What the closing of 538 tells me is that it was no longer an effective piece of propaganda. Over time, after so many failures, people stopped buying what ABC News was selling: Hey, this is objective number crunching! This is science! No, really. Where is everyone going?
Talk about propaganda! 538 always seemed to do pretty well crunching the poll numbers I thought. They had 2024 50/50, from what I can see on RCP looks about the same. Time for Silver to make a comeback!
This is just a period of adjustment to Make America Great Again and bring manufacturing back to the USA.
After this period of adjustment has concluded, there will be an expansive pool of broken and destitute workers available, ready to work in near slavery conditions, in the fabulous new factories, the best new factories in the world I’m told.
