At a Thursday fundraising event in Chicago, President Biden trolled Republicans after Democrats secured several victories on election night.

“Democrats had an incredible night once again,” Biden said at the event, touting Democrats out-performing Republicans, citing wins in Kentucky, Ohio, Virginia and Pennsylvania.

“What happened on Tuesday is not unusual,” Biden said.

He added that Trump should take note of the victories, saying, “We haven’t stopped winning, and he hasn’t stopped losing.”

    I have gotten calls from pollsters on my smartphone which surprisingly do not automatically identify as spam. As soon as they tell me who they are it’s a “not interested” hang up from me. I don’t care which party they claim they’re with; I’m not giving any of my information, including political opinions, to someone I don’t know. For all I know, I’m being targeted for some kind of identity theft or scam. I treat it the same way as someone calling “from my bank”: assume they are up to no good. For something important that could have real consequences, I’ll follow up with the bank myself.

    So yeah, like you said, younger people just generally not giving a shit about helping pollsters.

      I don’t see an issue with taking a quick political poll. I’ve only ever gotten 2 or 3 calls, but I can see it getting obnoxious fast.

        It is more an issue of not being able to verify who they really say they are.

          Do we care? They can take the info, twist it to their own ends or leave it.

          Maybe I’m being dense, but I can’t see harm coming of answering a poll. Something I’m missing?

            Not worth the risk imo. There is no benefit for me.
