The routine of assigning weight to opinions, polls and surveys have historically shortchanged public organizing and in particular the 1st party victims and their answers. It's been a bad idea to replace the firsthand answers of the affected person with curated explanations and braggadocios goals while roguishly adding and subtracting context from of our answers about what’s happening. This routine of undermining firsthand answers has become worse since the political sanctioning of reframing 1 st party answers to isolate individual problems. Today too often a storyteller’s version of what happened is promoted as if it was from the ones who lived it.
