Polls aren't meant to tell you when to throw in the towel. Act_of_Reparation Sep 2022 #33

Polls represent a single snapshot in time. hamsterjill Sep 2022 #38

Nobody said you should...but better to engage with a realistic understanding of the situation. brooklynite Sep 2022 #34

I don't pay attention to polls. hamsterjill Sep 2022 #37

Why? brooklynite Sep 2022 #39

So you are essentially saying that no one should support Beto. hamsterjill Sep 2022 #42

Financially? No they shouldn't brooklynite Sep 2022 #44

It is indeed your choice. I'm suggesting the choice be made rationally, not emotionally. brooklynite Sep 2022 #47

If you only bet on sure things, you get fewer choices and, eventually, a GOP majority. Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2022 #55

You completely misunderstand. I NEVER bet on sure things. brooklynite Sep 2022 #56

Thank you for the clarification. I did misunderstand your position. Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2022 #57
