I find it fascinating that so many people here jump to the assumption that the average person doesn’t get that giving a 28% chance of victory doesn’t mean they can’t win

Clearly. Its not a difficult concept.

But those same people are wholly unable to see that all the other verbiage and propaganda that was behind/infused with Silver was, in no short terms, a demoralization campaign against the trump voters

And since they can’t see that all they can do is project their ego to say they aren’t wrong, its that the people who don’t agree with them don’t comprehend very basic statistics
