OK. What makes you think it's all wrong.

2018-08-28 08:15:56 UTC  

Have you, as a person, ever been polled for something like that?

2018-08-28 08:16:02 UTC  

I've never been polled.

2018-08-28 08:16:20 UTC  

No. But I've done poll work so I know how easily you can manipulate things if that's where you're going.

2018-08-28 08:16:26 UTC  

How many people have you met in your life that have been polled?

2018-08-28 08:16:30 UTC  

But polling in the US is reasonably good.

2018-08-28 08:16:36 UTC  

How are we so certain these pollsters don't just hang around shopping malls?

2018-08-28 08:16:45 UTC  

Well for one, I get the phone calls.

2018-08-28 08:16:55 UTC  

But I rarely answer those calls.

2018-08-28 08:17:15 UTC  

The bias in phone responses tends to over-emphasize the elderly.

2018-08-28 08:17:22 UTC  

For that reason.

2018-08-28 08:17:44 UTC  

Not an argument.

2018-08-28 08:17:48 UTC  

I'd like to print this and frame it.

2018-08-28 08:17:50 UTC  

Right

2018-08-28 08:17:55 UTC  

The argument is: 2016

2018-08-28 08:17:58 UTC  

IF you want.

2018-08-28 08:18:12 UTC  

But simply because it happened in 2016 does not imply it happens in 2018.

2018-08-28 08:18:24 UTC  

Your faith is amusing.

2018-08-28 08:18:35 UTC  

So saying "Trump won 2016 and therefore Republicans win 2018" is a little fallacious.

2018-08-28 08:18:39 UTC  

You think everyone with a job is doing it well.

2018-08-28 08:18:50 UTC  

No. I think there's a number of people who are.

2018-08-28 08:18:54 UTC  

To the best of their ability

2018-08-28 08:18:57 UTC  

im with scribble on this one, the polls are unreliable

2018-08-28 08:18:58 UTC  

Pollsters tend to try and be objective.

2018-08-28 08:19:22 UTC

2018-08-28 08:19:29 UTC  

Watch the Penn and Teller episode on NUMBERS

2018-08-28 08:19:30 UTC  

Both parties rely on it for strategy and contract it all out. And you don't deceive yourself if you're talking strategy.

2018-08-28 08:19:35 UTC  

I believe it's the numbers episode anyway

2018-08-28 08:19:42 UTC  

people fear for SJW backlash

2018-08-28 08:19:46 UTC  

y'all being rude

2018-08-28 08:19:46 UTC  

Where the pollsters do whatever they have to do, to get the answers they're AFTER.

2018-08-28 08:19:47 UTC  

so they lie or dont tell

2018-08-28 08:19:48 UTC  

ree

2018-08-28 08:19:50 UTC  

And they do it all the fucking time.

2018-08-28 08:20:09 UTC  

I'm not going to argue there. But political pollsters do tend to try and stay sorta objective.

2018-08-28 08:20:16 UTC  

The News polls are not the most reliable.

2018-08-28 08:20:17 UTC  

```Watch the Penn and Teller episode on NUMBERS```
I'm dead serious. Do this.

2018-08-28 08:20:23 UTC  

Will do.

2018-08-28 08:20:32 UTC  

>Penn and Teller
lmao

2018-08-28 08:20:38 UTC  

But if you're saying social sciences are full of trash, you're talking to the choir here.
