Fuck you and your polls. I repeat again the words of James Carey: Polling is "an attempt to simulate public opinion in order to prevent an authentic public opinion from forming." This and its play is The TImes' agenda. Objective, my ass. - ThreadSky

Never want to hear a crack about the “liberal” NYT again. They are all in on Trump, they want him back so bad for obvious reasons

I have no idea whether the author of this piece is credible. Are there legitimate political scientists or statisticians who can speak to the allegations made about the NYT/Sienna survey methodology?

NYT writers are the High Priests of what @jayrosen.bsky.social called the Church of the Savvy way back in 2010. And it's only gotten worse.

"...the savvy don’t say: I have a better argument than you… They say: I am closer to reality than you. And more mature."

I just wish we had a better option. We get to choose between an ancient old man who is, at best, center-right, and an anti-democratic ancient old man who tried an insurrection.
