No, they're just the best, most scientifically proven way of understanding how the votes will likely turn out.
Get your head out of your ass, please. We need action (in the form of a new candidate), not more hopium and copium.

So I thought to myself, why is ozma / NYT / the Hill all of a sudden super interested in swing states, when before it was almost all talking about what the national polls show
And so I looked up what the NYT poll said about national numbers. The answer will shock you!
(Polls are crap, in general; I’m more just pointing out the hypocrisy of freaking the fuck out about Biden’s numbers tanking because of the debate, then when they don’t, pivoting seamlessly to freaking the fuck out because he’s 3 percentage points behind and he’ll never catch up and he’s being a moron to stay in, to now seamlessly freaking the fuck out about a new, however perfectly valid, way of looking at the polling, when he pulls ahead by 2-3 points nationally.)
You know our election is done state by state, right? Less hopium and copium, and more attention to the facts please. If Biden loses just one swing state, his odds of winning the electoral college drop to single digits. No matter how many millions of people turn out in California or New York, this election is going to come down to 10,000 votes across 6 swing states. And those 10,000 folks are telling us loud and clear, "BIDEN IS TOO OLD".
Will you listen?

And yet, if I point this out (in great alarm because I DON'T WANT ANOTHER TRUMP TERM) I will be accused of trying to harm the outcome of the election. Thanks a lot.
we're so fuckin cooked lmao, the dnc has straight up given up. the Bidenist regime and it's stubborn refusal to negotiate with its voter base has condemned the US to another trump presidency. I hope they sleep well in the bed they made (they will, 4 years of trump won't affect them at all. after all, they're not the ones headed to the camps)
they're not the ones headed to the camps
I wouldn't be too sure about that.
See you in the camps comrade! Ugh.
