That argument applies to Biden too.

The main issue is that no one can generate random samples anymore. Not via landlines anyways. The problem is that scientific polling is nearly impossible now.

One problem is cost. It takes millions of dollars to do a truly scientific poll these days. Robocalls don’t work anymore due to cell phone penetration. The phonebook is dead, and along with it any credible listings of numbers that represent real people. Plus very low response rates and spam filters blocking much of polling calls even then. You pretty much have to go door-to-door in order to get a truly good poll, which is something few organizations can do.

As a result, most cheaply done polls use non-random samples and add a giant “fudge factor” to make it look random. It’s not clear how there models really work and there’s no way to audit them.

LOL

It’s also known as Appeasement. Liberals that always compromise on everything, especial their core beliefs, are basically part of the problem.

We are not obligated to believe in Marx either. In fact, last I check nearly everyone agreed he was wrong on a lot of things. It’s all outdated extremist rhetoric, regardless of where it came from.

Same-old closet fascist shit you always hear. It’s pretty obvious you don’t care how many people die. So none of your rhetoric holds up to scrutiny.

Pretty obvious that’s you.

Yeah, same pro-fascist shit as always. Seen your type a thousands times now.

Again, you’re an apologist for white nationalism.

Again, you are a white nationalism apologist. The problem here is you.

US isn’t Russia. Nor is this something no one else has ever done. It’s basically an argument from nihilism to claim that commonly solved social problems are unsolvable or aren’t part of natural progress in society.

Climate doomerism is also a form of nihilism BTW, although it is off-topic.

There comes a point when you become just a white nationalism apologist. As such, you can go fuck yourself.

No one said otherwise. But you won’t have this congress and this SCOTUS forever.

And again, it is basic legal reform. It is not some hard problem. And since nearly every Western country has both universal health care and gun control, it is pretty feasible for those ideas to spread to the US at some point. All your doing is apologizing for the modern incarnation of racist violence.

The point is that opposition to both is not some permanent feature of the US government. Nor will the SCOTUS always be far right.

As the saying goes, “this too shall pass.” No one can say when, but major political shifts always happen after a while.

When half the country is literally fascist, sure you can admit it isn’t going to happen anytime soon. But that is a temporary phenomenon. Eventually, all of them will die. At some point, the US will be a country run by normal people. You’re going to have large-scale agreement for major reforms.

How many countries have pulled it off? It’s laughable to think it is impossible here. Everything I’ve suggested has already been implemented elsewhere. It’s pretty logical to assume it can happen here too.

Because everything today is exactly as it was when the US constitution was first ratified…

This is anti-progress thinking. It’s laughable that you actually think basic legal reforms can’t happen.

It’s the same story as every other form of cruelty or injustice in American history. People look abroad, realize that such a problem never existed or was solved elsewhere, and eventually will push for the same type of reform in the US.

It doesn’t matter how long it takes or how hard it is. It’s the same story as every other big accomplish of the past, whether it’s ending slavery or women’s voting rights. They took decades to happen, but they all eventually happened.
