nate Diarrhea

How IRON-ic

Dirt. nate dirt.

Nate Quicksand

His account on here he posts nothing but X shit

Nate Copper, ACAB

Dirt has nutrients that help plants grow. We have to go deeper.

*Dig* deeper.

Nate Asbestos.

Nate Lead. Really dense and too much exposure causes brain damage.

Ass worstos

Nate Iron Pyrite

nooo not shiny pretty iron pyrite

Tin? Aluminum?

Arsenic

Deep Substrate Foliated Kalkite

Except he pronounces it aluminiumism

Once. In 2008. The exception that proves the rule.

Actually the one time he was right was January 13, 1978, when he refused to exit his mother’s womb and had to be forcibly removed.

I’m just

oh yeah wanna bet?

Damn right I do! =D

Nate/Noah Smith/MattY are the Triumvirate of Posting Dumb.

i don't even know who that is tbh. Everyone is dunking so I just watch. But it seems that In the sea of pseudoprogressives who advertise their shit opinions online, this Nate is wholly unremarkable

Nate is one NFT line away from full crypto-bro loser

not as much as he deserves

Nate silver Working for polymarket a Peter Thiel invested company. They can all rot and eat worms.

Because he got it right, and they're taking it personally. This isn't insulting their great hero Saint Bernard. He came for THEM. And he hit a bullseye. And, just like the bullies on the right, they can dish it out, but they can't take it.

That’s why he posted it on the Nazi website, where they ain’t, so they don’t reply to him.

can this guy not write english, with commas and correct spellings?

What did he spell wrong?

Posting on Twitter increases funding of an avowed Nazi aristocrat through ad revenue. How can anyone who believes in what hundreds of thousands of US soldiers died for in WW2 continue to post there?

If we could just subtract leftism from leftism then the left would win so much more often guys like cmon

"not that bluesky is important", but everyone keeps talking about it and apparently it also causes the left to lose a lot 😂

Silver jealous of blue.

*taps sign*

The "left" gets tagged with that BS for having principles. The Center-Right and Right have stopped pretending.

Buh-bye Nate.

there !

leftism what is that exactly ? is their a rightism ?

The "normal people" line bsky.app/profile/shel...

Normal people don't even vote.

"If you can subtract voters who are somewhere between liberal and far left, also known as the actual center of the party, the Democrats would win more easily."

He clearly misses the days when the left hung on his every analysis in order to survive Obama's election cycles.

I’m a Marxist-Leninist-Blueskyist

Can I forget I ever saw this original thread or this reply Does such a non-fatal substance exist to make this so I'll take ten

docotr help me I've got an accute case of the blueskyism

A place where leftists can talk with each other and maybe look at libs angrily while maga and other 0 contribution people are banished to keep the conversation where we want. Because fascists love to just disrupt any conversation about progressive policies with whataboutism and thought ending cliché

bluesky is the first time in like 10 years where the social media was not just nazis like thanks trump

Nate apparently believes the characteristics of fascism are normal and more appealing than the characteristics of progressivism.

I wouldn't even be surprised if he and James Carville are getting money from MAGA GOP to push against platform alternatives at this point. They just couldn't be more wrong. Jfc

Mighty persuasive argument here that by subtracting members of a group you make it stronger. This is absolutely the dynamic and inclusive solidarity the Democratic Party is currently lacking.

his mom had such hopes for him...

WTF is "blueskyism?" I've clearly been living under a rock or out on Dagobah next door to Yoda. Understand it I don't.

does he define it? how is it different than leftism? what are the defining credos of Blueskyism?

No idea what Silver is on about. The left winning? Since when has that ever happened? Is he confusing the 'left' with progressives? Because they are NOT the same thing. Very strange, virtually incoherent comment.

Poor Nate, he pissed away any relevance he ever had.

Nate's ego could power Texas.

I was just standing at an intersection with about 400 people all screaming that Trump has to go. I'm sure he would consider us all Blueskyists (a term I might add to my bio) but I think a surprising number of us could easily pass as normal people.

