It's sad that a subreddit over 15 times larger than us has such low overall page views comparatively. Especially considering they are supposed to be a catch-all for politics in general. Surely this has nothing to do with how completely unbiased they are. (they aren't)

Unfortuantely, they're actually so small they don't have traffic stats. I just used the official reddit traffic stats here for politics and here for the_donald

well /r/hillaryclinton is PRO HILLARY. There is nothing positive about that woman. So CTR is being paid to go against Trump, hence the take over of /r/politics and /r/enoughtrumpspam

What does it take to front page an article? 2000 upvotes? It's very easy to create 5000 reddit accounts and hook them up to bots. It is also very easy to have those accounts clone real users' comments so their histories look real.

After that, they just post articles and press "go" voila: Frontpage.

And that's how CTR does it. Neato, right?

[–]Oldschool1964NE 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which is crazy because I see posts from their subreddit on /r/all every once in a while on my feed, while /r/The_Donald normally has a single post that's buried by other subreddits with LOW ENERGY. If they have NO traffic, then there has to be some manipulation to push them to the front page.

It's the same reason guys like Cernovich and places like Breitbart are doing so well in 2016.

people know they're being lied to and are over it.

I know for one that me and other blacks, and gays, and minorities are tired of every single mainstream media site telling us that we're victims and then shaming us when we decide we're not.

we're adults, we can handle it. Just last night Cernovich said the N Word as a quote and guess what? No one died.

This is analogous to the polling issue. A committed, energetic group will go to the polls. Paid shills, unengaged voters and the truly uninformed will not be as motivated. If Trump is within 5 points he will win. This election will rewrite the rules.

I posted some information yesterday about why polling numbers don't matter right now, October is when we need to worry about poll numbers. Wall of text incoming

Polls numbers don't matter right now. Poll's are a business a Dirty Crooked Business. Research Data from Real Clear Politics shows why.

Ever wonder why campaigns do internal polling? If candidates don't trust them, why should we blindly follow them?

Sources below.

After watching 7 general elections I picked up a trend in polling data. I set out to see why I've held these opinions all these years. I finally had the data at my fingertips thanks to Real Clear Politics. This trend goes back several election cycles not just my sourced links here.

I can tell you with certainty polls right now don't matter. Polling is a business that sells a product and like any good business they have to know their market. That market is a biased media so that product is tailored to that media. If media is pushing a narrative, they don't want to buy a product that doesn't follow that narrative.

Now this leaves polling companies in a catch 22, they have to alter their product and at the same time not make a worthless product. They have to be accurate in order to be able to sell that product next election cycle. So how do they fix this? They skew the data with over/under sampling, processes they use to label likely voters, question phrasing and staying within their margin of error. This process can contribute to so called outlier polls. Cook the books enough you will eventually get burned. Then in their final few polls they give the accurate data. You can go much deeper into the MOE in each poll but it's too much to cover here.

You will hear the phrase "polls are tightening" from October to Election Day.

The real question you should be asking is why are they tightening? Excuses like late deciders, people are just settling in after summer and are finally paying attention, October surprise. This is bullshit they already have the data to account for that. And when was the last time an October surprise cost someone an election? And if all those undecided voters make up their minds in that span of time, why are internal polls so crucial?

We all know events can change poll numbers my focus is on the noticeable accuracy and trend from October to Election Day.

To give you an idea here are graphs of 2012 polls in battleground states from August 1 to Election Day.

Pennsylvania Winner Obama by 5.4pts Up till October AVG almost 10 it's then cut to 3.8 new AVG is 1.6pts different than election results.

Pennsylvania

Ohio Winner Obama by 3pts. Up till October AVG almost 6 it's then cut to 2.9 new AVG is 0.1pts different than election results.

Ohio

Florida Winner Obama by .9pts. Up till October AVG 4 it's then cut to +1.5 to Romney AVG is 0.6pts different than election results

Florida

Virginia the RCP AVG is off because of an outlier poll by Roanoke College that didn't fall within its own M.O.E. It was 8.9pts off with an MOE of 4. Since I'm not getting paid to do the math we will use the RCP AVG from before 10/23 when this poll was added.

Virginia Winner Obama by 3.9pts. Up till October AVG 4 it's then cut to 2.3 new AVG is 1.6pts different than election results

Virginia

Wisconsin RCP AVG is off because of Rasmussen poll off by 6.9 with MOE of 4. Again not getting paid to do the math and the poll date was 10/29 so no way to easily remove it because so many others in the average are in the time frame.

