    I no longer trust any polls. Feel free to try to convince me otherwise, but in my experience (anecdotal, I know) they have been wrong in many cases. Further, I think they can do more harm than good. For example, if a poll suggests a given candidate will likely win easily, it could – and I would argue – does discourage voters from going out of their way to cast their ballot. Sidebar: Voting in the US doesn’t have to be so fucking hard. Election days – especially in November – should be a holiday.

    THANK YOU! Finally someone with some sense. I feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills.

    This should not be “stunning” anyone. Cuomo is a creepy old man, Zohran is an equal but opposite reaction to Trump – and the one that NYC needs.

    So many major news outlets are busy kissing Trump and establishment Dems’ asses because they have become dependent on the same wealthy donors that prop them up. I’m really worried for the future when I see this headline over and over “SHOCK” … What’s shocking is how all of these media companies have their head so far up their ass. I really hope this encourages them to get their shit together and report what you see, not what they think rich people want to hear.
