This seems nuts but it is about the same representative sample as your average public meeting

I will never watch a debate and am avoiding all punditry probably forever but we did this basic song and dance in 2012

Every city should make one street car free for all the warm months they have and you will never go back. Not one day, or every Sunday, every day. Just pick a good one, get businesses and residents on board and tell the complainers to fuck off. No excuses

It seems like this poll is evidence that the word is getting out regardless of how mean Democrats sound so maybe messaging is extremely overrated

They are trying to draw a contrast between normal politicians and the ones who use theatrical and shocking antics, you can disagree but they think that the media and the voters they need won't respond well to that.

The political media needs ostensibly neutral heroes that they can praise without acting like they are taking a side.

The screenshot is an email to supporters, we don't have to pretend everyone is going to get the same message until November. Unless OP just wanted to complain

If you live close to stuff in a smallish home you honestly don't have to really think about how much carbon you're using. Unless you're flying every weekend or something you're using much less than the people who live 25 miles outside of the city and drive ten miles to get a coffee.

It can be pretty intimidating and sometimes threatening, to be fair. The better thing is elect pro housing mayors and councilors who will do a comprehensive rezone etc but obviously not easy

If you don't want to move that's fair, moving sucks. But you should advocate to let more people move near transit. The details of the buildings barely matter when the alternative is a hundred household living thirty plus miles away

It is unsurprising but a missing thing that all these posts are like "get a heat pump or EV if you really want to make change" and not "move to an apartment or townhome near the subway and tell your electeds to allow more"

For numbers one and two these are largely determined by where you live, so showing up to a public meeting in support of an apartment building is one of the best things one can do

Or show up to a public meeting and say you want them to build that apartment building near public transit so that twenty homes don't get built in sprawl instead.

It is amusing that they got the NYT, which Biden is in a public beef with, to try to amplify this whining

It would feel good but the media and law profession has spent 50 years pretending that SCOTUS is the paragon of virtue and immune from politics so that's a hard thing to knock down especially when you're trying to convince GWB / Romney voters to vote for you.

I think it's better to just run on dobbs and not attack the court specifically (which independents still think is neutral), especially since you don't have the votes to actually do anything about the court but ymmv, maybe the flag stuff changes it.

You'd also probably mostly be polling specific groups of people in like 10 states and you'd make sure they weren't lying to you as best you can. As opposed to using whatever $13/hr temp agency Emerson College hires to call people

In my job we have to make do with smaller samples than we'd like because we are a public agency. But Joe Biden has $200m on hand, if I were him and someone gave me a poll with insane crosstabs like the public ones I'd throw it in their face and tell them to spend whatever to fix it

Two things journos/fart-sniffing interviewers miss on polls, because it would expose that this is all content for dying media: -there are public polls with sparse budgets and private polls with wide-ranging budgets but we can't see the latter -you can't be "leading" based on public polls in may
