    So how was this professional Pollster so far off? Claimed Harris win by 3 points and instead Trump won by 13 points. That’s a 16 point swing right there. Days before an election. Honestly, I’d think that was a bit sus from an objective professional pollster too. Now would I then spend time suing her? Prolly not- not unless I thought it was done intentionally, in which case she cast the first stone.

      Ah yes. The best kind of election interference posting the results of your poll. Maybe Harris should sue too since it was so far off and gave her false hope. Hell better idea lets toss the pollster into jail for fucking up so bad. In fact any poll that was wrong straight to jail. Off by more than your margin of error? Straight to jail. Post a poll the God Emperor hates? Believe it or not straight to jail

        I’m simply talking about fairness. If you had a specific example in regards to Harris I could take that statement serious. No one is claiming throwing anyone in jail. I think that by not taking this seriously and instead creating extreme hypothetical cases your not only not going to be taken seriously- but actually do the cause a disservice. By not honestly engaging and instead being absurd -you’re proving you have no argument and instead would just like to throw ad hominem around to avoid actual constructive conversation. Which is how we deal and figure out how we got here in the first place IMO. Best of luck
