return2ozmaRight-wing media melts down as Spencer Pratt sinks in vote count
lennybirdWhat’s the latest on the Governor’s race? I read Becerra surged forward due too crypto bros and righties, any truth? I was pretty supportive of Steyer
CatoblepasGive it until Tuesday or Wednesday, they’re still counting votes. Right now Becerra is first and Steyer is in third, but could catch up and make it to the general.
StarikPolling gamblers isn’t the same thing as polling voters 🤷♂️
Your comment was based entirely in treating gambling as a way of determining the likelihood of Steyer making it to the general, I don’t particularly feel like there should need to be a justification for my opinion when that’s essentially making stuff up, lol. But since you asked, I’m basing that on the fact that around 30% of the vote remains uncounted and actual news agencies haven’t called it yet, which means they think there’s still a possibility. This used to be how we thought about election results when they were being tallied in the distant year of 2024.
No they aren’t, their gamblers. They are gambling. Don’t pretend they are making an informed decision. Maybe there are some who think they can data themselves into getting rich, but the vast majority, at best, read one article from a news source they like and take it as gospel.
Just look up some of the giant “failed” predictions these markets have had. That should make it pretty clear they aren’t some sort of a source of truth, at best they are ways for insiders to exploit insider knowledge to make a buck on longshot odds.
