The USA votes it’s president in with the Electoral College. Every poll talking about “voters … tie … blah …blah …blah” doesn’t mean shit, cause the voters don’t get to pick the president. Their representatives do. And guess what, their representatives don’t have to represent them. They can vote however they want. They can even get elected and then switch parties to the bad guys team. Also, fuck the GOP.
clickbait
- Their representatives do.
  Electors, not representatives.
  And guess what, their representatives don’t have to represent them. They can vote however they want.
  That depends on the state. While there are no federal provisions on how an elector should vote, several states do have rules requiring them to follow the popular vote. Additionally, the popular vote is used to select which electors (a.k.a. which parties electors) are sent.
- Also most of these surveys admit bias towards the right because it's generally them that are stupid enough to do phone surveys.
  
  what does doing phone surveys have to do with being stupid? what a dumb take
  
  I think they are trying to relate being on the right to being stupid and that the right also tend to do phone surveys. Not relating being stupid to taking phone surveys specifically.
  Not that i have any opinion one way or the other.
  Just felt like you took the meaning of their comment in a way that was not intended.
  
  they said "people that are stupid enough to do phone surveys" - this is pretty explicit in my view.
  
  What they actually said was
  Also most of these surveys admit bias towards the right because it's generally them that are stupid enough to do phone surveys.
  So, breaking that down, surveys are mostly done by people on the right. And its "generally them that are stupid enough" (so people on the right are stupid) "to do phone surveys"
  So whilst op does seem to think you have to be stupid to do phone surveys, what they are trying to say is that people on the right are the only ones stupid enough to do them. Because people on the right are stupid.
