I think everyone said that the Wisconsin poll was an outlier. They probably interviewed the one rural trans-faggot in Wisconsin and his voice spoke for all the poor whites there.



the media didnt. it was an abc/wapo poll and even 538 said it shouldn’t be dismissed. in fact they said it’s a “gold standard” poll https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-to-make-of-that-new-wisconsin-poll-that-has-biden-way-ahead/

And this is not an easy poll to disregard. ABC News/Washington Post adheres to what we consider the gold-standard methodology (meaning they use live phone interviewers, call cell phones as well as landlines and participate in the American Association for Public Opinion Research’s Transparency Initiative or the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research archive) and earns an A+ grade in FiveThirtyEight’s pollster ratings database. 1 The poll single-handedly increased Biden’s lead in our polling average of Wisconsin from 7.1 points to 9.0 points, and it is currently the most influential poll in our forecast of Wisconsin, where Biden’s chances of winning the state have reached a new high as a result

Polls dont reflect public opinion, they are designed to shape public opinion.

If an American genuinely thinks Trump is Hitler, the incentive for fraud skyrockets.

It shouldn't be dismissed in the sense that it's a legitimate data point. There are flaws with using polling averages but it's the best tool we have unfortunately. You just have to toss it onto the pile and move on.

Admit defeat. Concede. Start the transition process fully so Joe is up to speed on the pandemic. Work with intelligent human beings to make the necessary short term decisions for Covid. Get the senate to sign a bare bones stimulus. End like someone who actually gave a fuck about the job to begin with.

He needs a long string of hail mary passes and the Supreme Court to essentially gut how mail in voting works moving forward and remove states rights to govern their own election processes.

Yea, Biden lost that's why Dems are in hiding right now. They are about to get arrested. :)
