Genuinely this has always made my question the validity of phone polls. You’re automatically selecting for a specific group, people who will pick up random phone calls, and I’m not convinced that group is representative of the larger population.
I knew it was bad but I had no idea it was this bad. If ~99 out of 100 people are refusing to talk to pollsters on the phone - this form of polling seems very questionable at best. Yet phone-based polling is common, the entire American pundit industry uses polling as an all-purpose tool to explain politics, and polling is a malignant force on everything.
I answered one one time and they thought I was my father. So I did everything I could to basically say I was a communist but they don't allow that in the Spectrum it's only "extremely liberal" or "extremely conservative" when it comes to their questions about your views on topics
"I'm a Moderate"... "Mao had some good points, and Trotsky was OK but his current followers are annoying. Stalin was good but shouldn't have stopped at Berlin. I respect Anarchists as comrades. So yeah, I think we should all get along and kill landlords together ❤"
