    Those are people who don’t wanna answer. Tbh if some rando was asking which political view I had, I would also not share it.

      If I was approached in the NYC street by someone asking me how I felt about politics, I would not take the risk that they have my name and face already and want to put me in a oligarch’s database.

      Especially when you get asked in a way that makes it clear that they have an agenda.

      Like to ask say, “Do you support what the Mayor is doing with raising taxes on rich residents” they might ask “Would you be ok with having your taxes raised?”

      Then report it in a reframed way later.

      Polls are bull shit no matter what they say.

      Hell in the first term I got a Trump poll and “How do you think the president is doing” disn’t even have negatice options, just degrees of Good, Great, Excelent etc.
