• In the bag

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to AARON THOMAS on Monday, September 19, 2022 18:34:00
    So... we're down to the "Republicans are stupid" argument?

    The leftists are propagating the notion that the election is in the bag.

    Are they? I don't see any evidence of that. I think most of them want to
    be sure that their fellow left-leaners get out and vote.

    Oh, it's out there. But it's the usual propaganda that we see every election season and now that we know that the Media is really the Propaganda Ministry, we've just gotten into the habit of ignoring it.

    But it does seem a little lighter than previous years.

    And I think this is the reason. They don't want their minions to stay home thinking "it's in the bag" and losing by an even bigger margin.

    But another reason is that non-elitists are simply not answering polls. So the numbers that they are getting are very skewed - more than normal.

    That's the subliminal message that I receive when I hear "Biden polling lower than any other president in history."

    I don't believe that anyone who voted Biden in 2016 won't do so again in 2024. He's done nothing to lose their trust, because they trust snakes and snake oil salesmen.

    So to sum this up...

    The leftists are propagating the notion that the election is in the bag, just like they always do, except not as much as they usually do because they don't want their voters getting too comfortable, except that it looks like more
    than usual because the rightists are refusing to participate in polls.

    So it looks like more than it is, which it isn't, because it always is?

    What kind of nonsense is this?

    Also, there's more than polling than just asking a bunch of people some questions ad adding up the answers. For one thing, they're corrected for ideological bias.

    Jeff.
