I have no idea what's at the link, but I don't read 538's clickbait articles anymore. Nate is constantly trying to drive traffic. Before the first debate he said Trump could do OK and be ahead of Clinton afterwards. LOL.

was more about GOTV and not about "right wing smears." I voted to leave it. I hope you survive.

I wish people would read the FULL post.....

I don't mind seeing someone get nailed for Trumphumping or vote depressing, but that link is a wry commentary from the Clinton campaign. It is a GOTV sort of guerrilla ad.

If you liked the article and want to share it, include some highlights in your thread. It might be a great article, but I am not going to click on the link and hunt it out.

Pretty scary, right?

It may be halloween (or soon thereafter), but this terrifying image is not unreasonable. As we near Election Day and refresh poll sites like the real version of this website, consider taking some action and donating a few extra bucks below. It's the least we can all do to stop the image above from becoming a reality.

(Obviously a parody of FiveThirtyEight. Sorry, Nate.)

She also has a new commercial, and Joe and Mika are in it to make Hillary's point for her. The ad uses their commentary on the danger of electing a president so cavalier concerning the use of nuclear weapons.
