    Man, you read what you want, dontcha? It ain't about me, it's about their results, which have been progressively getting worse and worse. The 'about me' was just examples of why it's harder (impossible?) to get good polls like in the past. Fewer land lines, no public directories, caller-ID, and on and on. For a sample to be valid, it has to be a truly random, non-self-selected group of individuals, and even if we let people opt-in to pollsters having their cell numbers, just that one small step is a bit of self-selection.

    But hey. you do you man, I'm just explaining why I don't trust polls anymore.

    Bribed Biden's political persecution Trump isn't helping Bribed Biden's Polling Numbers.

    AP POLL: Biden approvals still tanking

    'the president has spent the last several weeks attempting to sell Bidenomics to an inflation-battered electorate. It turns out that the voters aren’t buying it, likely because it’s too damned expensive.'

    'Biden remains bottomed out on overall job approval and on the economy, where he has remained for the past 18 months:.'

    Several weeks of Bribed Joe gaslighting about the 'positive impacts of his policies' hasn't impressed the public at all.

    64% of folks can't say that they approve of Biden’s handling of the economy, and 58% can't say that they approve of him overall.

    And Bribed Joe is getting so desperate that he's trying to jail his opponent, former president Trump, during the election season.

    That's pretty desperate!

    “That which is for me through the medium of money—that for which I can pay (i.e., which money can buy)—that am I myself, the possessor of the money. The extent of the power [p. 129] of money is the extent of my power. Money’s properties are my—the possessor’s—properties and essential powers. Thus, what I am and am capable of is by no means determined by my individuality. I am ugly, but I can buy for myself the most beautiful of women. Therefore I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness—its deterrent power—is nullified by money.

    I, according to my individual characteristics, am lame, but money furnishes me with twenty-four feet. Therefore I am not lame. I am bad, dishonest, unscrupulous, stupid; but money is honoured, and hence its possessor. Money is the supreme good, therefore its possessor is good. Money, besides, saves me the trouble of being dishonest: I am therefore presumed honest. I am brainless, but money is the real brain of all things and how then should its possessor be brainless? Besides, he can buy clever people for himself, and is he who hasa power over the clever not more clever than the clever?

    Do not I, who thanks to money am capable of all that the human heart longs for, possess all human capacities? Does not my money, therefore, transform all my incapacities into their contrary? (1844 Manuscripts, Marx, p. 129-30)(pdf.)."

    'WELL, YES: “Is there some concern that you’re criminalizing normal political activity?”'

    'Criminalizing the opposition isn’t an overshoot, it’s the goal.'

    'whether all these actions were taken with the intent to just double check results. Because candidates do have the right to request recounts and to make sure that things are normal and to raise questions and to try motions in court and all this kind of stuff.... the fear would be that now we’re entering a period where every time somebody loses an election and makes any kind of complaint about it they’re going to get charged with racketeering. That would, obviously, be a problem.'

    GEE, YA THINK?
