There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Biden probably did himself irreparable harm at his press conference yesterday, he needs to drop out and let California Governor Gavin Newsom take over, he'd run circles around trump!
The fact the White House got a new spokesman to speak for Biden about the Special Counsel's decision says a lot. His team doesn't trust him to appear before the press, they don't want him making anymore public mistakes that show his possible cognitive decline. Call Newsom, call Michelle Obama, call somebody!
This is turning into the RBG debacle 2.0.

It seems plausible that some of the people who are unhappy after transitioning would no longer consider themselves trans, so if we're trying to determine what percentage of people are happier after transitioning, this isn't the way to do it.
It's a bit like looking at whether the Catholic church is successful by limiting the questions to current Catholics. That is going to exclude the people who left the church. Likewise, a poll about whether people are happily married might say different things about the strength of the institution depending on the divorce rate.
I don't think that explanation tracks here.
The whole point of the poll is to be the biggest survey, counting everybody who wants to be counted. That can't be done 100 times, especially with the hope of getting different results.

How does the Democratic party sub in Newsom?
As a practical matter, if Biden announced he's not running for another term, I don't see anyone other than Kamala Harris getting the nomination (unless she has a health issue, or criminal problems.) I'm open for any explanation on the process by which someone else is picked where the incumbent Vice President (the first woman elected to national office) is outmaneuvered, especially given the Democratic party's focus on identity politics.

You're calling up his legacy way too early.
Tucker's fake laugh makes the first one of those entirely, the last one's mockery is in the viewer's imagination. The one about the CIA, yeah, that's mocking. One instance, in the span of 2+ hours, hardly seems like the entire time.
I'd think they've been preparing for it for a while. Newsom isn't really talked about outside of California except by the kind of Republican talking heads that treat California like some hellblasted Mad Max wasteland and act like Gavin Newsom is Master Blaster. He just doesn't have enough of a nation presence. People at least know and kind of like Joe Biden, even if they treat him like their grandpa that's been on the same job for 60 years. Without a campaign, debates, or the right media coverage he'll just be letting the Republicans control the narrative. And that's just asking to lose.
I mean, is that statistically important? With how few people actually de-transition (<1%-5% considering the study) their level of happiness(or lack their of) after transitioning doesn't seem like adding it would skew the data in any way.
Which is why the comparison to Catholicism doesn't track, as where there aren't many people who de-transistion there are many people who are lapsed Catholics or have stopped believing entirely and the same is true with marriages.
