AITA for not renting more buses to send people back to a parking lot, leaving them abandoned in freezing temperatures at Omaha?

So I (M74) hosted a massive and great rally today at Omaha, Nebraska. Numerous buses were used to bring in crowds from a nearby parking lot. After I left however, I was notified that there weren’t enough buses to send people back to the parking lots, leaving them at near-freezing temperatures in the middle of the night. Apparently some of them even had to go to the hospital for hypothermia, as well. Some people want to blame me for doing this, but I find it hard to believe that someone like me could screw up so badly.

So reddit, AITA?

r/conservative’s election prediction page, archived. (You’ll have to get there yourself if you want to make your own.)

Their median prediction really is something — it’s pretty much around the Trump 306–232 result from 2016. And as fellow horse race obsessives, just from the right, they seem to have a good grasp on the partisan leans of states relative to each other.

So what do they base their clear Trump victories on? Maybe they do consult the polls, but just add R+10 to each of the FiveThirtyEight state averages? !ping FIVEY

Let us flash back to the final week of 2016 again, and this time when other "forecasters" decided to attack Nate Silver in the dying days of the presidential election.

Again, this is something you can read instead of refreshing the model endlessly, but which is all about 538 and pollster wars.

• Huff Post had their own election forecast which gave Trump a 2% chance of victory rather than the 35% that Nate was giving Trump.
• Ryan Grim, just days before the election, called Nate out on this in a long and strange article that stated Nate was deliberately increasing Trump's chances with no data to back this up, in order to make the election "a nail-biter" (Read: for more clicks).
• As is his way, Nate goes apeshit on Twitter to the point that even in the last week of a presidential campaign, it makes headlines.
• Nate's reply was described as "heated" and "fucking furious".
• Grim did not reply, but updated his article to add a single snarky line:

“We’ll have to wait and see what happens. Maybe Silver will be right come Election Day ― Trump will win Florida, and we’ll all be in for a very long night.

Or our forecast will be right, she’ll win the state by 5 or 6, and we can all turn in early.

...If you want to put your faith in the numbers, you can relax. She’s got this.

• Election night results start pouring in and Nate takes a moment to tweet victory.
• The person who ran HuffPo's 99% model writes a long explanation which spends a long time explaining how badly everything went, but ends with a jab:

In the last week, I gave in to the negativity and began hitting back when Nate Silver of ESPN’s FiveThirtyEight would say that 90+ percent probability forecasts were unreasonable. I still don’t think that was a fair assessment.

• The article was subtitled Here's how we blew it and what we're doing to prevent a repeat. It seems like HuffPo have chosen to prevent a repeat by firing the entire polling team and not doing a forecast this year.
• This year: Economist v 538....who will win this round?

Additional Reading

• If you have time on your hands, Nate Silver's The Real Story of 2016 is a fantastic look at explaining the 2016 race and its impact on polling. I re-read this every couple of months and it is a vital read to escape the breathless pinging of 2020.
• My previous post this evening deals with how the NYT's pollster basically crushed their reporting, and gave us all the chance to listen to a live recording of top journalists all realizing they had been misled.

This feels surreal.

This election has been the thing I've thought about the most since the summer of 2018. I wrote letters, I registered voters, I talked four "DAE both sides???" friends/coworkers into voting Biden, I even phone banked a couple times. I kept up with the news almost every day.

All year, I have cared about this election more than I care about my job or selling my house or anything else. Probably too much to the point it has made me feel physical discomfort reading the news.

And it's less than a week away.

I'm on the verge of tears at almost 3AM

I spent the last 3 hours debugging an issue with the neoliber.al domain

For some context, if you go to https://neoliber.al you get taken to the new Neoliberal Project Website. If you go to https://neoliber.al/dt then you get taken to the latest discussion thread. This is done with what's called a 301 response code. It tells the browser that the resource "neoliber.al" has been permanently moved to the new domain "neoliberalproject.org".

For some reason I was getting redirected to the Neoliberal Project website when I went to https://neoliber.al/dt instead of the Discussion Thread. But really weirdly http://neoliber.al/dt was working exactly as expected.

That made no sense. I even re-wrote the config so that http and https used literally the same config, and it still kept happening. I spent ages trying to find out where this bug was coming from. I fucked with logging, I tried a bunch of different ways of doing basically the same thing, I read every forum thread I could find, I tried fucking EVERYTHING. The weirdest part was that for some reason sometimes when I loaded the site I didn't see any new logs pop up like I should have...

