    i dont know what point of mine youre arguing against

    i dont trust political polls in general, and as far as political polls go this one is on the lower end. all i did was make comparisons to other (larger) polls that did not manage to capture the true distribution of voter intent

      Did you seriously make claims about poll data without checking your source?

          I just want to chime in and say I don’t disagree with you. Your tone wasn’t dismissive or condescending at all and the disparaging comments replying to you are pretty rude.

          I’ve only been around Lemmy a short time so my sample size is quite small too, but I’ve seen a lot of rude condescending pricks around here so far. There’s all these threads talk about a great lemmy is and how much better than Reddit it is but I’m just seeing a bunch of assholes so far tbh. That doesn’t have anything to do with this post or thread, just venting.

          Try reading the link you shared and reading your comment bright guy.

            Why are you so aggressive and condescending? Bring it in will you, you’re making lemmy a toxic shithole like Reddit and this community is like five seconds old.

              The irony.

              His bad faith “i don’t know what I said” shtick is just as shitty as your play the victim bullshit.

      I suspect your ignorance of how samples sizes work is the root if why you don’t trust polling. You can easily learn that in an hour or so if you care to fix it.

        Speaking for myself, the reason I don’t trust polls is because of how wrong they all were in 2016. Your response is rude and condescending and not at all appropriate. You’re the asshole here, but it’ll probably take you more than an hour or so to fix that.

          Their entire premise is flawed from the start and if they are adult enough to be discussing polling they likely can take a mild jab. Im not calling them stupid I’m saying they do not understand something that isn’t part of the general education.

          At no point have I addressed you personally let alone with any degree of incivility so how dare you take that tone with me. You are the worst sort of hypocrite if you aren’t just a sockpuppet for the other guy.
