The First Presidential Debate - Bart Simpson vs Lisa Simpson - THUNDERDOME - General

[QUOTE=Judas;51114293]"Less people voted for me, therefore I have won" - donald trump[/QUOTE] You're missing the point. A small loss now will boost him in the long run.

[QUOTE=Chonch;51114332]Yeah, maybe if you can't account for and correct them. This is a skewed sample that they were totally aware of, and yet they still post their poll like it's "THE results." Good statisticians and data scientists know that if a statistic isn't validated to the best of their ability, it should be thrown in the trash to avoid tainting people's minds with inaccurate data.[/QUOTE] that's funny, I didn't realize you were a statistician. Where did you go the school? Ivy league, I'm sure.

[QUOTE=smurfy;51114325]Wow, Ted Cruz really drank the kool aid[/QUOTE] I had the slightest bit of respect for him for sticking up for himself after the convention. Like, a bead of sweat on a pinhead level of respect. And now it's gone.

[QUOTE=Killer900;51114309]Thanks for the condescending comments guys keep it up. Keep voting in blatant corrupt idiots then, you all reap what you sow. You're meant to be permanbanned anyway so idgaf what you think ever.[/QUOTE] no seriously, start the revolution unless youre far too comfortable with your cushy life to doit though

[QUOTE=space1;51114313] I mean hey, millionupon millions of dollars that should be spent on our education are instead going to school board members, superintendents, etc. and not the schools, but somehow that isn't considered embezzlement? I mean he's partially right, but he does word it in one of the dumbest manners possible.[/QUOTE]This country is a fucking joke going right down the toilet and you know that, it's not worded dumb at all.

[QUOTE=smurfy;51114325]Wow, Ted Cruz really drank the kool aid [url]https://www.facebook.com/tedcruzpage/posts/10154486612677464[/url][/QUOTE] This man had his entire family personally insulted by Trump more than once

Has /pol/ claimed trump triumphantly "cucked Lester" yet?

[QUOTE=Joekirk;51114321]Let the record state that this was posted after the debates ended. With that said, I still feel like Toxxing. If Hillary Clinton isn't the next president of the united states, ban me until next election season / for 4 years. If that fool gets into the white house, I'm going to have a lot worse shit to worry about than being booted off here. :toxx:[/QUOTE] Accepted.

[QUOTE=Killer900;51114342]This country is a fucking joke going right down the toilet [B]and you know [/B][B]that,[/B] it's not worded dumb at all. What can I've been holding off on it for a while[/QUOTE] C-cmon guys, you all agree, r-right???

[QUOTE=Loriborn;51114346]Has /pol/ claimed trump triumphantly "cucked Lester" yet?[/QUOTE] pol is busy trying to get the mods to delete all the hillary shills invading their safe space

trump said "i have the temperament to be president" and the audience fucking laughed at him he's finished lmao

[QUOTE=Loriborn;51114346]Has /pol/ claimed trump triumphantly "cucked Lester" yet?[/QUOTE] They're too busy losing their shit.

[QUOTE=hoodoo456;51114349]C-cmon guys, you all agree, r-right???[/QUOTE]I was only referring to him in that context, not everyone else.

Killer900, You're the only person here (that I know of) who's legitimately saying revolution against the US government is anything near a valid idea Like someone else said, look at Venezuela or Syria for a country that's actually at the level you think the US is at. We're in fucking amazing shape compared to how many countries on the planet? and here you are whining that everything isn't perfect so REVOLUTION WHEN

[QUOTE=Killer900;51114309]Thanks for the condescending comments guys keep it up. Keep voting in blatant corrupt idiots then, you all reap what you sow. You're meant to be permanbanned anyway so idgaf what you think ever.[/QUOTE] so how'd you manage to create your facepunch account when you were only 3 years old? seriously if you think that america being a corrupt oligarchy state in democracy's clothing is new you need to read a history book

USA really needs to ditch past the post voting, probably won't ever happen but it would avoid shit fights like this.

Please let me post the PM's from our resident Trump supporter Mods can i have your permission?

[QUOTE=Killer900;51114354]I was only referring to him in that context, not everyone else.[/QUOTE] No offense, dude, but I think you'll feel better if you call it a night and come back when you're not too angry to think straight. I get the point you're trying to make, but you're making it very poorly. In all honesty, you're coming across as an idiot right now.

[QUOTE=Sobotnik;51114352]trump said "i have the temperament to be president" and the audience fucking laughed at him he's finished lmao[/QUOTE] He's gonna be clenching those little fists over that one all night.

[QUOTE=joshuadim;51114363]Please let me post the PM's from our resident Trump supporter Mods can i have your permission?[/QUOTE] Is it actually against the rules to post PM's in the first place? I don't think it is

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;51114338]that's funny, I didn't realize you were a statistician. Where did you go the school? Ivy league, I'm sure.[/QUOTE] I did not go to Ivy League, but I did study econometrics alongside statisticians. [QUOTE=1legmidget;51114344]They disclosed the skew That's literally what they're supposed to do If they release their raws stripped of personal info people could apply models or whatever to their data, but so far they've done what they're supposed to do Admitting a flaw in your data doesn't mean you discard the whole data set[/QUOTE] This is a very serious disclosure that may be viewed by millions of people; I think it requires a few extra measures of scrutiny besides "our sample group was skewed, but here's the results anyway" because they wanted to get their numbers out before anyone else.

I'm actually quite calm, just got home from work an hour ago and watched a little of the debate of Youtube. Did eat some Shitbell™ so maybe that's what it is.

I was lurking on a Reddit comment section for a News article describing Trump's statement over how not paying taxes "makes [him] smart", and saw this great comment which made an excellent point: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/54ogs7/trump_brags_about_not_paying_taxes_that_makes_me/d83o2ng[/url] (Emphasis is mine) [QUOTE]Watching Trump supporters act like he is the knight that will bring the corrupt system down while he admits that he cheated that system repeatedly. [B]Trump is using you to get what he wants, and then he will discard you. Just like the contractors he refused to pay, just like the employees who lost their jobs at his failed casinos, just like everyone who gave a dime to Trump University.[/B] You are being played.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;51114351]pol is busy trying to get the mods to delete all the hillary shills invading their safe space[/QUOTE] I've always found it ironic that the people who most talk about "freedom of speech", who mock "safe spaces" and "echo chambers" are themselves the most guilty of suppressing or silencing dissenting opinions.
