Hey NYTimes, CNN. Are you saying that 2+2=5? Are you really OK supporting a candidate with these numbers?#VoterFraud
I've just snipped a few quotes to shorten it up.. go to the link please to get the full explanation of why Robbins' Tweet is baaaad...
................................................................................................................................
Last week, we explained how exit polls work. In short, the pollster (Edison Media Research) conducts interviews at polling locations, collecting a ton of demographic information about voters. Since they aren't talking to every voter, they use statistical analysis of turnout, past and present, to estimate overall patterns -- including the likely winner.
It's also bad because thinking exit poll results trump actual voting results ("in reality, Bernie has won four more states" is idiotic. And it's bad because thinking that "the machines are rigged" in 19 states to Clinton's advantage (including a variety of different types of "machines" without anyone knowing suggests a conspiracy of truly impressive scale.
Tim. I get it, man. You're mad. You want Sanders to win and you don't get why he isn't. It's hard for you to believe that people would vote for Clinton over Sanders, so you assume that there was somehow widespread fraud, and you're willing to assume a huge conspiracy and misunderstand how polling works to reinforce that belief.

He's a caricature of everything that's wrong with Bernie's campaign and he's a highly-visible person who only serves to highlight and accentuate and draw attention to the worst traits of Bernie supporters.
His words and actions INVITE ridicule, and then they complain about being ridiculed and not being taken seriously. (Uh... hello?)
Cha
(297,322 posts)to wrap my head around it sometimes that these surrogate people of sanders are such boneheads when they've achieved such success in other areas of their lives.
Evidently common sense and decency went out the window when they got involved in politics.
This is just his latest dumb ploy.. he called Hillary's supporters "sheep" and dismissed and disrespected the voters of South Carolina(and Guam).. as being no more important than Guam..
The real limousine liberals.. who aren't affected when they cause republicans to be elected.. too bad about the poor.

(14,400 posts)that people believe massive conspiracies make sense. My candidate is losing and the only sensible explanation is that thousands of people got together to rig voting machines in dozens or hundreds of districts and they all manage to stay quiet about it.
I've seen a lot of people around here floating the stupid idea that exit polls are the most accurate polls there are. I suppose that's easier than coming to terms with the reality that the candidate is simply not performing up to their expectations in a full on campaign.

(297,322 posts)a poor loser he is and going to great links to prove.. and insulting Millions of Hillary Supporters while he's at it.

(4,187 posts)I had been wondering about this.
Increasingly, the exit polls arent even distinct from normal telephone polls, since theyre using telephone surveys to sample early and absentee voters, who represent more than a third of the electorate in most of this years core battleground states. Unlike traditional media polls, which are weighted to various census targets, the exit polls arent weighted until far later in the evening when they get weighted to actual voting results.

(24,135 posts)For every election we get either both mail ballots and open/early polls. Municipal elections are all mail ballots But when it comes to picking the nominee for POTUS they pile us into small class rooms...a lot of people say eff that.

(24,135 posts)there were so many complaints - primary will return next time around.
The poor republicans in this state weren't even allowed to vote, they went straight to convention where party leaders picked Cruz. Yesterday the GOP voted to bring back primary also.

That is great news for the future of people not being disenfranchised! No wonder robbins didn't mention them.

(32,623 posts)I saw so many people sincerely offer articles and explanations about how exit polls work but dude bro just stuck his fingers in his ears and lalalalalala'd 'em all away.
Sounds like a personal problem. Maybe he's gone all method and is exploring a rigid and destructively stubborn role.

(297,322 posts)mind but if you're going to spread false info.. and say stupid insulting stuff.. it is better to stick to your job so you don't sully your reputation. Now, it's way too late for robbins and Sarandon.
GusBob
(7,286 posts)What kind of man does that?
Does he man up and apologize for all that dripping condescension& and being COMPLETELY WRONG? twice wrong if you think about it
No its probably just 'Oh someone else's fault'
A big man-child like me doesn't apologize to little people. Which makes him 3 times wrong
Fuck him to hell