That’s gibberish anyway.

yep, leftism could be great if only it didn't include all these leftists

Use more Brawndo, and less of that gray thinkygoo. You know, the stuff that spills out of broken headgourds after someone has a sad fall.

Specifically, the leftists who make fun of me

me, a very smart boy who deserves more praise

“Normal” people have no idea what he’s talking about.

He just doesn’t want to be on here as he’d quickly hit top 5 most blocked on vqv.app/blocks/

Someone should preemptively create his account for him so we can all get started blocking it.

Betting Nate lost at the table last night.

All the characteristics include reason, conscience, and compassion.

Good thing the rent is free. Otherwise, how would he afford his gambling habit.

"BlueSky was mean to me, and if you remove the supporters that make me question myself I'd be more likely to vote for you"

“Blueskyism” If you slap an ‘ism’ at the end of a word you can make it unappealing to normal people. Watch… “Nate Silverism” Now If I write an op ed on how Nate Silverism is turning off normal people can I get paid millions of dollars too?

Cool story bro. Quick question: Still think Eric Adams is a good pick for the democratic party to run for president?

Pundits should have to retire when they have takes that bad.

Carville, then Silver.

Dude has the worst takes on everything - every fucking thing.

I think Nate Silver is an asshole, he said, blueskyily

As a fellow Blueskylonian, I agree. But reluctantly. I’d much rather be scolding someone.

Same. This Blueskylark needs someone to peck at every day or I’m just not myself.

I give old Nate two years max until he realizes he has to engage with BlueSky to keep up his con

Met Nate 20 years ago - he gave off the "asshole" vibes back then

Says Nate Silver, the guy who has never won Gold in his life

A string of incoherent nonsense that rivals a Felon/Pedo speech.

"If we eliminate a large section of potential voters we'll win more" is a hell of a take

We saw how that campaign worked in 2016.

I've spent my whole life not knowing who Nate Silver is and I know I want to keep it that way.

Nate Silver could sit under one of those mall sized air conditioners and still look like he’s been flop sweating.

Nate Silver is just mad he hasn’t been relevant in years

And yet all the bullshit Xism doesn’t seem to be hurting the conservatives…

I am sick of people who criticize without details. "You do things badly but I'm not going to tell you what those things are" Man shut up

"Bluesky isn't important. Here's a big take on why it's bad and you should avoid it." And, naturally, no specifics on WHY it's bad. Or unimportant.

It's a good job Nate doesn't have a Bluesky account, because he'd end up with NateSilver5.38, because that sequence of numbers is clearly his I.Q. score!

Are you saying you want the left to win more often, Nate? What do you want them to win *for*? What left thing are you hungry for them to accomplish? Why do you care? Or are you just trying to put something over on your bookie? Because I don't believe you have any interest in left policy.

His bookie? He basically is one. A pretty good one. So are actuaries. Data analysis doesn't factor human behavior into the equation.

He's a concern troll, offering advice on how to get elected to people he wants not to get elected. I'm only saying we (not including you if you don't want to be included) should be wary of taking his advice, I don't think it's given in good faith. I hate concern trolls.

I mention his bookie because I think one of his purposes may be to lengthen the odds on his political bets.

"You need to listen to more nazis," is a helluva take

Who the fuck is Nate Silver?

Some baseball stats guy who got lucky with predicting Obama and has coasted on that since then with increasingly unhinged centrist takes

newrepublic.com/article/1557...

There's nothing in the middle of the road but a yellow stripe, roadkill and pundits who really want to go Nazi.

Why is he like this?

Maybe he's salty because he's a few extra tens of thousand of dollars into debt this month from his gambling habit he likes to brag about for god knows what reason...

He's basically saying if progressives would stop being progressive we'd appeal to conservatives.

That may be what he's saying, but Harris tried that with the Cheney tour, and she lost.

Right. I'm not saying it's a good strategy ...just the opposite.

"If both major parties don't suck up to the donors the one that doesn't will win and the donors paying me don't want that, so..."

