      Samoa is pretty unimportant but polling is showing how fucked Biden (and all of us) are.

          There are also reasons to take polls seriously. Biden isn’t a slam dunk and trying to shame or silence legitimate concerns hurts his chances of winning.

          The media’s reaction to Jon Stewart calling Biden old seriously hurt their credibility.

            In what way is pointing to some factually suspicious elements to these polls that are being cited, trying to “shame or silence legitimate concerns”?

            I literally posted an article yesterday that said, among some other things, “It lets weak Secretary of State Antony Blinken and duplicitous President Joe Biden be less servile when Netanyahu dismisses the low death toll.” I’m hunky dory with legitimate concerns. Illegitimate concerns I feel the need to address in the sense of pointing out hey this seems illegitimate.

            Surely that’s not confusing or inappropriate?
