I really don’t get this at all. What stage are you objecting to?
- Do you object to a thread that includes discussions about the election ( I assume not)
- Do you object to making predictions in such discussions?
- Do you object to a thread devoted to those predictions?
- Do you object to a retrospective look at those predictions to see how accurate they were?
- Do you object to identifying which poster had the most accurate prediction?
That is all that that thread is doing.
I guess I could see that if there was actual money at risk that it would be unseemly to profit off the misery of others, but that isn’t what is going on.
If it bugs you that people are making light of serious events then again you are complaining about the wrong thread, and in fact you are probably reading the wrong message board. Pretty much every political topic has jokes in it. Take for example the Alex Jones thread. 26 people were killed at Sandyhook, yet among the serious discussion we also have links to Simpsons episodes.
I’m really not clear on what it is you think you want?
