Mid 20s gen z here. I'll be sure to vote for Biden. All in all he's pretty alright in my book. Sure things could be better, but that's going to take a bit more time, hopefully his successors will be better.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Pffft.. I've been microdosing for years and I would never believe that shit!
Here's a writeup by FiveThirtyEight that happens to now be a part of ABC but didn't participate in this pill: How outlier polls happen — and what to do with them
These polls also don't sample people who use call screening (Google Voice for me) to ask unknown callers to say their name, because this breaks most robodialers.
That's a good write-up. I generally agree with 538's philosophy on outliers, include them in the data but weigh them less heavily.
Can we have politicians that are at least 20 years younger than moscow mitch?
Only if like 15 million more young voters show up to primaries. Fat chance, mate.
Polling has fallen into the same problem as everything else, they just skew the methods to make the numbers fit a narrative, be that the person paying them or some misguided ideas. Polling has been shit for years now, just ignore it
Now let’s watch how quickly that piece of shit coward uses these polls to validate his tyrannical campaign to rule America. And remember: these are the “fake news networks.”
Honesty don’t understand how his dipshit supported can’t see how it’s always fake new when it’s negative, but when the most “untrustworthy” and hated news sources suddenly post things that are positive towards him- they magically become accurate.
You’ve got to be braindead to make any logical sense from that.
Msuhrooms sound real good, guess that's a plan for the weekend.
You'd have to be a fox "news" watcher.
More bullshit from our bullshit media ~ "Can't understand how a high plains grifter got elected!?"
