FiveThirtyEight reports the national polling data today, but leaves me out entirely. Written underneath their graph is that they're only reporting on "major candidates."馃У

My monthly average is 6.3%, and Quinnipiac today has me at 8%. Meanwhile, on the Republican side FiveThirtyEight reports on Vivek Ramaswamy at 7%, Niki Haley at 5.9%, Mike Pence at 5.1%, Chris Christie at 3.2% and several others even lower.

FiveThirtyEight likes to brand itself as highly objective and committed to the data, but this contradicts that. This is how political elites control the narrative. Just as in the old Soviet Union, people are told "You have choice - but we'll tell you what your choices are."

Mainstream media and analysts do the bidding of the elite, and have no listening for a candidate who wants government to do the bidding of the people. @Fivethirtyeight do better.

8% < 3% From the guy who brought you "wearing shorts = giving a hand job in a public theater"

Yeah difference is your running against an incumbent who's currently polling at around 70% and they're running against a guy who's gonna be in jail. They have a shot, you don't.

Primary polling is irrelevant in Democratic Party primaries. They have already picked the nominee. Anyone who was paying attention learned this in 2016 and 2020. Where were you?
