A modest proposal.

At this point, whether Biden steals the election or not, one thing is clear. The polls were not only wrong, they were outright propaganda.

We do a disservice by re-posting media polls here. They are made up, designed to push a narrative and to suppress turnout.

Those +17 Biden in Wisconsin. +12 Biden in Pennsylvania. +15 Biden National polls were designed to discourage the lower information voters and to make them think voting wasn't even necessary.

With razor thin margins in MI, WI, AZ and NV, giving any credibility to these polls in the future is damaging.

I propose an outright ban on posting media polls on FR.

Only four pollsters were in the ballpark. Trafalgar, The Big Data Poll, Rasmussen and Susquehanna. Every single poll, in virtually every race was a scam.

We shouldn't repost that propaganda here any more.

[Red Badger]

‘Media Polls’.... What about Rasmussen?.............

[CatOwner]

Those polls weren’t meant for members of this forum.

Some countries actually OUTLAW polling for the week or so prior to an election, so that would be a great start.

In this case, the way the media/polling outfits saw it, most of the Dems had voted early, some very, very early, and that Election Day relied on Republican turnout - so it was a no brainer this time, suppress the vote on Election Day, which Trump was going to win by something like 2:1, and you’re killing off 2 Republican votes for every Democrat vote. Now, 4 years ago, when the media wanted to suppress, they did, by showing Hillary running away with it...but they lost just as many Dem votes as Republican votes.

The bottom line is that this crap has to end - the numbers they posted to suppress our vote were INTENTIONAL and they should be jailed for it, in my opinion.

I saw Lutz saying on TMZ that some 20% of Trump voters , when asked, they denied they support Trump (for fear of backlash...)

After reading your post, how can anyone say that if somehow they kick Trump out, we can still keep typing and not fighting.

We will need to fight, physically.

It sucks.

But if we don’t, like I said before, they’re gonna get us anyway sooner or later.

Who gives a #### about holding the senate with a few lefty Rs giving us the edge.

That mattered for Judges when Trump is president.

I think the senate is a bone thrown by dems so we will think “hey at least we got the senate!”

After 2016 I couldn’t believe any polster could show their face in 2020.

Keep this in mind, at all times:

-a pandemic came to America and destroyed millions of livelihoods,

-state Dem governors' incompetence killed 200k+ people,

-the citizenry has been forced to wear masks, destroying personal interactions

-people's right to worship has been gutted, with state complicity,

-the attendant loneliness has hastened suicide and depression increases,

-race relations, which were improving, were thrown under the bus by several provocateurs taking advantage of unfortunate situations,

-America experienced Antifa-driven riots and looting and arson over the summer,

-States used the pandemic to expand fraud-prone Mail-in balloting,

-Social media platforms explicitly blocked and tarnished messages from the President to the public,

-hostile debate "mediators" actively shut down Trump and let Biden speak uninterrupted,

-the Hunter Biden saga was intentionally shunned by the media AND blocked by Twitter,

-poll after depression-engineered poll claimed a Blue Wave was inevitable,

....and yet, Trump may STILL win one of the closest elections ever.

What are pollsters paid to do? Certainly not to tell us the truth. In fact, can anyone justify why they exist?

[BookmanTheJanitor]

Also, can we also agree that Fox and Drudge suck? (like they have for years). Freepers acting surprised at this fact always amazes me.

[Battle Axe]

What did Frank Luntz do before he tried polling?

[DoodleBob]

Pole dancing?

[Getready]

Good idea. We also need a 24 hour voting day holiday. That is all...plus legit absentee ballot. This fraud hasta stop.

[Jamestown1630]

Who pays them in the first place? Follow the money.

But your vanity thread, the 107th today, is perfectly fine.

Get over yourself.

If the Presidency goes D, the Senate is the only thing stopping court packing and D rubber stamp lawmaking. (With no 60 vote filibuster rule ). That my FRiend is the end of America as we know it.
