Who gives a shit about polls. They aren't accurate and are biased. Just go and vote in November!

[–] CaptainSpaceman@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (2 children)

But then MSM wouldnt be able to spin!

Also, these headlines makes it seem like trump won the debate when clearly everyone single person in America lost.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Hillary won all of her debates.

Just sayin’.

An individual poll might be but agreggate polls definitely can show a trend. The trend is not good for Biden. He took all the wind out of his sails last week. I'm in the anyone but trump camp but how can anyone in good faith argue with an undecided that Biden has another four years in him?

Records are great but elections are about the future.

This is the way. Ignore all polls and vote!

Atta boy, you keep matching that death march into fascism.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

....except the polls are wrong bc Trump is landsliding....

That debate fail doomed Biden and America.

Hopefully someone can stop worrying about Uncle Joe's feelings and hold an intervention so it only dooms Biden.

Someone = Obama

If Barack decides to save America, it can be done by midnight EST.

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He wasn't particularly keen on Biden 2020, so I wonder how much influence he really has with him personally. He could rally the troops for an intervention though.

[–] dogsnest@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

By "troops", you mean 60% of Americans?

[–] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months ago

I don't think they matter to Joe, I think Democratic megadonors and powerful elected officials are the people who could get through.

[–] SaltySalamander@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago

Explain how that happens?
