One thing this election has taught me

[Proud liberal 80]

After this election, 2018 and 2016....I don’t believe the polls and won’t follow them anymore

[ZZenith]

1. But you trust the unverifiable electronic voting machines?

Illogical conclusion you’re making there.

[diva77]

4. THIS x 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did I make my point??

[ZZenith]

6. I'm interpreting that as, "we are in agreement"

[diva77]

15. yes, yes

I believe so.

[Jspur]

7. If they are rigging the vote then what

can we do. Not saying you are right or wrong but we simply don't have any proof that they are rigging the votes. Without proof it's just hearsay and we are rendered powerless.

[ZZenith]

13. Not powerless, no.

Just need to apply our power in a different direction.

[Jspur]

14. What do you suggest we do again if we have no proof

of them rigging the vote?

[ZZenith]

17. We'll just have to use our imaginations, won't we?

Good evening to you.

[Jspur]

18. Unfortunately that's not a good enough answer

for me.

[ZZenith]

19. Once I see a gold star next to your name I will let you in on the secret plans.

[Jspur]

20. Pretty petty to point out your status as a comeback

against me. Listen I'm frustrated with the way these results have come in for Biden and that it did't match up with the polls. With that being said we can scream it's being rigged or the votes were hacked but unfortunately we just don't know. All we can do is speculate. Speculating is not going to be good enough to help Biden win.

2. I've learned that there are millions of Americans that are dumber than a box of rocks.

This country needs an enema.......

3. The only thing that counts are votes. It sickens me when I see people posting

and reacting to polls.

[Turin_C3PO]

5. Me too, probably.

For whatever reason, it seems the polls aren’t able to predict election outcomes.

8. Will you still say that if we pull this out?

Polls are rarely 100% accurate. Sure, if Trump wins and Biden has a popular vote victory of only 2%-3%, one could say the polls missed it badly. But most of the states that fell Trump's way so far appeared to be tossups that a standard MoE would cover (and he was even considered to be leading in some of them). Generally speaking, I've heard it said that the actual result will usually be, at most, around 3% off the polls in one direction or another. People were predicting that Biden would win the popular vote by between 7% and 8%, so a 4%-5% final margin wouldn't indicate "the polls failed."

9. People are LYING to Pollsters...

And the Pollsters Stats Suck. That is the reality and we should have learned this lesson in 2016.

[Bev54]

10. It has shown me that there is a big problem with

the amount of people in the country that are following a racist, jackass with an IQ of about 79. WTF is wrong with people. The world was waiting for the people of US to show that Trump was just a big mistake that would be corrected decisively. It also tells me they like a senate that is completely useless and does not work for the people. Very disturbing.

[Dem2theMax]

11. I can remember that just before the 2016 election,

538 gave Trump an 11% chance of winning.

I don't believe anything but the counting of the votes.

[regnaD kciN]

16. No, they gave him a 29% chance in 2016...

They gave him 10% this year which, as they pointed out, is still within the range of plausibility. (As they point out, it's a little less than the odds of rolling a one on the throw of a die. It happens.)

[Dem2theMax]

21. I clearly remember it. Because I remember telling friends as I was looking at it. nt.

[Orange Buffoon]

12. More Repug's are rude and have a disdain for the anonymous caller

and probably tell them to eff off. That's why the results are skewed. Either that or they tell the poll caller they are voting for Biden just to screw with them.
