#2 Typically after people catch on to their games the liberals change their terminology. This happens every decade or so. liberals become progressives become lefties become third wave socialists, etc.

I'm wondering if they are checking out possible replacements for the term Democrat after the 2022 midterm beating or if they'll wait until 2024. Maybe replace the donkey symbol with a dead horse.

#3 Just remember that for polling companies to sell their services, they have to keep the rubes on the fishing line. You come to them with - hey, look, the numbers say you're about to be blown out of the water, and the rubes and their money will probably go elsewhere to be lied to.

#4 The whole idea of polling is now backwards.

The idea used to be, candidates assert their policy for governance, their genuine philosophy and consistent principles, and polling will see how people react to it. If they like it, you will be chosen to serve in office.

What has now become the rule, is they poll to determine what people find most beneficial individually, and craft a messaging theme to sell them on the idea of giving you power to get it. Not a genuine consistent policy, just promises and vague phrases like "fighting for you". Blacks in America have been biting at that hook for well over 80 years.

We have devolved from common purpose as fellow citizens, to tribal and cultural grouping, always divided by haves and have nots, with the "other" as de-facto enemy to be controlled and dis-empowered, in a zero-sum mindset. From land of opportunity and individual responsibility to mandated "equity" (from equality of opportunity to equal outcome).

Remember, in polling, information about you is the product they sell to people seeking power over your life, career, finances and safety. Imagine if you answer polling question that you are helping build an economic, cultural and political target folder on yourself...

#5 People who vote for what they want to hear should be disqualified from voting. Politicians who tell people what they want to hear and then behave differently should be ejected from office.
