I thought the Trumpist dismissals of polling this cycle were silly, but going forward I don't know how anyone can take it that seriously. Maybe it can measure shifts in favor of one candidate or another, but the percentages are not reliable.

A narrative that will be lost to this madness is that in the US we now have only 7 states where Marijuana is fully illegal (no form of medical/recreational), South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Kansas, Wyoming, Idaho, and Wisconsin.

South Dakota has fallen from the above ranks, as well as a slew of other states getting more green and allowing recreational that previously were medical only.

magic mushrooms were legalized in several areas, and Oregon decriminalized all hard drugs. queue gold rush migration of crack heads i guess.

how is a house previously held up with 50 pylons still standing on 7, thats the question american people must ask themselves in the infancy of a Biden presidency or Trump 2nd term.


What? Care to try that one again? Oregon legalized the sale of magic mushrooms, and they reclassified drug possession charges to lesser offenses resulting in a minor fine. The drugs are still illegal, but instead of being slammed for being a junkie, now they only target dealers with felony charges.

2018 polling was mostly correct though.


Not just a "Trumpist" thing. I haven't spoken to anyone who believed the polls. Even the Biden campaign said the polls were wrong, and people need to get out and vote, don't get comfortable.

The only people I saw who really tried to talk up the polls were the media and random PaRDians, tbh.

I honestly think we should just wipe this polling from our memory. It's not that the polls are necessarily bad, it's that there was a god damn pandemic and Trump was the incumbent. If ever there was a time for models to not capture anything it's this year.

If next round it's 2 boring candidates again, polls will be more accurate. If it remains fucking crazy, polls aren't gonna be accurate. Just gonna have to judge on a case by case basis.

speaking as someone who lives in Des Moines, it isn't close to the demographic that a larger city like MKE/Detroit/Minneaplis has etc

it is a classic mid sized city, not to be confused with a metro population. I don't know what the African American population is here, but it is still fairly low I would guess without doing research on it

there was never a question Iowa was going red because even in Des Moines, the most educated and populous city in Des Moines, it feels like it was still fairly split between red and blue. Then when you count the rest of sheitland Iowa the result is foregone conclusion

you are posting here thinking after all of your negative posts that any consideration is given to your 'honestly thinking' ?
