I've been in a jury pool. You can be in one fairly easy, go down to the courts and tell them you want to be seated, they will fast track you.
I had a murder case, too - was fucked because my then boss was refusing to pay for my time away, and the judge was saying it was gonna be 6 weeks at least. Got sent out of county because too many in the jury pool were aware of the case.
I've been polled, too. I also got hit with a bunch of census shit this year - not the main one, but a lot of "extra" census they're doing. Just my turn.
I get jury summons at least once a year. Sucks. Had to serve on an actual jury a couple of years ago. Next time I will tell them I get triggered being in a court room with police nd judges. lets see how that pans out lol.
I thought the same a couple years ago re: never being called for jury duty (which is more than fine w me as I work a very stressful job like most of us here I’m sure).
I have, back in 2018. The lady who was asking me the questions did a terrible job of not sounding biased. She kept snickering whenever I’d give a pro-Trump answer. I can’t remember which company it was, but it was one that I recognized the name of at the time.
Actually I've taken yougov surveys. As soon as they find out you don't watch TV, you're gone. Very telling that all their info comes from those glued to the TV and take it as Gospel.
I haven't since around 2007 or so. Spent my time on the Internet instead, and watching the astroturfed cult of personality form around Obama was very disturbing in 2008. When you disconnect from the scheduled and centrally controlled media brainwashing a lot of inconsistencies become far clearer.
I avoid surveys, and any excess government or media attention when possible. 2016 was the first presidential election that I have bothered to vote in due to finally having a candidate worth voting for. And I am probably far from being alone in any of the prior behavioral traits.
So I am not surprised that 2016 was a surprise to these idiots.
The biggest worry is that the dems and the left media are portraying the polls as they are as the necessary excuse for vote fraud. Once they print the votes they need, they'll say it's all in line with the polls so no fraud had occurred.
I never understood how awful polls are until recently. Pollsters will intentionally commit major "errors" to show Biden in front. Polls will have tiny sample sizes, intentionally not poll HUGE areas of states because they'll likely be Trump supporters. They'll oversample populations that are more left leaning (millennials) even though they won't vote, and undersample Boomers and Gen- X who are guaranteed to vote. They'll intentionally not weight their samples for education. When they do weight for education they'll oversample very left wing groups (post-grad students) and count them as "students" even though most student groups are more moderate relatively speaking. They'll also release polls of "likely voters" and include voters who feel that they are less than 50% likely to vote for Biden, even though "likely voters" is generally considered to be over 50% likely.
They do this ON PURPOSE to depress our side and make us feel hopeless.
Its to Trump's advantage that the polls show him behind. Its is just motivating his base more. They don't understand that though. They don't understand why so many people believe we will go now the tubes quickly if Trump doesn't win. They don't have the context. Its alien to them. They are their own worst enemy, yet don't know it.
Keep putting him up in the polls that's fine with me! Our side is energized to no end to get out and vote IN PERSON and Biden's side is not even energized to wipe there own asses let alone vote in person or by fraud mail. Trump needs a land slide,unequivocally massive win to sink all the fraud and it's going to happen.
And we are supposed to believe Biden is way ahead in the polls.
That's the funny part... who the hell are they polling, the Chinese?
I've never been polled in my life and I don't know a single person who has

I have. And the certain unmentionable power of juries was exercised much to the chagrin of the prosecuting DA.
Im sure they make up the numbers. There are WAY too many 'anonymous sources' out there today.

We all know they do this, but what is the fucking point? Everyone at this point on both sides knows that they’re bullshit
I got called once before the 2018 election and once I said I was white, which was like question #3 they said thanks for your time and hung up lol
They do their polling at BLM riots

I miss the times when folks placed more priority on having a cool bike than an expensive TV.

Nope. They are polling the same people they were in 2016.
The biggest worry is that the dems and the left media are portraying the polls as they are as the necessary excuse for vote fraud. Once they print the votes they need, they'll say it's all in line with the polls so no fraud had occurred.
I'm sure that is the plan
It's the only explanation. It actually hurts turnout so I really don't get it otherwise.
Counterpoint, we were saying the same thing in 2016. Just make sure everyone you know votes.
I'm just hoping the dems aren't learning from Russia and Belarus on how to count votes...

https://www.youtube.com/c/PeoplesPunditDaily ^^ This channel really Redpilled me on just how dishonest most pollsters are.

It didn't work in 2016 and it won't work now
This is how you get those politics threads on Reddit where it’s like “68% of all Americans support cuties”. It’s all fake

Not even the left believes that at this point. I have never seen such a demoralized opponent ever.
They're not ventilated enough to be as demoralized as they should be.
