I love this thread.
I would love to meet the people posting to this thread arguing that they absolutely certain that this singular poll was correct and that Harris would win Iowa. Do they just cognitively memory hole all of this and compartmentalize?
Yes. Social justice warriors just ignore past misjudgments and invent new causes that are foolish.
It must take a special kind of person to just argue like crazy for something and then pretend it didn’t happen after.
The next funny episode (already getting underway) will be when libs start yammering about blue waves in 2026 and 2028…. after spending the last two years telling us democracy will END and there will never be anymore elections if Trump wins.
Well he isn't in office yet so let's wait and see. I doubt you would ever say you were wrong if he did end elections
Not a single poster on this board has ever offered an even vaguely coherent explanation of exactly how Trump would “end elections.”
It’s as if most of the people on this board have no idea how our government or political system actually work.

DP, but she had a pretty good track record and it would've suggested that there was systematic bias out there, not being picked up elsewhere. She was obviously very wrong. Predictions markets weren't. Some of us can admit when there are errors and be more skeptical of polls like this (and polling in general going forward) and look to prediction markets as a better barometer of potential outcomes. Happy now?

For my part, I liked the early pages of the "Election Results" thread where people were giddily talking about how Harris had carried some random Indiana county by 2-3 points more than Biden carried it in 2020. They were just so sure Harris was on her way to a landslide win.
And lets not forget the delightful "Trump campaign death spiral" thread. Hours of entertainment for the whole family!

The Democrats are dead to those people. I have family members that were Democrats for years, but are now loyal Trump supporters. No chance those people are backing Kamala Harris.
Did you see the post above yours? Ann Seltzer polls are usually very accurate.
Not a chance. This is not a normal election. I 100% believe this poll is accurate
Ok. Everyone is wrong sometimes, and here, direct experience strongly indicates this poll is very wrong. It is also an outlier among polls. For all I know, Ann Seltzer got a huge payday to sacrifice some credibility to put out good numbers for Harris. In any event, I do not believe it is accurate. This is based on the experience of having grown up there and having watched people abandon the Democrats first hand.
You’re free to think what you want. I believe you are engaged in wishful thinking.
The Trumpers who somehow think he’ll win the popular vote are the ones with wishful thinking.

Not a fan of AOC's politics, but she did the hard job of knocking on doors in her district to gain name recognition. She was also smart enough to not fall for Amazon's siren song of creating tech jobs in her district. Amazon completely hoodwinked Arlington by promising jobs that would fill the vacant office buildings in Crystal City. Now plans are stalled and Arlington is another Bezos sucker --- like Kamala Harris.
She also screwed her district out of a lot of business and jobs. Do you care about campaigning or economic results?

It’s easy to grasp at straws in the face of desperation. (And I say this as someone who was hopeful about the poll.)
Please don’t be desperate. Just do what the rest of us are doing - live your life. Don’t get wrapped up in this stuff. There’s more to life than politics. Win, lose, whatever. Life goes on.
-a (reluctant) Trump voter
It’s not whatever. Many of us stand to be impacted personally by the election results (federal employees just as an example). Women already lost healthcare access because of the last Trump term SCOTUS picks. But go ahead and laugh at us. I hope you’re still laughing in 4 years.

Correct. The right and left both have agendas. If you get your way, you'd take away all firearms. Your side weaponized the legal system against political opponents, like Soviet Russia.
We heard the true democrat agenda from Marc Andreessen on Joe Rogan. Glad you are not in power.
