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.

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.

2018-08-28 08:20:52 UTC  

You just don't know the tricks of the trade for polls

2018-08-28 08:20:52 UTC  

But I've been around long enough to be able to sort out trash from not trash.

2018-08-28 08:20:57 UTC  

No, I do.

2018-08-28 08:21:01 UTC  

Trust me. I do.

2018-08-28 08:21:06 UTC  

Way more than you will ever know.

2018-08-28 08:21:09 UTC  

HaCk ThE eLeCtIoN

2018-08-28 08:21:10 UTC  

It's not just incompetence. Plenty of MALICE is involved as well.
