BlueSky is Pritzker country.

Nate Silver, the guru of polling who is super successful at helping Democrats win, says the following: “Electorally speaking it's more important for Democrats to avoid Blueskyism that leftism. Not that Bluesky is important but it embodies all the characteristics that make progressivism unappealing to normal people. If you could subtract those the left would win more often.”

Seems a very weird thing for Silver to say. On Blue Sky I read more support for democracy not radicalism. We are in trouble if a pluralistic democracy, green energy, vaccines and affordable housing/childcare/eldercare are considered radical ideas.

I’m still surprised all the time that maga hasn’t infested this place. They keep their heads down here for sure. Pretend to be far left to troll since it lasts longer for them.

Nate Silver has been WRONG since one time years ago when he was right in one election. He likes to play a spoiler, hedge his bets, straddle the fence. He simply takes numbers of other aggregate polls, no original work.

Silver talks Bull. Only problem is that Bluesky isn't big as It should be.
