nate silver created a brand new thing in 2008, and it only took the ratfuck industry 14 years to figure out how to manipulate polls to promote an image that does not exist. and the corporate media, the corporate political media specifically, has gotten so lazy with it’s predictably and highly inaccurate “both side”-erism coverage of politics that they will take any poll, report it as highly credible (because polling drives everything, even ones where specific people are selected “randomly” to drive narratives).
these are the same polling outfits who will find the evangelical black gay trans person who is also maga and use that obvious statistical outlier to promote a surge in multiple demographics towards trump.
