"Public data” is a euphemism for “polls.” Which, as I say, have been wrong above every federal election since 2016. I saw a poll this other day that purportedly reported on statewide support for the major party candidates. The number of people polled was less than 700. To make up for the number of people declining to be polled, results are now “weighted.” Or done hand-waving flummery while the priests read the chicken entrails.Public data indicate that three quarters or so of Americans think Biden is too old to run and serve a second term as president.

Does the Biden team have data that contradicts this in any meaningful way? (Public numbers, btw, that have been consistent well before that debate.) https://t.co/fbzwtTMy4B
And how many people think Trump is fit to have anything sharper than a rubber ball?
The number of children dressed as adults but scared of a future they can’t be reassured about, and parading that fear in public, continues to astonish. Rather than do something to oppose Trump, they cry that he’s too powerful and can’t be stopped. They let him bully them, in other words, and parade their cowardice as bravery. The bravely defy what doesn’t threaten them, terrified by what they think does.
In the words of the eminent Molesworth, they are utterly wet, and weeds. I discard them.
