There are some other choice Kesslerisms in the article as well. My favorite: quote:As for 32 million being thrown off health care, that would only be under scenarios when the Affordable Care Act was repealed with no replacement plan in place — an unlikely scenario. (Sanders could have also been referring to the administration’s support of the lawsuit to invalidate the law entirely, the impact of which is unclear.)

I guess we have to give them the benefit of the doubt, given that there wasn't a very recent and very public debate over the particulars of the bullshit alternatives that they put together that any journalist would remember.

Kessler: While the notion of everyone else having more integrity than me is true, I have none so this is comparing apples to oranges.

I’m just thrilled that we finally have some confirmation that Biden being consistently, obviously awful actually can impact his numbers. Bernie’s fight with Harris and Warren will be tough as hell, especially with the media going out of their loving minds to tear him down while treating the other two kindly. But as bad as Harris is I consider her to be a substantial improvement over Biden - our worst case scenario gets a little less worse when he finally goes down.

Jethro posted:And then everyone has their own secret sauce way to deal with who the gently caress answers their phone anymore? So fun aside about this. Gig economy, since well before the inception of cellphones, has been a phone-tree based operation. A job comes in and needs X people, and the dispatch / call steward phones everybody. It's not always the same phone, and if it's a text, it's often an automated system that comes from a weird number you don't recognize. So there's a significant chunk of the labor force that answers every phone call, because it might just have a few hundred bucks on the other end. There's lots of lived experiences out there, and they're not all quite as streamlined as the modern world feels like it could be.

Pretty sure the final three are going to be Warren, Bernie, and Harris. Just not sure who will end up winning. Harris will do great in debates, but I'm skeptical she has a savvy political operation. And her lack of policies, especially contrasted with Warren, could end up hurting her. theblackw0lf fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jul 1, 2019 |

Bernie's problem is that there's basically jack poo poo he can do to magically prove that the other candidates aren't trustworthy. This is why, prior to the primary, I felt Warren would be the biggest problem. Basically, older voters are looking for something that Bernie can't be (someone who will smoothly and charismatically lay sweet owns on Trump). He benefited in 2016 from Hillary being really lame. There's likely nothing he can do to convert people through the debates, so the important thing will be whether or not he can mobilize his much larger motivated base (and Sanders likely has more strongly committed supporters than any other candidate).

It's only useful for trying to make weak dunks online. Jethro posted:It makes a certain sort of sense. Even once you get beyond the obvious "how did you phrase the question?" stuff that is somewhat less relevant when it comes to candidate polls, each poll can be of a different population. Adults, registered voters, likely voters, democratic voters, etc. Pretty much.

I definitely agree that every poll between now and February 3rd is, as they say when publishing sports betting lines, for entertainment purposes only.

Mellow Seas posted:What exactly do you think “margin of error +/- 5%” means? ???? It's definitely not what you think it means. It's on a normal distribution, meaning the -5 and +5 lie at the edges of the 95% confidence interval. They should be vanishingly rare compared to smaller misses like +/- 1.3%

Whatever you think of Harris surging, I'm at least glad to see a national poll without Biden ahead by double digits.
