Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Sure. Now that reality doesn't agree with your delusional vision of the world "it doesn't matter"

So stop with the obvious attempts to disrupt an election and just let us get on with it, mmmmkay?

Or maybe, your attempt to deny reality is genuinely hurting the Democrats chances. Its fucking identical, what you are doing, to what happened in 2016. Its exactly what was happening before Biden dropped out.

You, quite literally, are the problem, and are significantly damaging Democrats chances this November.

I’m voting and hurting nothing but calling out bias. Walk away. Your bullshit polls are what’s hurting. But that’s the point… right?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You aren't here to help Democrats win.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

lol… okay buddy. Carry on with your polling data that always seems to miraculously support your bias.

I’m sure no one that matters is buying it.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Its -quite fucking literally- because I use data to form my opinions. When the data disagrees with my opinion, I do this crazy fucking thing, where I change my opinion.

Its called "living in fact based world". Look it up.

[–] Soup@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But that impossible when your data always agrees with your agenda.

We’re done man. This is pointless.

These are just "national polls". Its not a new analysis. I run thousands of these kinds of analyses every month. Check my post on Bidens probability of winning. Check my post structural bias in polling. I'm sorry reality isn't what you want it to be, but that very much is a "you" problem.

Also, I shared the code with you. You can do your own work on it. Come up with an argument based on the data that validates or invalidates your thesis.

I called Biden dropping out literally 8 months before it happened, and basically to the week. Some asshole here still owes me $200 (I think they deleted their account over it). I called Kamala being the nom. I also thought it she was a great candidate, and she blew past my expectations for performance. I also called a decline/ stagnation in her polling if she didn't come out strongly on the issue of Israel Gaza.

Its literally all written into my post and comment history, just there, for any one to see.

I said I’m done.

Walk away.

You can leave any time kiddo.
