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.
As the wise man said, I am not a criminal because I don't want to be judged by anybody not smart enough to get out of jury duty hahaha...
That being said, should you ever get called for jury duty, and do not want to serve, just ask a question during the selection process. Any question at all. "Will there be bathroom breaks?" Gold. This will be enough to bring you to the attention of the prosecutors and they will almost certainly not select you. I have seen it several times.
never avoid a jury. If you are called, do all you can to serve. The actual voice of the the people. I have served twice. I will serve if asked every time
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.
They don;t want numbers that represent reality. They want numbers that create the reality they approve of, and they want to use that disinformation to spread their agenda.
I find it very telling that this should be their dividing line: "did you watch at least 5 minutes of TV yesterday?" If not, you are unpersoned.
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.
I voted once before 2016; 1996. I wanted to vote for Steve Forbes for the same reasons I wanted to vote for DJT. Forbes has cucked out, Trump has had character development since being elected the likes of which I have never seen, even in literature!
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

If you sound and look too much like a soiboi, the defense may take great pains to keep you on the panel.

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.
