Polls work by phoning up a bunch of weirdos to ask them questions, then scaling the results of that effort based on vibes.

Its roughly as accurate as reading tea-leaves, but costs a bunch more, so they are no doubt, going to keep trying until they hit the "Just right" series of numbers to plug into the bullshit equasion.

Number One I order you to take a number two.

The only polls you should worry about are bullshit ones you make yourself and pack into a nice looking PowerPoint and then post on Twitter to get hoovered up by right wing media outfits because it's not like they're gonna fact check anything. Fill the methodology summary with "ipsum lorem" with an ASCII goatse in the middle and laugh as it goes unnoticed.

I came to a realization recently that successful Hollywood actors are especially vulnerable to weirdo propaganda because they haven’t had to live or exist in the real world in decades so they’re free to invent their own. That’s how we ended up with vagina candles and Rob Schneider.

Why two months? Do they think they'll somehow grow a useful majority by then?

The cynic in me says they want to cause a shutdown but want it to occur as close to the election as possible.

There are absolutely ways to poll with statistically meaningful results, and it's possible that even now the polls broadly reflects current beliefs. It's that we have to both consider whether the polls are statistically rigorous, and whether those current beliefs will actually look like what happens 11 months from now when people go physically pull the levers.

Not sure how much the HolIywood bubble had to do with Schneider. Feel like Rob Schneiders annoying rear end in a top hat shtick was probably just never not an act.

Nah, this I can understand.

"All of these people, in fact everyone I meet and talk to and see on the TV keep saying all these mean things about Trump(tm), but he keeps on going and fighting, and struggling etc. Wheras a less tough man would give up. That's why he is so great."

It's stupid, wrong, and provably untrue. But I can understand the sentiment.

It kinda rules that trungo hasn't, to my knowledge, elaborated on any campaign promises, hopes for the future, or policies or anything. Every rally has just been vowing to punish anyone who's ever wronged him, or complaining about poo poo that doesn't exist, like needing an ID to go to the grocery store. Seriously, what the gently caress is he talking about?

His campaign is literally “make America great” which he had 4 years to do and did such a poo poo job that he lost the re-election he should’ve handily won. He hosed up the tax code, killed a million-plus people by denying COVID was real, and he made a disastrous impact on the US’s power projection around the world that resulted in the Russian invasion of Ukraine because Putin knew what a cowardly dumb bitch he was.
