It’s sad how much burden this will be for educators who truly care about outcomes.
Additionally, he has an office with numerous staff to aide in legislation, interpreting what’s happening in the world/US/congress/government.
Congresspeople are backed by a team of people, especially in party leadership roles.
He voluntarily chose to run in his district.
He voluntarily chose to lead the Dems in the House.
His actions directly impact millions of Americans every day, especially in a leadership role.
I don’t understand why he should be immune from criticism, especially if given respectfully.
What does that have to do with Jeffries? Harris endorsed Mamdani last month.

The polls about other things like personal financial habits appeared to have a LOT more thought put into what was asked, so there are clearly people capable of seemingly honest polling.
I can’t imagine most people in the media and in congress look at the questions themselves and apply basic common sense.
My statistics teacher in high school would’ve rejected my work if I surveyed a class with the slop these polling companies come up with.
I used to be a list for polling to ipsos. Too many poll questions are uselessly open to interpretation. I eventually answered poll q’s with “how can I answer so my opinion won’t get distorted” before I stopped.
ie “is the country headed in the right track” was a VERY ambiguous question under Biden
Look at Virginia’s bill on age restricted access. It was passed by almost every single lawmaker, Democrat and Republican, with ever-so-slightly Democrat majorities in both legislative chambers.
I would’ve guessed that 51-55% would’ve voted Yes, not the 99% across both chambers it passed with.
