Don't look too closely at Trump's cabinet, otherwise you'll realize there might be at least one more Wall Street president.

The actual polls themselves never bore out that 99% figure, especially the final polls. 50/50 would have been a much better prediction figure based on what the polls were showing.

So yes, I tend to believe scientifically conducted polling. It's the pundit's attempts at interpretation that I have a harder time believing.

The "same polls" pegged Clinton winning nationally around 3%. Lo and behold, she won the national popular vote within the margin of error on that. The final-day polls had a virtual tie in all of the "shocking" swing states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan; Ohio was solid Trump in the polls for the last month and both Florida and North Carolina were big question mark tossups.

No matter how much you folks like to say the polls were rigged and completely wrong, they weren't. Pundit interpretation of the polls was wrong, absolutely. The polls themselves did a pretty good job of presenting the snapshot of public opinion on Election Day.

No, not ignorance. I'm perfectly well aware of your retarded conspiracies. I just think they're the soft-brained ravings of lunatics.

I would wager I have more of a clue than people who are convinced there are grand shill conspiracies afoot in on Reddit.

Do you really see evil agendas behind the moderators on a web forum? Who's delusional here?

CTR, bots, shills, blatant censorship of anything that goes against the pushed narrative.

And you call me delusional.

Dan Lauzon, a spokesman for Finance Minister Bill Morneau, said no decisions have been taken and that any moves would not be made in isolation. The employee-sponsored health care tax exemption is being scrutinized as part of a sweeping review of 150 tax credits worth about $100 billion a year in foregone federal revenue.

Do you?

It couldn't be that large swaths of the American population dislike the incoming President. No, it has to be a disinformation campaign coordinated by evil Nazi mods.

Much like Iraq, the U.S. military would roll in and take over in two days. Much like Iraq, the ensuing guerrilla war would send a lot of Americans back in flag-draped coffins.

Canadian campuses see an alarming rise in right-wing populism by VelvetJustice in canada

[–]IAmTheRedWizards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure most college kids are concerned with getting high, getting off, and getting their work done.

Meanwhile, Reddit just uses this to confirm it's own biases about how awful university campuses must probably be. You're an Islamofascist apologist SJW cuck! No you're a Trump-loving rapist who hates minorities!

Nobody cares about your little internet shitfights guys.

Sure, but if we're going chronologically Ontario would like all the manufacturing money we siphoned your way back first.

Because not even the NDP can tell you what they stand for right now. Andrea Horwath's campaign was a direct antecedent of Mulcair's "muddle through the middle and half-ass some vaguely left populism" federal campaign.

Somewhere there is a person aware of this song being a hit but unaware that the band achieved much more significant achievements afterwards.
