General Discussion

I think polling is useless as long as we allow them to get away with cheating. We've been doing it since at least Y2000, and probably prior to that. If we agree that most everything they accuse us of is simply projection, then they've been cheating for a long, long time. Only now, they don't care if they do it out in public and to our face. They feel (and it seems rightly - that we're powerless to fight them). Differences in polling between what was conjectured and what turned out to be, are symbolic of the difference that cheating causes. But we've never dared look at it that way, because the magas have screamed bloody murder about "cheating" after each and every election, even when they WIN the election! Powerful Democrats don't want to be seen as the same type of ilk as these inveterate victims of republicanism, and so they downplay or keep silent altogether about possible cheating. And they HAVE to shake off that fear. This is one place where they're falling far behind us. We're not being radical about it - we're being reasonable and rational. But there's no one to hear us, it seems, and what does get out is declared too often to be CT. This is too frustrating to a LOT of people especially while we're also trying to fight the fascism on our own.

I'm a big user of the term "hearts and minds" while also finding it a pretty useless meme. Face it, we're never going to win the heart OR mind of any dedicated maga. And so, this holds us back more than it works in our favor, IMO. YMMV.
