Why do people keep linking data for progress after last election?
Their founder openly said the point of his company was to come up with polls that make donors happy.
Then he got caught trying to use his polls to influence elections so his bets would win, and was trying to get employees involved in an illegal straw do or scheme.

Seriously, because no one will answer after posting that poll:
Why would anyone use them for a source still?
Is it just one of the few things that make Biden seem like a good choice?
Here's me not answering:
Because I had never read that Wikipedia link.
Nope. Biden is a bad choice, but he is likely to be the only choice regardless and if he is, he should be voted for because the other option is a dictatorship and a genocide of queer people.
Edit: Haha. They banned me on A Boring Dystopia for incivility after calling me a bully and deleting all my questions they refused to answer. Amazing.
See?
We opened a dialog and you realized the source your using is wildly unreliable and we shouldn't care what they say.
We got there thru civility and logic.
Everyone wins.
He doesn't have to be. Biden is the only choice the people he appointed to lead the DNC will let us have.
The party is a private organization and can do anything they want including disregarding an entire primary. The DNC literally argued this in court less than a decade ago, and the judge agreed.
You can say that the DNC won't replace Biden because they'd rather risk trump than lose control of the party.
But you can't just lie and say there's nothing that can be done.
I was really amused how you banned me from A Boring Dystopia for "incivility" after I asked you yes or no questions and you called me a bully. It's too bad it's a permanent ban or I'd ask you to undo it and do it again tomorrow. I could use all the laughs I can get right now.
You very silly person.