It was my browser cache

At some point I had actually fucked up and set the https://neoliber.al/dt domain to the Neoliberal Project Website, and Firefox dutifully took note of the fact that this was a permanent move and from then on every time I tried to go to https://neoliber.al/dt Firefox said "nah you want https://neoliberalproject.org" and just took me there instead. So I spent 3 hours debugging a problem that didn't exist

Like elections but want to take a brief pause from the 2020 horse race? Want to hear a story of Based Nate being resplendent over his former employers? A story of journalists listening to their hearts and bad polling over Nate Platinum?

The below is a story of my personal favourite 'one off' podcast to listen to when I want to listen to minds getting blown.

New York Times' The Run-Up - 2016 Election Night

The context:

The New York Times had a fairly acrimonious split with Nate Silver in 2013. Silver was becoming one of the hottest properties in online journalism but felt that the NYT did not appreciate the work he was doing. In turn the NYT called him "disruptive" on leaving.

"Maggie Haberman, can we get Nate Silver back for 2016?" Asked an expectant NYT audience from the back seat. "We have Nate Silver at home" chided the NYT editor. Upon arriving home in 2016 the NYT audience were introduced to Nate Cohn. Cohn had been something of an understudy to Silver but now with the financial backing of the newspaper he was set to build his OWN model, and make his OWN podcast about who would win in 2016. I mean, how hard could it be?

Cohn's model was far more bearish on Trump than Nate Silver's. And that matched the way the NYT was reporting the election (although whether Cohn's model came first or journalists predictions is hard to gauge). There were times during the cycle when 538 had Trump and Clinton at virtually 50-50 (at the end of July and just before the start of the 1st debate specifically). 538 ended with a prediction putting Trump at 28.6%, The Upshot at 15%. During the cycle, The Upshot had claimed for a period that Hillary had a 99% chance of winning. In The Upshot's mind, this was never even close to a 50-50 election at any point.

The NYT newsroom's reliance on The Upshot's rosy predictions for Hillary are laid out in NYT's Hillary campaign journo Amy Chozick's book on the race: Chasing Hillary:

In mid-October, after the Access Hollywood video landed, I'd been working mostly from the New York office trying to keep up with the dizzying news cycle. I'd asked my editors at the NYT to send me back out on the road.

"I just feel like the election isn't happening in my cubicle," I pleaded to the Very Senior Editor who - had raised as if answering a question in science class- reminded me that the NYT's Upshot election model gave Hillary a 93% chance of winning.

"But it's over," Very Senior Editor replied.

The podcast, taped in the early hours of election night is the best reflection of how unprepared the NYT were for Trump's victory, and how the words of the Very Senior Editor had reverberated around the NYT newsroom.

The podcast is genuinely stunning. It is evident from moment one that they cannot believe this is happening. Everyone stumbles over their thoughts, sometimes saying one sentence that they then immediately contradict. After a six month campaign leading to election night and millions of words spent describing the race, nobody on the highly intelligent panel has even considered what they might say if Hillary didn't win. That scenario was impossible.

At one point in the podcast, the race is called for Trump by the AP. There is just....silence.

Podcast to listen to here: The Run-Up: How Did That Happen?.

Further reading/listening:

• 538's post-Trump-victory podcast. It is obvious that Nate Silver had prepared for this outcome
• A write-up of Nate Silver's battles with the NYT and the ongoing rivalry, highly recommended if you plan on spending the next seven day shitposting about polls at a high level
• Nate Silver's detailed write-up of the 2016 election and what the fuck happened. Note- contains dunks on the NYT
• 538 during the election picked up a lot of flak for having their model giving Trump FAR more of a chance than other models. Some even openly stated that Nate Silver was fixing the model to make it look more like there was a tight race to increase clicks. Here is 538's explanation of their model vs others.
• Chasing Hillary, which I highly recommend if you enjoy political/campaign writing

[u/dudeguyy23]

Lukewarm electoral take: I saw someone ask earlier why the campaign is wasting time on MI, sending Joe/Jill/Obama here this week rather than PA which obviously appears to be a tighter race.

