draw Euler diagrams.

Try to figure this out from your laptop on your couch. Do the Venn exclusions, and come up with a simple answer, it's really NOT beyond freshman math.

If you have a cell phone only, and are listed somewhere on some DU site, or union site, or Democratic site, and you don't answer phone calls from unknown numbers, you are NOT VERY LIKELY to be polled, EVER!

FACT!

Now move on, stop arguing with people who have more math skills than you do.
Stop trying to win each and every argument, probability is NOT about you being right 100% of the time, but about me being right MOST of the time.

Get on with trying to make a better point here. You are failing miserably, please don't tell me you are one of the chosen ones to run this site and make other Democrats look more stupid than you. There actually ARE people brighter than you here. Sorry to burst your bubble.
