In reply to the discussion: A (sad) tale of two polls. Actually, of one poll. [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)That's what I'm suggesting happen here--sure beats getting mad about nonsense. Because that IS the hoped-for reaction.
It's not a question of "defending" anyone--it's noting that this poll, no matter WHAT it says, at this point in time, simply Does. Not. Matter. And if people want to make shit up about what it says, let them Dream On. They'll come down to earth like Mitt Romney did on election day.
Polls this far out are more about who is known/not known. We already know that most Democrats and many independents like and trust HRC. That's unlikely to shift much, even if any one of the two "favored liberals" popular on this site enter the race (and I doubt the one from MA will, so we're left with the Vermonter, who has already said he won't run if he can't win...so...whatever). Even if a cadre of people here on this tiny little website gripe and complain and whine, they don't represent the mainstream of the party. It doesn't MATTER if they try to "muddy the waters." Or "lie." Or whatever you want to call it. That's on them. What's on those of us who find their comments absurd, or wrong, or erroneous, is how we react to them.
