Random samples can be skewed by bias. Properly constructed samples that properly reflect the demographics of voters are simply more accurate. If the goal is to provide an accurate prediction of how the population will vote, then you have to have an properly constructed sample. That's why the polls that said Hillary would win in a landslide were bogus. They consistently used samples that had 5-10% more Democrats, so their polls consistently showed she'd win. But then many Democrats stayed home and Republicans and centrists came out in droves to vote for Trump. So they completely misread the composition of likely voters and the mix between Democrats and Republicans. In fact, I called those facts out on these threads back when those polls were produced and I pointed out that those polls were skewed. But no one listens when the facts don't fit the narrative they are pumping to the masses. So keep up your propaganda. I'm immune, although, the sheeple probably are not immune.
