With differing opinions on the margins and turnout, the conversation underscores the complexity of political forecasting and the challenges in making accurate predictions. This not only emphasizes the uncertainties surrounding elections but also hints at the idea of implementing a 'bullshit tax', where individuals would be held accountable for their predictions.
