But

2018-05-25 18:59:12 UTC  

No you can't ducking have t both ways, polls either apply or they dont

2018-05-25 18:59:14 UTC  

"Every time we see one poll that helps us, we get so happy, but all the other ones our response is "muh they're just polls""

no, when I see a poll that favors us, I argue that it shows that polls aren't supporting the left's narrative as much as they want. Polls favoring GOP are not to be trusted either

don't put words in our mouth

2018-05-25 18:59:28 UTC  

they do but we shouldn't shut down opportunities because of it

2018-05-25 18:59:35 UTC  

basically, if one subscribes to the idea that polls are super reliable, then they have to accept GOP favored polls as well

2018-05-25 18:59:36 UTC  

this has revealed a new opportunity to us

2018-05-25 18:59:51 UTC  

now, I don't view them as reliable, ergo I'm not "happy" when I see them come out in our favor

2018-05-25 19:00:25 UTC  

I don't rely on them at all, they're all bullshit, the only worthy polls I think are policy polls.

2018-05-25 19:00:42 UTC  

How are they all bullshit?

2018-05-25 19:00:50 UTC  

Historical evidence is much more reliable than polls

2018-05-25 19:01:12 UTC  

you want to hear some historical evidence

2018-05-25 19:01:15 UTC  

@ThatRightWingFish the vast majority of polls said that is was impossible for trump to carry PA WI and MI

2018-05-25 19:01:17 UTC  

let's pretend it's October, 2016

2018-05-25 19:01:38 UTC  

Ok

2018-05-25 19:02:04 UTC  

Why the hell is Trump campaigning in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania? A republican hasn't won there since 1992, the trends show Democrats winning them for decades.

2018-05-25 19:03:55 UTC  

As I said, it's because of the positions Trump ran on which allowed him to win there. The trend argument upholds itself, because the trend was a generic republican can't win those states because of the positions of the party.

2018-05-25 19:04:08 UTC  

It's not the trend of the result, it's the all the context involved

2018-05-25 19:04:08 UTC  

but Republicans don't win there

2018-05-25 19:04:12 UTC  

That's not true

2018-05-25 19:04:13 UTC  

exactly

2018-05-25 19:04:17 UTC  

PA state house is republican

2018-05-25 19:04:24 UTC  

so is MN

2018-05-25 19:04:27 UTC  

Eh

2018-05-25 19:04:30 UTC  

Those are all RINOs

2018-05-25 19:04:38 UTC  

If you actually look their their state reps

2018-05-25 19:04:48 UTC  

They're really not anywhere near the republican you want them to be

2018-05-25 19:04:50 UTC  

well it's still majority R isn't it

2018-05-25 19:04:56 UTC  

Also their state senate is democrat

2018-05-25 19:05:09 UTC  

Lol you're pussy footing with that

2018-05-25 19:05:50 UTC  

That argument would mean we Flake and McCain stand for good right wit policy because they have an (R) next to their name

2018-05-25 19:06:07 UTC  

it's about our opportunity

2018-05-25 19:06:25 UTC  

Who said they were perfect?

2018-05-25 19:06:29 UTC  

No one

2018-05-25 19:06:49 UTC  

What we possibly could win. I'm not saying MN is a red state, but it is absolutely not impossible to win MN or NJ.

2018-05-25 19:07:00 UTC  

My point is, the trend argument is well substantiated because historical evidence is always more reliable than modern polls

2018-05-25 19:07:05 UTC  

2018 is our beg

2018-05-25 19:07:07 UTC  

Bet*

2018-05-25 19:07:11 UTC  

for what

2018-05-25 19:07:11 UTC  

It's staying blue

2018-05-25 19:07:15 UTC  

MN?

2018-05-25 19:07:18 UTC  

Yeah
