Niche communities on a niche website like Lemmy are not representative of the wider democratic sample set to be fair. I was definitely one of those people sounding the alarm on here. For a considerable time many people felt Biden was our locked-in nominee and we had to support him no matter what because there was no alternative choice. And true, Vote Blue No Matter Who still applies whether polls go well or not.
But luckily, the wider Democratic party put enough pressure to have Biden stand down.
The polls are inaccurate at times, that they don’t necessarily show the exact amount of support a candidate has. A change in trends across multiple polls over time, however, can show changing attitudes, even if the specific percentage of support estimated is not necessarily accurate in each poll.
Actually I didn’t see that here at all.
When the polls were bad I mainly saw the blue no matter who crowd go on and on about how inaccurate the polls are

They are a toxic bane and should be named, shamed, and ignored.