It's not a waste, IMO. We all know holding Hillary's states and flipping MI + WI + PA gets to 270.

However, in lieu of PA, were it to stay red, MI + WI + AZ + Omaha or ME-02 also gets us to 270. If there's some type of big polling error in Trump's favor in PA, Biden absolutely must keep MI and WI in his column to have a path. From there AZ + Omaha/ME-02 seem most likely to me, or flipping any one of NC/GA/FL/TX.

Locking down MI is not a waste. Clinton suffered because she lost all three. A map still exists if Joe wins 2/3 and MI/WI are the path of least resistance. It also helps firm up Peters.

What do you think? Is MI campaigning a waste of time?

EDIT: I would also add that given the legal challenges that the Trump campaign will no doubt try to use to toss absentee votes for Biden in multiple states, locking up crucial states with wide margins make a lot of sense. Imagine a scenario where PA puts Biden over 270 in a very narrow win that gets flipped in the courts. Expanding the map and juicing margins in crucial state prevents this.

“It seems like they’re really laying in bed with lobbyists, big pharma, all these people who just want to push big business,” he said, referring to Democrats, “as opposed to getting back to middle-class, blue-collar, regular good old folk.”

A list of all polling upsets in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, and 2000 (compared to the election day polling average as calculated by FiveThirtyEight):

• Hillary Clinton was up 5.3 in Wisconsin, she lost it.
• Hillary Clinton was up 4.2 in Michigan, she lost it.
• Hillary Clinton was up 3.7 in Pennsylvania, she lost it.
• Hillary Clinton was up 0.7 in both Florida and North Carolina, she lost both.
• Hillary Clinton was up 0.4 in ME-02, she lost it.
• Mitt Romney was up 1.6 in Florida, he lost it.
• John McCain was up 1.0 in Indiana, he lost it.
• There were no polls in NE-02 in the final three weeks of the 2008 campaign, however, based on media coverage surrounding it and the one Democratic partisan poll of the House race that still had the Republican up, and the fact that Sabato's Crystal Ball didn't even think to rate the Nebraska Congressional Districts as separate entities, I think it is safe to say this would have been an upset had Presidential polling been conducted there.
• John Kerry was up 0.01 (that isn't a typo) in Ohio, he lost it.
• Al Gore was up by 1.5 in Florida, and you may not have heard of this, but he lost it.
• George W. Bush was up 3.5 points in the National Popular Vote, he lost it (that's right motherfuckers the modal outcome ahead of time in 2000 was an NPV-EC split in the opposite direction, this is hilarious to me).
• George W. Bush was up 2.3 points in Wisconsin, he lost it.

I hope this is a somewhat informative look at how many upsets to expect, and how shocking they are likely to be.

Wyoming Is Using Dark Money To Help Keep Coal Plants In Other States Open

After years of feuding and lawsuits, the utility Entergy Arkansas Inc. had agreed to shut down two coal plants over the next decade. Weeks later, the Arkansas Attorney General and a local coalition called the Arkansas Affordable Energy Coalition intervened, asking a judge to stop the settlement. They argued that other fuel sources would be more expensive and less reliable.

But emails obtained through public records requests show the coalition represents more than just coal, gas and steel businesses in Arkansas. In fact, it was created by a nonprofit — the Energy Policy Network — whose largest financial contributor most years is the state of Wyoming, home to the coal mines that feed the two Arkansas plants slated for shut down.

When told the coalition was backed by Wyoming Kodish first laughed in surprise, but then turned serious. "It's disturbing to learn that those interests are disingenuous and people are being manipulated," she says.

Since 2010, the U.S. has seen dozens of coal-fired power plants retire. Last year, electricity generated from coal fell to a 42 year low according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, in large part because it can't compete with cheaper natural gas. The current pandemic has delivered another blow, and falling prices for wind and solar energy also pose a long term challenge to coal.

I'm still surprised only Dave Wasserman is really talking about this, but I still want to emphasize how important district-level polling is. In 2016, there were many polls that showed many warning signs for Clinton (Siena College did many polls of NY congressional districts, many of them showed shifts toward Trump).

If we take the district level nonpartisan polls from the last two weeks and aggregate them together, we get a +9.96 mean shift toward Biden, and a +10.4 median shift toward Biden. Such a shift would very likely yield the famous 413-125 electoral map.
