For him - politics is just like sports. He's saying that leftists like us want the war to end because our team wants the lib team to lose. That's a moronic take but that's basically it.

Or are they just trying to stir up tension between the two to drive clicks?

In the self text I said he's trolling but he's also 100% a ghoul. Also - people like him are slippery fuckers. He wants a very high level of engagement but he takes care not to get ratioed. He never states things plainly so even though he clearly implies stuff - he can always claim "I didn't say that."

He loves to push people's buttons. Another example is he keeps mentioning Biden's polling weaknesses and the possibility of Biden getting replaced. That's Silver's standard operating procedure. He's just a numbers guy and the numbers tell him there's a possibility.

It must make most earnest libs who follow him batty. I wonder if they actually reply to him with stuff like "But Nate are you actually saying Biden should be replaced?" Should is a modal verb and Numbers Nate didn't use one.