LOL when poll after poll shows most people favor progressive policies, progressivism is "unappealing to normal people" Sure Nate😂

When your measure of what's appealing to normal people includes election results that elites spent money to prevent progressives from winning, I'm sure that has a way of coloring what you understand normal people to favor- Maybe if Dems spent less money defeating the Left the Left would win more

giving fetch

90 % of my feed is Baseball, awesome dogs, and cute cats. Other 10% is lawyers giving the skinny of the rights we will lose, retro games, and world news. Give me "Blueskyism"(dafuq that is)any day of the week.

"not that bluesky is important but" LMAO

"it's not important, which I will demonstrate by not shutting the fuck up about it every day"

Kinda like how democrats seem to think they can win without the left but every time the lose it’s somehow our fault.

Oh, we're an -ism now? Cool 😎

"Kamala lost because Real Americans hate being asked to add alt-text!"

Weirdly the first time in decades the dems lose the popular vote, they went right. I am sure there's nothing there though

So, normal people aren't progressive? Normal people don't want a living wage? Normal people don't want equality? Normal people don't want privacy? Normal people don't want health care? Normal people don't want... I don't think Nate Silver knows what progressive means

Normal people like Nate? Pass.

So, the way to win elections is to have fewer voters who are inclined to vote for your side? I'll grant that it's a unique strategy.

Blue Skyrim

He's making me tap the meme again. One set of rules for MAGA, another for everyone else.

The hypocrisy of Trumpism is truly mind blowing . . . 🤯

Hypocrisy is not only inevitable in fascism. It’s actually necessary. OPENLY flaunting the difference in how laws are applied is essential in the administration of fascism. The open demonstration of discuss is how they identify each other. It’s how they acknowledge their highest performers.

The democratic party is not a "left" party. What he's saying he wants is already how it is.

The Illiteracy & Incompetence's the Indication that guy's a Nazi-aspirated Dipshit / Propagandist. "Bluesky(ism)"🤨 "My (ever-changing & invalid) definition of 'woke', means anything I hate; Especially anything that Raises Awareness of & is Against Discrimination / Racism / White supremacy"🤔 🤨🙄😒

The degenerate gambler has some thoughts on what normal people find unappealing.

The Left would win more if they were not so good at owning me personally

I'm just going to sit this right here 👇🏿 Nate Silver works for Peter Thiel involved in Poly market. www.vox.com/politics/372...

Interesting. Now I abhor Nate even more. 😝

Fuck off, Nate!

all i see on bluesky is furry porn and gay thirst traps what's Nate Silver complaining about?

I must be following all the wrong accounts

This is just him trying to figure out how to say the t-slur without saying the t-slur.

Someone is starting to panic I think.

No one understands appealing to normal people better than Nate Silver.

He wears a perfectly normal human skin suit and says all the human things.

MAGAY silver or Homonationalism? You decide 😁😁

You know all the policies people like in polls? don’t do that. (I lean back fold my arms behind my head with a smug smile and adjust my political advisor sash)

What does he mean, "we"?

He is not owned he is not owned, corncob, etc

Bitch go back to your online gambling site and leave electoralism to the people it actually affects.

They literally hate anyone to the left of Reagan.

Nate Silver is not interested in giving good advice to the Democrats

Nate is long overdue for a live streamed swirly

Nate Silver got the dummy prize as a Thiel protege. JD gets to be VP and possibly president. Nate gets to be a numbers guy that people are always suspect about, and who is known for his gambling addictions. Talk about the short end of the stick.

The irony of Nate saying this on a platform that is literally more than 3/4ths bots.

The Marxist-Leninist-Blueskyist movement will be the death of the US Left!!

“Also dont write that im mad about it because im not”

Loser try to be relevant.

If we could get over the fact that we don't want to give oxygen to trolls...

Says the guy posting on Xitter.

Those characteristics that are supposedly unappealing to normal people? You guessed it. It’s calling out Nate Silver when he says dumb shit, which to a Pundit Brain, is worse than murder, actually.

They have so little substance they cannot exist without us.

