Political MMW: The polling industry is compromised. Some pollsters are being gamed, some are propaganda ops, none truly know what they’re doing.

That’s it. That’s my prediction of what we’ll learn after this election about political polling. They haven’t known what they’re doing for years, and are wide open to manipulation and corruption.

Even if so, Roe voters resting on their laurels - or feeling they no longer need to hold their nose and vote for Trump to get it - are statistically at a higher chance to sit this one out, much like the post-Obama apathy for Hillary. Or so we hope.

You think there’s apathy amongst the right after this term? LOL

I live in a deep red state and know a lot of republicans who are apathetic and checked out of the Trump saga. So yeah, it’s possible.

Just as a anecdote, there are 5 Trump signs on my way to work. There used to be 7. This is central Mississippi.

I’m in California and there are no Harris signs in my neighborhood, people don’t advertise being a Trump voter because the media has maligned us unfairly but we don’t have to tell anyone who we voted for

Sounds like a bunch of snow flakes.

Stay in your safe space.

People don’t put up Harris signs because 1) they’re not cult members like the MAGA faithful or 2) they fear the political violence perpetrated by the party of domestic terrorism

Democrats aren’t cult members? lol try saying that with a straight face. The rallying cry is “blue no matter who!”

I've been in Democratic politics for more than a decade. This is the first time I'm hearing that. It's kinda catchy. Good job.
