Okay, I am going to do a thread on how absolutely stupid Nate Silver is, because he deserves to be dunked on by everybody. It took 5 seconds to see how absolutely dumb this man is on every level.
Nate Silver published on April 5, 2026 the article "Social media has become a freak show", where he links to data from Cluvio in the article. The graph itself.

When you're counting Fuentes as right wing when he's going to vote Democrats...

archive.ph/kbtfLImage
Image
But here's the real dumb part - the page he links to is a subsidiary of "Top Pages Across Social Media".

This is based on Magnitude Media's social listening database, using data from Junkipedia.