I'd love to know how many sock puppet accounts he has here.

I like the way Revlis thinks!

Stay on Twatter, Nate.

so past his sell-by date. lol

Bet AIPAC Shakur Jeffries got that memo.

This guy is supposed to be a respected political commentator. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nate Silver is like people who cancel their nytimes subs, refuse to read it, then without ever looking at it won't shut up how bad the nyt is. How can Silver presume to badmouth bsky if he never reads it?

He’s not wrong. People are still polite to Bluesky types in public, but desperately try to avoid them. Dinner party patience is at a tipping point.

I mean if people want to avoid me for be unequivocably pro-trans (what he likely means by "Blueskyism") I am fine with that tbh. I dont want to know bigots anyway.

I literally can’t figure out what blueskyism is, even with context?

keeping aligned with the dnc message of "you are not important enough to appeal to but you are still the cause of our failures"

Not even sure what “Blueskyism” means

I’m guessing he’s upset at zooming up the “most blocked on Bluesky” list.

Degenerate gambler telling me where to place my bets. What could go wrong?

I don't even know what he thinks this means?

The Silver Bulletin (2025)

All its ALF Hog? I know @theolalfer.bsky.social is a popular account, but didn't realize he was THAT much of an icon of BlueSky.

He wants to be accepted here so bad it hurts him

I always treasure the advice of a sports tout generalist who cannot write a coherent sentence over the expertise of tenured and respected people. Stick to the over/under, Nathan

Nate Silver is a pompous gasbag.

Such a disappointment as a human.

Nate Silver should pack his Natesilvernism ang go fuck himself!

Every time I accidentally engage in Blueskyism.

😂😂😂

The other unspoken thing here is that Silver and so many others just don't want to have to build up their followers again on another site - plus those are inflated numbers (because of bots) and they won't look quite so impressive here on BlueSky

Hey look, it’s the latest installation of non-Democrats telling Democrats they can win elections by not being Democrats

“I vote for Stephen Miller fascism because Democrats won’t make Bluesky illegal”

Nate Silver, posting in the Social Network owned by the man that did the Sieg Heil salute, twice, in Trump's inauguration, and the home of "Mecha Hitler", thinks Bluesky is too far left.

doesn’t he have a gambling addiction to attend to

Weird that I'm thinking about the problems with Bluesky today and this happens. But my concerns are for a very different set of reasons.

This is wild because the Trump era demonstrates that people will actually go feral for bullying and status quo breaking

“Not important” yet somehow a liability to “The Left” PICK A LANE BITCH!!!

"Normal people". He means White men, like him 🙄

Lol the snowflake 100% is just malding that someone owned him here

They are still desperately pissed that a certain amount of people choose to walk away from their bullshit. They don't believe we had any right to do so.

And they thrived on us to respond for their income and especially Nate kicked off his own site etc and a gambler

Isn't he one of the most blocked accounts here?

He's not in the Clearsky top 20 from what I can tell, but I have no doubt he's way up there

critiquing the “echo chamber” only in friendlier spaces 🥴

Turns out "Blueskyism" just means dunking on Nate Silver.

WTF does Nate Silver consider *normal* people? MAGAts? Reading his shit over the past decade would suggest that the “neo-patriots” who assaulted the Capitol are his *normal people.*

Imagine being known for statistics, and then continuing to not realize that the Democrat Presidential candidate lost more votes from 2020 to 2024 than Trump gained. And that the Democratic candidate *leaned right* and suffered these major losses.

Never Right Nate continues to deliver.

"If only Democrats were Republicans, they'd win" Even if it was technically correct (it isn't) it'd be wrong. What makes Democratic voters not be Republicans is that we don't just cynically go along with whatever is "winning". We have actual principles.

We won't, for example, just throw trans people and migrants under the bus even if it would be more politically expedient.

"Not that Bluesky is important."

To paraphrase Doc Holliday: "There are no normal people, Nate. Just people..."

Jfc what an epic prick

🤣 #NateSilver?

