And I still see people dooming about Rasmussen polls despite the fact that they've been booted from most polling agragates a while ago because of their terrible methodology and terrible transparency
I fully support whatever media outlet wants to boost flawed polls to drive clicks or engagement or whatever bullshit KPIs they use for money. I want Democrats (justifiably) terrified that Trump will win. I want people voting like their lives, their freedoms depend on it, because they do. I want to win the Senate and the House and every Governor's race because people everywhere showed up to say we're not going back. I want every attempt at electoral malfeasance to be so obvious that everyone involved is immediately convicted.
And if a bullshit propaganda poll gets the job done, then we can laugh about how biased and wrong Rasmussen was after the election.
I'm not so sure it necessarily does that. I think sometimes people dooming about polls makes them think "what's the point" and demotivates action
Certainly complacency is bad too though of course
I think complacency had a lot to do with 2016. So I'm not letting my guard down.
I'll verify anecdotally it did for me. I've regretted it every day since.
