    The polls are wrong more often than not. I question why we even have them. That being said, you can’t claim polls are BS only when they’re saying things you don’t like.

      You can if you’re a conservative, it’s kind of their thing. They lie about everything.

          The liberals and the conservatives are both massive con artists that have absolutely zero interest in benefiting the working class. The conservatives are also crazed evangelists, cowards, hateful, and traitorous to our nation. I hope they all fucking die, but I hope it for the conservatives a little bit harder.

      What do you mean by “wrong”? I can’t remember the last time a poll was wrong.

      The polls are wrong more often than not.

      [citation needed]

      Polls are generally pretty good, especially for reliable polling firms. The problem is people don’t understand what they mean, and media often does a poor job at explaining them.

      To give lazy reporters something insubstantial to talk about. It’s half a step up from standing on a street corner shoving a mic in people’s faces.
