    I feel like RealClear tried something like this in 2022 where they started showing a stronger Red wave that wasn’t there.

    49 fake polls found to have been created, omitting silly things like saying only 10% of Penn voters will view this year. This is a set up, to justify the legal cases or fake elector schemes. Look how close the race was, they’re is no way that we lost by so much, must be fraud!

      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.

    Pennsylvania is so fucking mystifying. It’s such a fucking weird purple state considering it has fucking Philadelphia in it.

    As I’ve been saying, ignore the polls when she’s ahead, and ignore the polls when she’s behind.

    Vote. Make plans to get your friends, family, and neighbors to vote. Take the day off. Help people get to the polls if you live in one of the barbaric states that still don’t have mail-in voting. Don’t doom-and-gloom about one set of polls - we all know polling is pretty fucked up at this point, anyway. As long as you vote, she’s got this.
