The pure incompetence shown by DMR polling outfit is astounding. They only get the spotlight every 4 years and managed to mess up their only thing of value :mjlol:

The explanation of what happened is just :mjpls:
The media outlets decided to nix a planned live televised release of the survey after a supporter of former Mayor Pete Buttigieg received a call from the pollsters - and Buttigieg's name was not one of the options offered.

A source with knowledge of the decision said a computer monitor in the call center used to conduct the poll was set to show font at a larger-than-normal text. That setting cut off the name of the last candidate listed in the randomized order testing potential Democratic candidates. In the case of at least one voter, the Buttigieg supporter, the randomized order placed Buttigieg last - and so Buttigieg's name was not mentioned.

Keeping my overhead low, and my understand high
The Unfiltered Thoughts of Voters Who’ve Switched

Vicki, Denver, Colorado, Warren to Cory Booker, now leaning Bloomberg:

I started out strong for Elizabeth Warren, but was somewhat daunted by her plethora of expensive “plans,” which were actually just ideas or proposals. Then I went for Cory Booker, who is from my home state of New Jersey, and seemed to have a strong rhetorical advantage, but I felt he didn’t convincingly articulate his strategies, and I didnt buy the “love” thing at all. Plus he asked for money as did Warren way too often. Getting it from the grassroots is a lovely idea until you are the grassroots and unsure of the candidate. Then I had a big Sanders epiphany but agree he is not sufficiently flexible and may not be able to beat Trump, plus I hate what I’m reading about his fascistic supporters. OK, you’re not going to like this, BUT I’m considering Bloomberg. So what if he’s buying it. One of his ads does more than an entire debate to put forth his ideas and squash Trump. And the money I save by not having to pay for his campaign can go to senatorial candidates like Andrew Romanoff, the progressive alternative to Cory Gardner in Colorado. Basically I want Adam Schiff! Sigh.

Anonymous man, switched from Bush to Obama to Trump to Warren to Sanders:

I appreciate you soliciting letters from your readers. Journalists don’t do that enough these days. One of the things which keeps the GOP guys closer to their base is taking all those listener calls on talk radio. This is kind of like that.

I switched, in November, from Elizabeth Warren to Bernie Sanders.

My background: I am a male in my late 40s. I was living in central Virginia for the 2012 and 2016 elections and I lived in Ohio for the 2004 and 2008 cycles.

I am not necessarily a typical progressive. I did support Bush in ‘04 and ‘08. I voted for Obama in both ‘08 and ‘12 but I thought he was an awful president and had a lot of sympathy towards the Tea Party movement. I campaigned for Sanders during the 2016 primaries but ended up voting for Trump in the general election.

Susan Dexter, 74, Williamsburg, VA, to Warren:

I am a lifelong Democrat and would describe myself as moderate. I do think Medicare for All is best for our future but I do think it must be done incrementally for multiple reasons. It is rarely discussed that there is an entire healthcare billing and administrative industry that would become unemployed. I love Biden but I wish he had not run as I had wished Hillary would not have. I fervently hope Bernie doesn’t win the primary — number one being he is not a Democrat and is a cranky old man like the one in the White House. I live in Virginia and will probably vote for Warren. I like her and Klobuchar and Buttigieg the best in that order. We will see what happens. At age 74, I need to keep calm and view this year philosophically, but I do think our nation is at risk.

Anonymous woman, 73, Missouri, from Warren to Klobuchar:

I was very on the fence and then thinking about Warren. I am now switching to Klobuchar as the best person to walk that fine line and draw the greatest support were she to be nominated. I cannot understand anyone supporting Bernie as someone who could win. He simply cannot in my opinion.

I am 73, long time liberal, living in suburban St. Louis and I am a consultant in the education sector.

Look, I fukk with Cornel deeply, but he's talking pure shyt right here. Bernie is a legend for his 2016 run, but Warren has put more numbers on the board for the progressive movement than he has, and did it in half the time. That's a fact. All this good shyt Bernie been talking about waging war with the establishment and trying to make government work for the people, she was actually doing. It's one thing to take protest votes and say sweet shyt at press conferences so you can stay pure and insulated from the muck, but it's another thing to get in the trenches and actually fight and threaten entrenched power and be willing to make powerful enemies. That means getting off your ass and actually taking risks. Either Cornel is ignorant of what actually took place behind the scenes or he's lying to boost his candidate. If this is the movement Bernie is building, I can't fukk with it. :francis:
