How am I against the 1st Amendment, in your own words?
How so? How am I against freedom of speech, in your own words?
I don't want to have anything to do with them, why would I want to encamp them where I have to watch over them?
I already told you, they are too stupid to change.
Not at all. Public polling does not do that. That is not its purpose. That is not why they are commissioned.
I remember telling Conservatives in January and February of 2022 that there's a good chance Democrats retain the House and Truth Detector or one of those bozos said that the GOP was going to win 50 seats.
Oh is that right, dear?
Your patronizing attitude is just as bad, if not worse, than any overt and explicit thing I call your dumb ass.
Piece of shit.
Who do you think they are spinning the polls for, you dumb fucking moron?
Not those meant for public consumption versus those done for campaign teams. But, they basically use the same methods. Hillary's team found her weak in those areas of swing states she lost. They advised more campaigning in those areas but others disagreed.
Where did we learn polls use AI to complete unfinished numbers?

I'll take your post here as a concession that you have no fucking idea what you're talking about so you try to talk down to someone who just bested you in a debate.
Right, I'm talking about the public ones, which are completely different than internal polling.
No they do not.
Internal polling is completely different than public polling. Internal polling relies on a dependable list of reliable respondents, not called at random...they have way more detailed information about who they're polling through the various datamining the campaigns do.
That's what Paul Manafort was sharing with Konstantin Kilimnik to give to Oleg Deripaska in 2016...the actual collusion that occurred.
I don't think Trump's influence comes from polls because I doubt that many MAGA (or other Americans) read them. They get their news from social media, TV, talk radio.
The J6 rioters didn't read a poll and say "let's attack the Capitol." They listened to Trump and his supporters.
I thought it was in the NYT, pretty sure it was from January...I'd have to find it.
And you were both wrong. Of course, those elections were so close that polls can only come within the margin of error and not the exact number of seats.

Agreed for the most part. Trump's campaign group, no doubt, uses polls, but I doubt Trump or the MAGAts read them, understand them or trust them.
It always appeared his campaign strategy just came from his intuition, bravado, and reaction of the crowd. But, he apparently has a very sophisticated campaign team. I'm not sure if he follows their advice because I can't imagine them telling him to say some of the things he does. But, his methods win him a lot of votes. He makes people think he hates the same people they do.

Excellent point and agreed. Trump always sees himself as the smartest man in the room.
Notice the type of people who vote for him. It's a sad commentary on Americans.

I honestly can't be sure if that's true or not,
but I certainly hope that Steele has it right.
Our Democratic Party is a center-right party in almost any other nation in the world.
We don't need a party to the right of them.
We need a viable party to the left of them.
