How did you get into that pipeline? I've never gotten one of those emails

My thinking exactly as well.

It's spin if they are not adjusting how and who they poll as technology advances and as new generations enter the voting pool.

If they're only polling people who pick up an unknown phone call, they're going to get mainly boomers and geriatrics. Younger generations in general screen their phone calls and don't answer unknown numbers, and, let's face it, phone calls are a terrible engagement mechanism anymore.

I'm a xennial and I have Google's call screening feature - I never answer unknown numbers, and look closely at the caller's intentions even before accepting any calls. I would love to participate in this unicorn that is a presidential poll, but I'm not doing it through an unsolicited phone call.

Edit - then you have this use of polling also

As a cybersecurity professional, I appreciate that he says for security purposes to call him directly with the details.

If he was really trolling though he should include a hyperlink to click.

It's funny because it's bigger than a normal hat

I put funny tags on accounts like this so that I can easily identify them. I can't repeat this account's tag as I wouldn't want the operator to feel like I'm attacking their character, but your experience has been mine as well.

100% agree. Polls also don't really account for voter suppression tactics, or gerrymandering and other GOP fuckery, so absolutely vote because our democracy is literally at stake here.

Our future generations will be impacted by the outcome of this specific election.

I love this game

I'm sure the GOP will be happy to vote for this one in the house. They were perfectly fine with issuing much more for covid PPP loans and forgiving the loans completely. It's so sad we have such a divided nation. We need to get rid of our first-past-the-post voting system, or it will be like this indefinitely.
