trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

Hi! Consider reading our data principles, because I spent quite a bit of time laying out our efforts to *not* be a polling-as-advocacy shop. Using biased polling to support pre-existing beliefs is terrible trend that I'm uninterested in perpetuating www.searchlightinstitute.org/data-princip...

Data Principles

Sorting through the ever-growing list of public opinion polls can be complicated and tricky. Widespread skepticism of data and polls is, frankly, entirely warranted by their frequent misuse.

i think it's telling that these orgs always have polling at the top of their list for advocacy. there are two reasons for this: (A) because they understand the power of polling, and (B) because they want data that reaffirms their beliefs. unfortunatley these are incompatible with each other.

If you care about Medicaid, I need your help. These kids are the best chance we have of saving Medicaid. Families are on the way to DC. We need to cover van rentals and hotel rooms. I will not, I will NOT, waste your money or time. Can you help get this donation link in front of your people?

when i was a child, my family took CHIP and food stamps. this shaped my entire orientation toward government programs (positive) in a way most pundits don't have access to. and also, not to brag, but i think my siblings and i are proof that the ROI on feeding children is very high