Wisconsin Winner Obama by 6.9pts. Up till October AVG 7.8 it's then cut to 4.2 new AVG is 2.7pts different than election results

Wisconsin

Anyway you can find this trend with almost every poll you see by the beginning of October. This is why campaigns do internal polling they need an unbiased poll in order to allocate resources.

The trend is visible as far back as data is available, I first noticed it from 92-96 it was just an observation that led to an opinion I held for years. Finally spent hours going through polls to see it was correct.

"Likely voters" is the key phrase to look for. It means they are weighing the poll response against demographic data from the previous election. Only problem with that from a prediction standpoint is the winning side is usually the side that can motivate a new demographic to go to the polls and vote.

[–]vidorianLA 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Also likely voters exclude a lot of men. Woman vote more often than men. Trump has tremendous support from men who didn't vote 4/8 years ago, they won't be in a LV sample.

Some of these polls are landline polls. Meaning they just call people at home who still have a landline for their main form of communication. This crowd skews older, so you're missing a lot of young peoples' opinions.

Main difference is Britain had a semblance of fairness and accountability with paper-based polling.

Whereas you folks in the US will be voting electronically, on machines produced by donors of the Clinton Foundation - with no means to oversee, trace or prove fraudulent behaviour which can be accomplished with a whisper; a few corrupt technicians set for life, as they betray their fellow American IT workers, scurried out due to outsourcing as they are increasingly undercut, undervalued and underappreciated...

Even the anti-trump crowd is pretty low energy. The best they got is "Trump is literally Hitler." and "Everything Hillary has done or will do, is still better than Trump."

I had someone the other night who couldnt get off the fact that Trump had four of 500 some businesses went bankrupt, and that was enough to disqualify him from presidency.

I finally told them "Hillary wants to start WW3 with Russis."

"Even so, WW3 would be better than Trump."

I was flabbergasted, the only thing I could think to say in response was "You are a moron."

"Omg! Cant fight an argument, you have to call people names!"

I eventually went on to explain why what she said was dumb, and while I dont think I convinced her, I certainly made some headway with audience bystanders.

This what we are dealing with. People who think WW3 is preferable to Trump.

This is about as well summed up as it can be. The main group of Trump haters right now are people that wouldn't be caught dead voting for someone with a 'R' next to their names anyway. This is how bad identity politics has become in this country. People are wanting WW3 instead of even considering voting for someone who is not on their 'team'.

I don't use this word lightly because of how frequently it is abused, but he has a creepy love and attaction to his mother. Posts pics of her nearly daily on Facebook saying how beautiful she is. Seeing them on my feed is a guilty pleasure.

Out of a thousand or so FB friends he is the only one who openly promotes Hillary. Never once have seen him post anti trump propaganda. In contrast every other democrat exclusively post anti-trump and nothing pro-Hillary.

Honestly, I don't think so. Bernie wasn't vetted at all and Hillary has so many resources. Look at this brutal media obviously colluding. None of her scandals are even up. We also have to worry about voter fraud since she's connected to the voting machine companies. The turnout for the Democrats wasn't good anyways.

Edit: what would've been a huge problem is Hillary-Bernie ticket.

[–]ChazzenNV[S] 8ポイント9ポイント  (5子コメント)

Hm, you might be right about that...but before the DNC was completely colluding with the media to destroy Bernie, he seemed to be getting positive coverage. We can see now why that stopped via wikileaks.

[–]obeseredditadminUK 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's exactly why I said Sanders is a non-threat.

People from both sides respect and support Trump because he's the opposite of Bernie:

  • Speaks his mind, doesn't pander.

  • Successful businessman

  • Endorsed by respected Senators from both sides

Bernie has no respect from minorities such as blacks when you look at the polls. Bernie's main support comes from young, poor, white millenials.

Then this genius goes along and alienates his base by saying shit like "White people don't know what it's like to live in a ghetto."

Trump would absolutely destroy him. As an example, his only anti-Bernie ad was an unedited video of Bernie being chased of the stage by the BLM women. That's how soft a target Bernie is.

I've met a few, and they are 10x more infuriating than the BernieBots. The one girl I know is 32, worked for a congresswoman for awhile, and now has a cushy six figure government job with the department of interior design or some weird bullshit.

Anyway, she is as an establishment democrat as they get. She is an SJW (because that's what the party says to do right now) and firmly believes that "it's a woman's turn" to be president. When asked about all the corruption and just asshatery from Hillary over the years, she just shrugs it off and defends her as being misunderstood. As I said, the few Clinton supporters out there are 10x worse than the Sandersistas ever were.

The media and pollsters are pushing the DNC false narrative so hard it's making it easier to see through their lies.

