I've been asking around and 84% of people here believe the polls are all meaningless. Interesting note, people have more confidence in polls than the swarm of rats who made up most the survey.


edit: To avoid confusion, I did not actually poll around here about the validity of polls.

lol, those classified interviews were leaked within like 10 minutes of the House Republicans getting them

Now the person who was investigating Clinton about her e-mails and exposing classified intel is not only doing this all through a private e-mail server, but is also illegally disseminating classified information as well

That's because always no one actually understands statistics, and can't articulate a poll's methodolgy. Hell, I took two semesters of statistics and I'm just taking their methodology on faith until someone points out a particularly stupid bias.

It's just human nature if you're not paid to pay attention. Everyone has a bit of magical thinking, especially about stuff they can't understand but are too proud to admit it.

And the capitalization thing people mentioned is just something schizos tend to do even when they aren't babbling about the CIA trying to assassinate them by slipping an empty Monster can underneath their brake pedal. It's "this represents a concept related to but not identical to this words textbook meaning, but I don't have a separate word for what I'm trying to describe so I'll turn it into a proper noun to distinguish that", as opposed to just trying to make it look scary. Normal people do it too but it's practically a schizophrenia trademark.

Good news, I may be up for a promotion at work soon, meaning that I will not only be able to regale you with tales of lovely Poll Respondents, but also lovely Poll Interviewers.

Though tbh I already have many tales of Interviewer escapades ranging from weird pseudonyms and slipping "meow" into polls to Cocaine in the break room and handjobs under in the cubicles.

Absolutely. His speeches are progressively less comprehensible as the campaign goes on. It's also why his handlers have zero chance of controlling him when he goes off prompter. Whatever inhibitions he has go out the window when he's exhausted but flying high on a rally-adrenalin and phentermine cocktail.
