It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    You do realize that the only reason i posted polling data in the first place was because someone on your side of the argument stated that the polls show that there is too much favorability for Trump among Republicans for the all-voter unfavorability to be anything but due to third partiers, right? So, no, the general wishy-washiness of polling data does not, in any way undermine my position. Someone on your team used polls to prove something and i am simply reaponding to that claim with “hey, actually, the polls don’t show that.”

    You can go back in the threads and check this if you doubt me.

    I’m not quoting any one poll as gospel, either. Don’t be silly. I used the first polls i found from a reliable source and posted them. If anyone from “your side” was inclined to enter into this debate with their own data i would have happily dug deeper for some other options sooner, but no one has taken up that task on “your side” of things.

      Says the person who did arithmetic with poll data from different polls that made no logical sense whatever.

      Out of interest, whose side do you think I’m on?

        One more time for the people in the back: this is the type of data that was referenced by someone claiming that third partiers are all Harris supporters. Did you want me to disprove them by using some other unrelated data? I looked up the types of polls that THEY rferenced and ahowed that those polls do not show what they claimed.

        You seem to have decided that third partiers favor Harris. So i am referring to you as being on “that side” of the argument. Is this not what you believe?

          I don’t recall anyone saying they were Harris supporters. Why would they vote third party if they supported Harris?! No, the people you’re arguing with just said that they dislike Trump. I honestly don’t know why you find that hard to believe.
