Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could wake up and it is 2008 again and McCain is president? Man, that would be amazing. The past 8 years of this nightmarish existence will be over in a flash.

That doesn't defeat the fact that it was less accurate than 538 when 538 was at its least accurate.

Good news, everyone! The election is over!

The fate of Witney hangs in the balance. Candidates include a crazed immigrant determined to destroy British culture and way of life (Larry Sanders of the Green Party), Emilia Rose Arno of the One Love Party, and the people's favourite David Laurence Bishop of the Bus-Pass Elvis Party.

It's all over bar the counting...

ND, how has Obama made your life worse?

I bet ND thought Paul the Octopus was prescient, too.

(Disregard the title, Cracked's title writers are legendarily stupid.)

ND if you wake up in 2008 and McCain is President be sure to say hi to Walter Bishop for me. Obama wasnt sworn in til 2009 lol, and McCain lost by a fuckload.

@Brainbomb: That was actually pretty funny lol.

@Ghug: Um, pretty much everyone is suffering because of the horrible 8 years we have just lived through.

I'm not

See thats why you are an alright guy ND. You get those rare sci - fi pop culture references. Lol.

K, well I'm not either really, but people are.

"Name one concrete example" "Um, just a general feeling really"

-health care cost/premiums
-Foreign policy disaster
-loss of American prestige in the world
-domestic violence/unrest
-the rise of partisan bickering (obama's fault)
- many other reasons

I dont think partisan bickering is/was obamas fualt. Congress has a 11% approval rating. Obamas is nearly 60%. Someone sucks at their job...

"-loss of American prestige in the world"

Tell it to literally the rest of the world.

I'll freely admit to not being the sharpest tool in the box, but can someone explain to me this magical universe where either
(a) if Trump wins, this prediction model is right and it has been right since 1996 and we should have known that it would correctly predict a Trump win because it has been correct five times using data going back from 1912 (regardless of voter fraud, demographics changes, etc)
or (b) if Trump loses, then the election has been rigged because the damn Democrats have been rigging election since forever and the results are invalid (but they are valid if Trump wins).

It must be wonderful to live in a universe where regardless of whatever happens, you are always right and there has always been evidence that you are right. Please make this universe my universe again also.

A mod sent me this comic in response to my post:

sigh

That would be walrus

12:26AM: ND says "pretty much everyone is suffering"

12:29AM: ND says "well I'm not...really"

Go fuck yourself ND. You really are the most disgusting hypocrite cunt.

Proof electronic voting machines are rigged!
He testified under oath, passed a polygraph test, and the implicated politician refused to do one.

The only difference from this time is exit polls have been cancelled. Can anyone tell me why they are cancelling exit polls?
This is an outrage!!!!11!1one

I try to have a civil discussion and then Jamie... says what he just said.. to me.

I mean that is just disgusting language. utterly disgusting language Jamie.

He's British, so he perceives it as far less disgusting.

I'm going to ask people from using that kind of language. If you feel that you have to use that kind of language, feel free to go elsewhere. Despite how ridiculous I may think ND's position is on this issue, he has been civil.

To that point, Jamiet, you have no room to call anyone a hypocrite. You complain and bitch and moan whenever someone says something you don't agree with or when they spew vile and disgusting language on the forum (there is a long history in the forum and in mod emails and in emails to me), but that doesn't seem to bother you when you do exactly just that. You admonish people when they use ad hominems but that doesn't prevent you from doing exactly that and worse. You resort to these tactics when it fits you and claim the moral high ground when you please.

I hope the forum will unanimously condemn Jamie for his language. I am very offended.

crosspost with Zultar. Thank you Zultar.

I hope the forum will show equal disdain for Trumps treatment of women as they do Jamies treatment of ND. Such language and negativity hurts me.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but Jamie's never groped me. (Although I did black out drunk in London once but I doubt he was there stalking me)

What I can't wrap my mind around is how the Republican party, with eight years to prepare for Hillary, managed to so completely shit the bed.
