I have a new, sizeable friend group: people who, like me, used to be committed, active Democrats but who now see themselves as neither Democrat nor Republican. One of these friends, Diane Perlman, writes in the substack https://coronawise.substack.com/ about what would be necessary to create a postpartisan era (among other topics related to the current manufactured crisis).

I'm not sure how polls that assume traditional dividing lines account for people like us. Anyway, Joel, a number of us read your work and appreciate your efforts.

Various entities that create these types of polls possibly have an interest in keeping the traditional lines of division where they are. I'm pretty sure that's true of the WaPo.

How can you have a gain of function vaccine for a gain of function virus! How is it my mother and I are unvaccinated and never had covid ( we did cheat with industrial respirators which are much easier to breathe out of and do indeed filter out viruses, I wouldn’t even use a medical mask as a dust mask!).
