Imagine being a Portland business owner paying into the PMC on the assumption they’ll advocate for your interests as a Portland business and instead they blow at least $40k on pushpolls in the suburbs instead of actually supporting Portland business.

11/31 The accompanying surveys were designed without "none of the above" or "disagree" options.

This forced respondents to choose a "top benefit" of policies they might completely oppose—classic "push poll" technique.

1/9 🚨 DANIELLE SMITH IS MANUFACTURING CONSENT 🚨

Alberta's "Next Alberta Panel" surveys are push polls with "zero validity" designed to rubber-stamp Danielle Smith's agenda.

Mandatory propaganda videos + rigged questions = fake consensus.

#PushPolls may rely on innuendo, or information gleaned from #OppositionResearch on the political opponent of the interests #BehindThePoll.

OK, like, we just got done making fun of the LessWrong kids for not knowing how Philosophy works, and Aella for her pushpolls & shitty race science, so can we please take st@nc1l's theory of mind in the same light.

Broseph hasn't even brought up the Agency* question.
It's an influencer popping off

Generally, #PushPolls are viewed as a form of #NegativeVampaigning. Indeed, the term is commonly (and confusingly) used in a broader sense to refer to legitimate polls that aim to test negative political messages.

Nice. (Not that I give much by "informed" pushpolls.) Will be due to his position in the radical lane, too, not pre-campaign name rec.

In Canada, the biggest polling firms are run by Conservatives who promote themselves as "influential" and have partnerships with main-stream media as well as their right-wing misinformation distributors. It's all #propaganda and #PushPolls to discourage progressive voters.
