Statisticians are worthless salespeople. There is nothing scientific about the field.

That's correct and obvious, just like facts that CO2 does cause climate change and that there's no bigger number than 10^200

you clearly know nothing about science then.

Garbage in, Garbage out, the election.
prediction models and polls based on 2008/2012 elections. which Obama enjoyed abnormally high voter turn out.

Nate silver was right in saying "Hey guys, you know that Donald trump could still win, right?"
Meanwhile Sam wong goes around with his
95% chance hillary" model.

Well, the problem is that you are not looking at scientific facts. You are looking at political and media stats. Those people were bought by Clinton. They literally said that Trump had a 1% chance of winning.
Where did that number came from? He was already really close in the polls. How could it be just 1%. This was obviously pushed to make the people who vote for Donald Trump think that 'Oh, he will never win so why even bother go to vote'.
Those stats were not collected, they were manufactured by Clinton's campaign. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone knew Trump was going to win with a 100% chance and this is exactly why they pushed the 1% narrative.
>SEE GUYS! HE CAN'T WIN! DON'T EVEN BOTHER VOTING HAHA. HE CAN'T. LOL. LOL. RIGHT GUYS?
And just like in Brexit, the corrupted establishment got BTFO. Lets make america great again. Lets make statistics great again.

Statistics in an embarrassment to the mathematical community.
It's like being a drug dealer or a pharmacist instead of a surgeon.
Learn some real math guys or get the fuck out of this field.

Stat is a Veeky Forums degree. Any statistician during the election was actually weighting the money they'd receive for fake results against the potential backlash they'd get.