The left establishment is terrified. There is no enthusiasm. Hillary is losing.

My Mother-in-law, Hispanic lifelong democrat and proud Trump supporter, told me that one of the things that made her take a harder look at Trump was the nonstop push from the MSM that all seemed coordinated. That was BEFORE the DNC and this big push.

It's going to backfire. CNN ratings will continue to sink. The polls will be historically bad.

Trump will win!

[–]dd416 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

When every news outlet uses the same buzzwords and line of attack within 30 minutes of Trump making a statement, the only logical assumption is coordination and collusion.

[–]cultural_dissenterCAN 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not necessarily.

At my business, we never went below 25 cents a unit. The competition never went below 25 cents a unit. We never colluded, or spoke about it - we simply price matched.

Journalists read each other's articles, and a lazy journalist will simply regurgitate what someone else wrote, re-worded a little bit, with an attribution. Many of them get their original media from blogs or Twitter, because they "don't count" as plagiarism.

It's more swarm behaviour than coordination or collusion - they see another newsie go in a direction, and they turn and go that direction, too. It's more laziness, incompetence, and being bought by the same people than deliberate malice.

On top of that, they are echo chambers that tend to attract people like liberal arts majors. When there is no diversity of opinion, why should we expect diversity of output?

I grew up an only child. We lived out in the woods so I couldn't just walk down the block whenever I wanted to visit a schoolmate. My childhood was very lonely, and it seemed at times that my closest friends were memes. In gradeschool, we were allowed to print out one picture a week from the classroom computer. I'd use my print voucher on dank meme templates. In my room, I had a whiteboard that I'd tape the templates too, and with a dryerase marker, I'd caption my own Bad-Luck-Brian's and Scumbag-Steve's. It was a lot of fun and I'd often make new memes while holding a flashlight in the other hand after lights-out.

When I was twelve, for Christmas I got a rare Pepe. Deep down, I knew that it was more than my parents could afford, but I was too astonished to consider this. That Pepe was my prized possession. In reality, my parents were planning a divorce and they wanted me to have one last holiday together to remember fondly. It was tough the following years, moving back and forth between homes, but I always had my rare Pepe at my side to keep me company.

Eventually I grew up and forgot about Pepe and my meme collection. I started highschool, got a girlfriend, started a part-time job. I got a driver's license and a car, and was no longer isolated to my cabin in the woods. I became more outgoing and made more friends as I got older. After highschool, I graduated from college and started my career. I married the girl of my dreams. I had my own life.

Of course, death is apart of life more than anything. My parents died relatively young, before I was thirty myself. It was hard, but we can't roll back the clock. I spent that summer renovating the house I grew up in. I had a lot of memories at the place, but I was a homeowner myself now and couldn't cope with two houses. We put the property on the market and quickly found a buyer.

Cleaning out the last of my father's possessions, I found a cardboard box in the attic with my name sharpied onto the side. Inside was a collection of memoralia. My essay contest trophy, my Pokemon cards, a collection of cool Lego doohickeys. There was a centerfold I had torn out of a Playboy I found in my grandfather's garage. Then, underneath a Tyson catalog, I saw it: my Rare Pepe. It was as immaculate and beautiful as the day I first unwrapped it. I felt that I was being a little silly, but I couldn't shake the sense that something grand was being foretold, and that it was no accident that I stumbled upon my old Pepe.

The very next day, Donald Trump announced his run for presidency. Memes started flowing. The world made sense to me again, like I was reborn. I pulled my box of junk from the street before the garbage men could get it, and I retrieved my rare Pepe. Today, it sits proudly on my mantletop, next to my MAGA hat and 1st ed. copy of Art of the Deal. Praise Kek.

I never got this.. Wouldnt we want to sell Morton Salt stocks since there would literally be salt flowing through the streets? Salt prices will plummet, sending the salt world into an aggressive downward spiral.

PRO TIP: SELL YOUR MORTON SALT STOCKS BEFORE THEY BECOME AS WORTHLESS AS WET SCORE CARDS

[–]fourredfruitstea 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Better yet: Short-sell your Morton Salt stocks so you can profit off them becoming worthless as wet score cards.

And that's with Reddit literally changing their algorithm for the sole purpose of censoring r/the_Donald.

I can get why. /r/politics is so negative, it's draining my energy to even be on there. Only bad vibes.

What's more the people on there are like screeching monkeys. It's weird - this sub is explicitly a circlejerk sub, and /r/politics manages to circlejerk harder than us.

/r/politics was a decent battleground of opposing views back in summer of 2015. You could get a decent idea of what was going through the heads of every candidate, either through articles or the comments. But then the shilling started and it was just 20 frontpage articles of Bernie imploring everybody to "focus on the issues".

