Polymarket isn't a good truth machine. It's just the best truth machine that's ever existed.

how can that be your takeaway? it was at best completely uncommital and uncertain, and at worst just objectively horribly wrong until the last possible minute. hard to take people seriously when they cheer polymarket here, seems like people speak highly of it and laud it's accuracy just because it's onchain

> "trump wins" was leading polymarket for the past few weeks perhaps we misunderstood what that meant

oh i see, no it was i who misunderstood you (thought you meant that i said it weeks ago) no what i was saying there was, what good is that data point, when it wavered so hard? it wasn't decisive. it flipped kamala all thru october and it was 45-55 (not 50-50 like I originally said) in the week leading up, which could be interpreted in a lot of ways, but still seems to imply a close race this was a landslide victory, but this graph does not show any amount of certainty, it's simply not a good predictor polymarket shows feelings, not facts
