   Right now is the time you ignore #polls and pollsters.

   ALL of their data is based on "what if Kamala #Harris ran?"

   All of it.

   Even in stable times, polls typically measure attitudes. That isn't an accepted methodology in the social sciences more generally.

   You MUST ask about actions for valid data.

   Example of an action: $84 million in small-donor contributions in 24 hours.

   Listen to that. Polls are going to be shit data for weeks... maybe a month.

   Even they know it.
