About the DNC polls

Hi everyone. Yang Gang here. I made an observation recently and felt like it might be worth sharing here since Tulsi is the only candidate I really see calling the DNC out on their actions. It's something that needs to be done, and I wish more candidates would speak out about it.

I checked out the latest Iowa poll in full, which can be found here. If I'm understanding the data right it turns out that a little under .05% of the state's population was polled, and their margin of error was 4.6%, a number larger than the percentage needed to qualify. 4.6% is actually considered a good number but at the same time I can't help but feel the margin of error + the low percentage of people polled hurts candidates outside the mainstream a lot. Does anyone else feel this way?

I'd like to show some support for Tulsi because of her stance on the DNC, but I'm not sure where things stand now since I haven't followed her campaign too closely yet. Are there any donor thresholds or anything equally important coming up in the next month she needs to meet to qualify for future debates?

Shes already met the donor requirements for the November and December debates but just needs the polls now.

Hey Yanger, it's very cool that you're supporting Tulsi's moves against the DNC. I hope more and more Yang Gang recognize the vital role Tulsi has in these primaries in calling out the DNC and keeping them on notice. After all, if the DNC can screw her over, they can screw over any other candidate. You might be interested in this post I made which basically explains to Bernie supporters the exact points that you're making. In that post I go through some of the best ways that you can help Tulsi:

So what can we do in practical terms to help Gabbard? First and foremost we need to follow what she and her campaign are doing. Follow her on twitter, join r/tulsi, join her mailing list, sub her on youtube. Also you can donate $1 to her campaign to boost her individual donor numbers. Defend her on twitter, facebook, reddit, youtube, etc. Learn about her, her background, and her policies. I HIGHLY recommend her interview with Joe Rogan. It's one of the best political interviews I've heard. There's a part when she talks about her first day in Congress and the pressure to be bartisan that happens on day one (really good insight into how Washington is deliberately gridlocked).

Thanks for the info! I checked out the post and I'm listening to the interview now. It's really informative. I hadn't known that Tulsi had a DNC position in the past. That really makes her uniquely qualified to speak on them.
