Polls are crap

It’s a little bit notable how they change over time, but mostly it is just a bunch of poor methodology noise

    Lets compare apples to apples, shall we?

    Trump: Let’s shoot all the Mexicans

    Biden: No asylum for “illegal immigrants”, the border patrol gets even more money now, and we’ll waive environmental regulations to build the wall through the habitats of endangered species.

    With friends like these, who needs enemies?

      Just like a non stop avalanche of bad faith bullshit from you guys, huh

      I dealt with the immigration issue at a lot more length back in my comments from a while ago; I don’t really want to dig it back up and copy paste it, because what’s the point. But short summary, you’re wrong.

        And what if I am wrong?

        Quibbling about minor differences in policy isn’t going to convince non-voters to vote.

        If we can’t be honest about the Dem’s weak position in this election then we’ll never be able to change the course of future history.
