I wasn’t kidding, it is actually the blog of that market research/polling firm.
It’s dressed up a bit to make it seem like it’s delivering news, but it’s primarily just writing up their own market research and polling data in the form of articles, or more accurately, blog posts.
This poll is a notable outlier… The article is basically just a blog post from the polling outfit itself…
Here’s results on 65 different polls for Michigan:

The vast majority of polls have Trump leading Michigan, but a lot of those are also within the margin of error and otherwise very close.
What is with Lemmy’s insistence on pretending that the debate either didn’t hurt Biden, or actually helped him?
It’s like a lot of people here actually believe that by pretending nothing is wrong, that means nothing is wrong.
FYI that New York Times link is simply an easy aggregated URL that shows the results for, and then directly links to 65 different polls for Michigan.

It’s just complete ignorance of the Iranian political system and at some level, a buy-in on the media’s relentless anti-Iranian propaganda.
Far be it from me to defend a theocracy, or Mullahs, but…wait, I won’t they’re horrible.
However, Iran’s theocracy is far less insidious than the Gulf Monarchies, so I guess it’s better by default?
Oh, and no candidate is allowed to run unless they are signed off on by the Ayatollah, so there’s that caveat as well.
You aren’t thinking this through and all the wonderful possibilities.
Just imagine if we let private prisons “loan” out low risk prisoners to local businesses.
BAM! Now you get to spread the cost savings of prison labor to the wider economy.
And that’s just me spitballing. I got so many good ideas on what we can do with our newly enslaved poors, err… I mean criminally homeless deviants.
Interesting that they allowed these two issues within the same piece of propaganda, considering these are the same class of people who enabled the elite to entirely remove any politics relating to the improvement of material economic conditions for working class people from public debate, or elections, and replace it entirely with the politics of culture war.
This is public record due to their financial reporting obligations as public company, but their password sharing crackdown resulted in not insignificant amounts of new subscribers.
Or at least, there was meaningful growth that occurred in time periods that aligned with those policies going into effect.

I can’t believe you would blame the CIA for problems in Kenya.
I’m pretty sure notable CIA alumni even tried to promote Kenyan tourism.
It’s kinda like atheists who pray during bad turbulence, might as well give it a shot.
The reason he fell from favor was a coordinated and relentless media attack and smear campaign because he was beholden to Old Labour values, and not New Labour’s brand of limp dick neoliberalism.
That may sound overly simplistic and vulgar, but it’s accurate, and if anything, less vulgar than the smear campaign that was used to gun down his political career as party leader.
Uh I’m pretty sure they offer trauma counseling to all those contractors.
I mean, sure, it’s from a sub-contracted provider, TraumaBots (powered by ChatGPT 3.5), but I’ve heard only 36% of TraumaBot’s patients end up killing themselves.
So… I’d call that a win/win.
A lot of human traffickers are Mexican, especially in the South West. Should probably ban Mexicans as well, just to be safe I guess.
Oh, and most mass shooters are white men, should probably ban them.
Gangbangers are another problem you mentioned, let’s just go ahead and ban every male 18-28.
Prostitutes also a problem? Let’s ban all females 18-32.
You’re working backwards from a terrible policy, banning people for having shitty political views, and then justifying it by saying, “Well, they probably committed sex crimes because they’re creepy”.
Ban them for bad actions, not bad thoughts.
I wasn’t aware that sex trafficking and gangbanging were just considered acts of political extremism.
Because that’s what I’m concerned about - banning people for the thought crimes of having shitty politics, which is something this team clearly engaged in.
I can’t speak to any other role they played in preventing actual criminal activity, like you described, but those would be perfect examples of the types of people that should be banned.
But if your argument is that actual crime and “pre-crime” or “thought crimes” are the same, well, that’s pretty Orwellian and something I strongly disagree with.
This sounds Orwellian.
I understand the justification for these teams on social media because of their role, and their desire to be advertising friendly.
But a public company like AirBnB should not be legally allowed to ban people solely based on their political views, even if they suck.
Ban them for their actions, but not for Minority Report Pre-Crime.

These are squad level ground launched air to ground munitions i.e. they’re small enough to be carried by infantry units and have the explosive charge more akin to antitank munitions.
It has been black and white, since inception. Just on behalf of the federal government and those “complexities” you listed.
This is what nuance and the shading of gray looks like: science showing the other side of these projects, and the extreme costs which have primarily been borne by the indigenous tribes in the region.
Damnit. I hate when my local city government’s finances are too fucked to pay the energy bill, but still have money for military weapons procurement.
Wait a minute…local city governments are able to purchase air launched cruise missiles and anti-tank weapons!!! And they can export them to!!!
Dude I think you might be onto something, that is pretty wild…makes you wonder what the dog catcher is really up to… probably moonlights with gig economy wetwork.
You’re delusional.
You went out of your way to find one of the very few polls showing positive news for Biden in Michigan and then posted links to their company website where they write blog entries based on the results of their market research.
Additionally, you’re badmouthing anyone who points out that Morning Consult’s latest Michigan polls are outliers.
Maybe they actually have the best current methodology, but unless you want to write up a white paper on why that is, stop speaking ill of anyone who points out that their poll is an outlier, or that your link isn’t to a news article, but to a market research company’s blog.
Especially when those commenters come with sources, such as the link to aggregated page of 65 polls that I posted. Which by the way, includes Morning Consult’s figures as well.
