    Not trying to be a conspiracy theorist or anything but pushing the idea of a democratic win through the polls would be a useful way to try and relax voter turnout.

    Don’t trust polls, they don’t mean squat. Vote like your life depends on it.

      Counterpoint: people might stay home if they feel the battle is unwinnable.

      Absolutely.

      When it comes to the polls, they just are what they are.

      They are biased, unreliable and sometimes manipulated.

      But it’s election season and we need the polls to get insight in what people are thinking.

      What do you mean don’t trust polls? They were perfectly cromulent back in 2016 when they perpectly prodicted that Hillary Clinton won.

      Surry, I just realized what dimension I’m in. You poor basturds.
