Wow. I just got the most psychometrically skewed Rasmussen poll call I think I've ever had.
They were bad before, but yikes. You could feel the cold hand of the GOP behind some of the "questions" and "choices". Trolley problems.
Yes, I get regularly polled by the majors. No, no clue why.
Here's one example "Since 1982, (some big number) of working farmland has been developed into housing for a growing population."
1982? Well, yeah. That's 40 years ago. We can grow denser crops on less land, techniques have improved...
Next question asks how important it is to be able to feed our population.
What the ever loving fuckery is this? I've had blatant push polls that were more subtle.
@Cosmichomicide I never get called for polls about anything.
I never get called for jury duty and I'd love to sit on a jury. Closest I got was being reserve pool once for the week before Christmas, so they never even has us in.
Polls tho. I'm an opinion magnet. 🤷🏻♀️
My BFF got called when she was working in DC. She marched in and announced that she was an attorney, expecting to be sent home. The jury wrangler laughed and said, "This is DC. If we disqualified lawyers, we'd be seating the criminals."
Yes, lawyer jokes ensued and she was on a two week criminal trial and had a blast. Dammit.
She still talks about it. They acquitted after a lively debate and she said it was really an eye opening experience.
@Cosmichomicide I got called for jury once but was "disqualified".
