Or you could say the propoganda being used is more effective that the non-extreme are parroting the extremist views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG-91 1,488 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I can't get the damn thing to copy from my phone, but I'm pretty much at the ordered pair (0,-3). I don't really like the wording of some of the questions (if a question had "always", for example, I pretty much disagree with that at a minimum...I definitely work and live in the shades of gray), but it's still a decent big-picture poll.

As I’ve said before, only 20% of the country is maga. And only another 20% is progressive or further left. The 60% that’s left I believe don’t post or talk too much because they’re not political junkies. And they have absolutely no idea what to do. But policy matters. It isn’t just about Trump being nuts, it’s also about Biden being a VERY weak candidate with a shaky track record. IMO If he were to simply step aside and a more intellectually capable and moderate candidate were to run - Trump would be crushed by 20 pts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His policies aren't all perfect but Trump's would be a disaster, especially regarding foreign policy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch bill maher last night he said something I’m hearing more and more - elections will become about sane vs nuts. And he lumps both maga and the progressive left as 2 sides of the same dangerous coin - nuts. btw https://www.mediaite.com/news/poll-bill-maher-trusted-more-than-tucker-carlson-joe-rogan-and-even-jake-tapper/ Edited January 20 by auburnatl1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they control the Democratic party? What serious political power do they have? This is a case of false equivalency. The "progressive left" are hardly the "opposite side of the same dangerous coin". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew that’d get a rise from you😇 I’m not equating but I am saying both parties have abandoned the majority of Americans ideology and priorities. And the polls bear me out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the only defense they have. It is demonstrably false, as you apparently recognize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Biden's inability to form full sentences doesn't make you cringe? Biden's inability to climb a set of stairs doesn't give you pause? His looking like a pampers-wearing dolt before the rest of the world that never really respected him anyway? That doesn't make you stop and think? His now perpetual "War through Proxy with the Russians" is costing $100BNs a year and going nowhere. His petroleum policy that led to the first real inflation since Carter screwed over the entire US economy wasn't a bad thing? Most people in the US don't want trump or Biden. The fact that the intellectual dildoes in both parties are going to give the American People exactly what they do not want doesn't make you cringe? How the **** are Biden and trump the real answer to anyone in the US? How? Edited January 21 by DKW 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And forever more dwelling on a nickel's difference is why at this moment we seeing polling clearly saying that the vast majority of thinking people do not want either of these clowns on the ticket. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/few-u-s-adults-want-a-biden-trump-rematch-in-2024-ap-norc-poll-shows Most U.S. adults overall (56 percent) would be “very” or “somewhat” dissatisfied with Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024, and a similar majority (58 percent) would be very or somewhat dissatisfied with Trump as the GOP’s pick. Nearly 3 in 10 U.S. adults, or 28 percent, say they would be dissatisfied with both Trump and Biden becoming their party’s respective nominees – with independents (43 percent) being more likely than Democrats (28 percent) or Republicans (20 percent) to express their displeasure with both men gaining party nominations.

Two fringes grab the bullhorn which amplifies and exacerbates divide. Not a good thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
