    I don’t do these polls. They are just a way to get a foot in the door to solicit donations. The majority of the time you can’t even complete them without pledging to donate.

      Yes, they solicit donations. It doesn’t mean you have to donate. I do them to influence the party. Give me the policies I want, then I’ll donate.

        They get their guiding information from real polls, collected by real people, over the phone or in person. There is no way they would rely on a crazy inaccurate web poll to gather any useful information. If you analyze these “polls” at all, you can easily see that they are barely disguised push-polls without any statistical value. They would be crazy to rely on them.

        I DO participate when an actual pollster conducting an actual scientific poll calls me,

          I understand this. But the fact that a PAC is using disinterest for Biden to solicit donations is telling. I know that it won’t affect the party decision. But it is a way display dissatisfaction for those decisions.
