Fuck polling on human right issues. The civil rights movement was never popular in the polls. Even freeing slaves across all of "Americans" before the Civil War was never popular.

Human rights shouldn't have to be popular to be enforced. But polling to indicate how popular opinion shifts as an indicator for politics is beneficial and should happen.

Not arguing that.
