(34,117 posts)It is your posting on DU (and likely other sites) that you KNOW is going to win which encourages others to be complacent.
Enjoy your fantasy "knowledge," but don't contribute to the atmosphere that existed on DU in 2016 - which was that everyone KNEW that Clinton would win and anyone who suggested otherwise was labeled a "concern troll" and dismissed. Some people who trusted those who asserted they KNEW voted for third parties. Some people viewed voting as a something to do if it was convenient because they trusted those who asserted they KNEW. Some people who trusted those who asserted they KNEW switched parties and voted for Trump in the primary because he would be so easy to beat.
So just stop it. Keep your fantasy knowledge to yourself, and don't risk contributing to a Trump victory by encouraging others to complacency.
As to your "knowledge" about the Seahawks - being right on a 50-50 proposition does not prove advance knowledge. Establishing your claim to advance knowledge to being right on a matter that could have gone either way is ludicrous. When you establish your prescience to a statistically significant relationship I'll pay more attention to your "knowledge."
