Good content, Nate Silver knows what he’s talking about, but why didn’t you link the original source?

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-nate-silver.html

It’s not paywalled. And mediaite is a questionable source, to the extent that even Wikipedia advises against citing them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources

It’s generally best practice, most ethical, and good information hygiene, to link the original source instead of a downstream “repost,” or at least to link it in the post text.