I know I definitely contributed to some of those views during the DNC. As I didn't know about the H4P thread as it wasn't stickied until a few hours in. A lot of centipedes were in there fighting it out with cucks too. I'm pretty sure we gave them a pretty big boost from that.

A simple trip to Wal-Mart will tell you that a paycheck rarely equates to motivation. A bunch of paid Clinton shills will do what they need to do to get paid and nothing more. Paid shills are the majority of Hillary's online fan presence, and certainly the most vocal ones.

The legitimate users on /r/politics, the ones who aren't paid, are lukewarm Bernouts who probably won't be bothered to get out of bed and vote for Clinton if they're even considering doing so anyway, and many of them are not. They refuse to.

The thing about Trump supporters is that they actually give a goddamn. Trump has the lowest levels of "meh, I guess I'll vote for him"-tier support since perhaps Reagan. They'll show up. Polling can't always accurately depict this, and the aggregates haven't been updated to include polls taken after the DNC leaks.

I'd chalk this up to the slow realization of the agenda driven mods. They are fucking Nazis when it comes to enforcing the rules only when it suits them and their like minded followers. If you're nose isn't up HRC's ass you can expect to be insulted by commenters or have your post deleted.

The problem spans mostly all of Reddit. Just yesterday in /r/politicaldiscussion I called Cuban, Bloomberg, and Buffet Wall Street whores and instantly had a mod telling me my comment was in violation of the rules ... For calling a third party a name and not the OP. While every other time I've supported Trump or Sanders it's totally okay to bust out the thesaurus when it comes to insulting my intelligence. When I pointed that out the mod quit responding.

Trump 2016.

Yeah, it's really nasty. They're supposed to be general political subreddits. Not completely biased for one side. I understand strict rules when it comes to S4P or HillaryClinton subs. But, when you are trying to come off as impartial, you shouldn't censor those you disagree with.

[–]TakeItLocalMI 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

When your debate opponent forgoes a counter argument and simply relies on insults you have already won.

My posts in r/politics , r/world news , or r/news are intentionally kept to facts and devoid of opinion in the initial post. Yet they are often countered with "you're retarded" or "you're an idiot". Still, those subs account for most of my karma.

Breaking through their propaganda is very satisfying to me. Plus I'm terrible at dank meme creation. So I do what I can.

CTR on politics got handed down a new narrative. They gave up on Russia narrative attacks and switched to North Korea.

They realized there's no red scare anymore, people don't give a fuck about Russia.

So now they are trying to run with comparing trump to North Korea and their penis potato.

Last I checked NK was a leftist regime, it's Obama abusing executive orders and ignoring Supreme Court rulings, and it's democrats that want guns out of the hands of the populace not trump, which you know, step 1 to a dictatorship is removing people ability to fight back...

Whenever he does something totally unacceptable and scary and funny I come here to see what y'all think. Like he just tweeted "It makes me feel so good to hit "sleazebags" back -- much better than seeing a psychiatrist (which I never have!)" which is this weird reinforcement of the idea that he's not entirely stable. It's not really normal to feel more well-adjusted after a fight. His need to say he's never seen a psychiatrist kind of accepts that people are questioning his sanity, which they are.

Anyway, I often come here right after I see something weird like that, so some of those numbers might be people like me. /r/politics is the worst sub ever, though, so I'm not exactly sad you're bigger.

[–]ChazzenNV[S] 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

I find that absolutely hilarious. The thing is, is that he has racked up over $2B worth of free publicity from all the MSM exposure. I'm pretty sure he understands what he's doing when he says and does (like with the KFC thing being on CNN for some damn reason lmao) things like this. Especially since he knows he has way less money than Hillary does (in terms of campaign contributions).

[–]levalet 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Guess it's a test of "there's no such thing as bad publicity." On the one hand, it's brought him this far. On the other hand, I don't think Kim Kardashian or the Zika virus will ever be president.

Eh, he states how to work the media in his book. Always start little controversies to get the media to give you free press. I think once the debates roll around he's going to change his game plan. Right now he just wants the media to give him a ton of exposure.

I'm amazed at how quickly politics devolved after the announcement of the increase to $6M. I would say it was fairly balanced before the announcement and sure I had to spend some time wading through unsubstantiated articles and posts but I was able to get what I felt was a mostly unbiased view of this election; Clinton is a corrupt crook and Trump is growing stronger by the day. Now I can't even go there because it's just anti Trump. Clinton is literally a felon yet there is no discussion? I'm now in search of a new unbiased news source.
