    God I hate this country. Bunch of idiots. Oh maybe the dude clearly not looking out for the countries best interest should run the country. Like he clearly is going to be convicted on several accounts from his first term. This criminal who only wants to continue ruining the country for his own profits. Who mishandled every single damn event in his presidency. Who supports white supremacy. That’s who we should get to run the country. Good god Republicans maybe try to pretend you still want a free America.

    Frankly I can’t see how anyone on beehaw can claim they are being nice while supporting Trump. Someone clearly aiming to remove LGBTQIA+ from the country if not the world.

      FAKE NEWS

      All you have to do a GQP supporter is recite that mantra and you free yourself of the Woke Virus by wiping your mind clean! Suddenly Trump never did or said all those things on youtube

    “Additionally, Mr Biden’s age remains a problem for many who believe at 80 years old, he is too old to run again.”

    Trump will be the same age Biden is now in 2026.

    Yeah sure. In other news, poll statistics are skewed to whatever yields shocking headlines.

      A dumb take. Outlier polls may be flawed or they may contain useful information that other pollsters are missing. But we won’t find out which if they get publicly shamed for releasing them.

        I think the criticism is that they’re repeatedly publishing these and claiming they’re outliers without attempting to show how they got their results, from what I’m reading.

      IOW: the average person will see no reason to vote because things aren’t like when Trump was in charge.

      Trumpers are mad and are being made madder still. They will turn out to vote like crazy.

      If won’t vote, you better start learning Russian and mandarin

      I meet a lot of Vote Blue No Matter Who people on lemmy.

      Blue MAGA vs Trump MAGA

      Not sure where you interact with people…

        There really isn’t a blue MAGA.

        There’s a blue leftist movement (Bernie Politics), a blue liberal movement (Obama Politics), and then there’s Red Trump MAGA…

        A lot of people in that leftist crowd don’t think Biden cares about them or that the current generation of Democrats can get anything done but they sure don’t want Trump. A lot of people in the center (including independents) don’t get the message about Biden’s accomplishments, including the Obama politics crowd (and a large part of that is folks just don’t want to have conversations like this, and the conservative media machine is very good at pushing nonsense about how Biden is ineffective).

          I would add that polls don’t mean shit that far away from the vote. People can still be angry for some good reasons, and manage to do best thing to do on D-day. I still remember when polls were saying that nobody would vote for Trump.

        Hi, Im one of those people who jumps in to say “vote for democrats, because they are definitely crappy but they are significantly less crappy and dangerous for everyone not a straight white wealthy (male) christian.”

        I agree with you that America does desperately need a truly progressive alternative. But the problem is FPTP exists. Until it is gone, voters are screwed.

        I will stop posting these kinds of responses to your posts however, if you think people being alarmed about republicans and wanting to stop them is “blue maga”.

        Look, this is politics and all, but blatant false equivalencies in a world of disinformation is dangerous, unenlightening, and unproductive. I’ll leave it for now, but try to be more thoughtful in the future.

        Well, if MAGA means Make America Great Again, I can confirm that anything not Red would indeed make America better again. I mean, did you see the fucking shitshow that is the GOP right now? Not wanting to kill women in birth and kids in school shootings should be more than enough, don’t you think?

    Who are they polling? I mean seriously, who actually picks up a call on their phone from a number they don’t recognize?

    Polling means nothing these days. Election trends matter. That’s it.

    Pointless survey since we don’t have national elections.

    We won’t have a real understanding until we can count Trump primary votes and compare that to the state by state results in the 2016 primary and general.

    Then it’s matter of following state by state polling until election day.
