    Arguments can be wrong in multiple ways

    “The polls are not reliable, but even if they were, they don’t show what you say they show” is not two contradictory statements that invalidate one another

    (There’s a whole separate issue that confounding factors make the polls bad metrics of the overall reality, but you can still look at relative difference within the same poll from week to week or candidate to candidate and it’s useful to a certain extent)

    Pretty sure I have made both of those points multiple times in the last few days when talking about polling

      Couple days ago, you demanded to know who would be an alternate for Biden, and announced that for any answer, you would post some of the polls you selectively find credible when they confirm your existing biases. Here’s the alternates. Provide your garbage polls that aren’t any good because polls are worthless.

      Harris. Newsom. Franken. Buttigieg. Whitmer.

        The chart is from this which was sent to me by one of your allies in an effort to prove that Biden was cooked.

            Hey cool we’re back around to the very first comment you sent and the reply I made

            You can go back up there on your own, and imagine that I replied with what I said last time, and then you don’t have to reply because you already said what you had to say in response. Victory! It is the end of the conversation.
