First of all, thanks for the volunteer work you're doing. A call here, a call there starts to add up. Again, thank you.

"I'll put my randoms up against your scientifically selected panels any day, Sarah."

Are they scientifically selected? The whole focus group thing is the least useful offering from the the Bulwark, in my opinion. Why is the methodology behind the groups not published anywhere? Who are these people? How are they selected? Randomly? Are the questions administered in a systematic way, and responses recorded in a way that allows drawing valid conclusions? If not, what is the point? I listened to one Focus Group podcast and that was enough for me.

If I'm wrong about this (and I've been wrong before) and the focus group methodology is described somewhere, please paste a link for me.
