I got all of that information and speculation about polls by listening to NPR. So, yes, I do " read stuff beyond tweets and facebook posts"
Never change yard dog also no one believes that you listen to NPR but find all of those batshit crazy facebook posts "interesting."
I realize listening to NPR is not reading. Any halfway intelligent individual would understand I was making the statement that I am not getting my news from facebook and Twitter like you suggest.
So you are saying that because of your opinion on politics it is impossible that I listen to NPR? I have a lengthy commute everyday and NPR's All Things Considered never disappoints. I am not lying that I heard them discuss polling on NPR.
Dissenting opinions are also not automatically "bigoted" or "batshit crazy". Those talking points only make the person using them seem ignorant and uneducated. It is important as well rounded individuals to understand what all sides of an issue are, not just saying "lalala" with your fingers in your ears.