He calls it "Blueskyism" because no one calls it Twitterism, they just call it Nazism.

I take this as a compliment

What do you mean Nate Silver is still around?

He’s talking to the Fascist bots on Twitter, sad.

I read that as Blueskyrim.

You play as robert johnson. You sell your soul to the devil at the crossroad in exchange for blues talent and becoming dragonborn

It's like Skyrim, except if you say you're pro-Skyrim independence but won't support a bigot like Ulfric a bunch of libs tell you you're just as bad as the imperials.

I would probably play that mod!

And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing to trade *all* the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... *our Creation Kit*!

It replaces all the dragon shouts with your character instead yelling about fascism, and it automatically activates whenever an NPC mentions something good that happened to them or makes a joke.

I might learn to mod skyrim because I see the vision and it is incredibly funny

Instead of shouting FOOS RO DA your guy shouts “DO SOMETHING BUT NOT THAT”

I used to be a Blueskyer like you but then I took a mild criticism in my DMs

(me, a centrist, approaching three decades of unmitigated defeat for centrist politics)

Whaaa?

Progressivism is what will save us from the fully lobbied, bought and paid for status quo democrats.

Not if we don't get off our ass and take to the streets

What a nerdy little bitch.

All the things that make progressiveism unappealing like a marked lack of Nazis, sure. The only problem with this place is we don't have enough shitposting on main and I would say be the shitposter I want to see but I am not funny like that.

Can we talk internal sabotage? Quack and double quack

Blueskyism — the world movement of XXI century!!!

If I ever have a chance to give that dude a wedgie, ima do it.

Laughing… and how does Nate define normal people? Uninformed, unpatriotic tv watchers?

Lord knows what he sees on bluesky other than people telling him to f off. But I really don’t think he knows how social media works. Bluesky is certainly not one thing.

What was in Nate's burrito anyway? He's made no sense ever since.

Imagine denying blueskyism before nazi-ism.

Don't you have an election to be wrong about Nate

Same energy bsky.app/profile/numb...

The irony being musk removed all safety from Twitter and it’s now filled with pedophile accounts actively selling cp or trying to fabricate cp by targeting minors on the platform But if the pedocons didn’t project their own mental deficiencies they would have no arguments

Sick burn

Somewhere there is a Smithers saying "genius, sir"

Maybe that's what went out the white house window, Donnie's shitty trousers

Is Elon referencing the time he called the cave diver that saved those children in Thailand a "pedo guy" because he hurt his ego?

Like, if we suck so bad why are they mad we don’t post there? I don’t whine about Truth Social We’re simultaneously irrelevant and destroying the Democratic Party

I am a registered Democrat but also not a total moron. I have a trans kid I adore, a kid who's a military MP, and I care about the homeless, poor & addicted. Not sure how to label myself these days, but I like to be where Nazis are not. Tax the rich and protect the dolls.

"Schrodinger's Leftist" is second only to Pedocon theory in precision

It’s like the psychos in Bird Box but for a website

You mean the enemy is at once insurmountably strong yet also absurdly weak? Wonder if someone ever wrote anything about that

projecting much?

Wise advice from the dude with other smart opinions bsky.app/profile/numb...

🤣🤣🤣

The funny thing about this is virtually everyone in power in the Democratic Party came to the same conclusion. Biden and his White House and all congressional leadership spent years deliberately elevating Adams’ profile, claiming that he would help the party.

is he assuming crime and being hated by leftists are now a pre requisite to be president

I mean that has worked a bunch of times.

I mean he might have a point there 😅

I’m concerned that these have become prerequisites.

I believe I can safely speak for everyone in that we all appreciate your tenacious posting memory.

He said what about Eric "Bribe Me" Adams?

Is Nate right in the ear of Chuck Schumer though? Would explain a lot.

It was Kamala Harris.

Lmao

Like Nate Silver has a fucking clue what a “normal” person is..

WITF does that even mean? What does he think he’s reading or experiencing on Bsky? He’s so full of shit

Hey Nate, if you're so concerned, take a look at the GOP propaganda network Fox News and then get back to us.

