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.

All that white space is there. They have no excuses to omit you from the data. This erasure of facts is not democracy, it鈥檚 fascism.

Replying to @marwilliamson @FiveThirtyEight
Wow. Imagine if Trump had been ignored/downplayed in the media to prevent his campaign. They acted like they had no choice but to have him on the news 24/7. Talk about "unserious/unqualified". @marwilliamson is the best candidate and the blackout proves how powerful she is
