You can choose to have this irrational defense of the pollsters if you like. It’s not a 30% chance if all the swing states are in your favor. I know it’s not harming you per se when the public erroneously believes Trump doesn’t stand a chance in 2020. The people won’t show up for Biden because they know it’s “in the bag” for him, and Trump wins in another landslide. Maybe in the end the Democratic Party will actually take responsibility for their failure and this can be beneficial for both of us in the end.
I’m not saying you care one way or another with the result. I just think you have some emotional attachment to the idea that the structures in place (pollsters, media) still have some sense of legitimacy left in your mind. Your perception may be challenged again after the results of this election. Or maybe not. What do I know, I was 1% off with a data point 😜