Hm what I see from the left on Bsky is insisting that it is fascism to throw trans people away, no matter who says it. I am absolutely gonna keep hold of that particular moral position.

👓: Pretty sure I can make friends and let my brand take off without trying to sell to Nazis, thanks, Nate Silver.

Man.... and I was going to see him in the jazz club this week... no, wait... that's Duke Silver.... nevermind.

I think he means ‘intellectualism’ Which is fascinating. When I think of the narrative saying Dems need to go ‘blue collar’ and peel away Trump voters, cui bono? I don’t discount manning all fronts, but to me there is a layer of minimizing critical thinking/science/experts/acedemics Who benefits?

Just the idea that Nate Silver is “normal people”, lol

definitely should be taking advice from Known Winner nate silver

Far worse is Silverassholeism

"Democrats would win more elections if they yelled at me less"

WTF is "blueskyism"? I'm going to take a guess, and if it's so bad, then how has the right's version of it been winning fucking elections?

the funny part is weird Nate’s belief that he understands what normal people think and feel

If being able to block whoever, great welcome packs, and a lack of algorithm-driven Mazi posting is leftist, count me in...

So sayeth the Centrist pollster. XD

buskyism

Nate Silver can kiss my dog's ass. Dog:

All I want to do here is (to paraphrase another post I saw here) is to post about what makes me happy, and share great art (re: Jandek) with the world. And also do a ton of Oldhead shitposting too, admittedly.

GTFOH NS!

He's not even Nate Bronze at this point, he's like Nate Zinc

nickel plated zinc, the kind that gives you a rash from that ring you bought at the flea market.

So ignore a big piece of the base, so the can continue losing to the likes of Trump?

Guy that thought Eric Adams was the future of the Democratic Party and a presidential politician is my absolute read whenever I want to know what to do to win.

i mean okay i would define "blueskyism" as a very specific sort of Extremely Online liberal centrism that supports Newsom. so he's honestly not wrong there? he just fails to recognize that he is part of said group

I would bet a good amount that what Silver means are the leftists who swear we will not vote for Newsom cuz he is anti trans. Apparently we are scaring them. Good.

First they laugh at your platform, then they scream at your platform, then they buy your platform.

I am not now, and have never been, a blueskyist. However if called upon by the Committee, I am willing to name those whom I know to be radical blueskyists

does this gay autistic think he’s normal people like i’m also a gay autistic, but i’m not out here pretending i’m normal people

At least you’re not a degenerate gambler.

Minorities don’t like being marginalized so they adopt the rhetoric of the powerful.

he's not allowed to do that he must conform, lifestyle not within rules boundary beep bop error

ah, he has the hetero autism

Whoa whoa whoa. We don’t claim him either. Whatever’s wrong with him isn’t hetautism either

No, he’s a guy trying to stay relevant in the face of continuing to be wrong.

that'd be me, but i manage to do it less toxically than Wrong John Silver

You win the internet today with that.

yep. immediate follow.

Nate Silver is autistic???

He's a dice autist who everybody listened to too many times and it broke him

what’s a dice autist? obsessed with numbers?

He's a statistician

but the implication is he has really strong feelings about statistics?

Yes, that's the implication

I mean, he’s never said so but he obviously is

imma take your word for it, my casual, incomplete , probably wrong experience says there’s evidence

Words like this are a sure sign that you are too online, please talk to a doctor before using "Blueskyism"

If they didn't have the memories of goldfish pundits would realize that their criticisms of bsky echo Yogi Berra, but with less awareness "It's so crowded nobody goes there anymore"

It's wild how Nate thinks not wanting to interact with Nazis makes us not normal. 😂😂🙄

Every four year the guy from the other party gets elected because both parties' policies are shit and disliked by the majority of people, and then you pay some clowns and reprobates to explain how that's not a systemic problem and it's actually the fault of some bad individuals with no power

He actually used to point out that the Progressive budget was balanced. peoplesbudget.org

I may be a bit biased, but I thought it was pretty good. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
