I was going to respond on birbsite this article. However, like many news outlets, 538's solution to getting lost in the noise of the firehose is to post every story of the last week EVERY HOUR, and after scrolling past the same Trump SotU address story literally 12 times to find this one, I gave up. Even if I found it, meaningful discussion in those conditions is just impossible.
Birbsite is not a social network. It is a user-hostile cacophonous shitshow, by design.
