Biden himself ran for president and won on the third shot. But, since two woman ran for president and lost, thats a sign that no woman can get elected.
Its not that women can’t win. Its that centrist dems than run on the status quo when the Democratic party is polling abysmally can’t win.
NYC hates Cuomo though. They hated him before the scandal.
I find the 33/33/33 rule works. 33% of people just like authoritarianism during this period of history. I’m not sure if that’s a constant or because of the current climate making people stressed and weird. But they feel safer when someone says they’re going to take control and fix everything and they feel like they don’t have to think about it beyond that. They will agree with anything their in group says because it soothes them. These are your cultists.
Another 33% are just checked out. They’re stressed in the same way, but instead of turning to an authoritarian to fix the problem they just bury their head in the sand. They feel like they’re too small to fix anything so why even try. These people sometimes still vote if its convenient enough and are complete wildcards when they do because they really have no clue what’s happening. They vote on vibes. This is also where trolls tend to sit.
That just leaves just 33% of people who are paying attention and either aren’t stressed and have the emotional bandwidth, have interest, or have the persistence to pay attention even when stressed to try and do something to stop the authoritarianism (even if that’s just vote).
This leaves 1% which is the literal 1% trying to pull the strings.
All these articles are pure hopeium. I check his approval rating daily hoping my country will gain some sense. His approval is higher than his first term. Half the population has has their brains turned to scrambled eggs by social media. And I get the irony of saying this on social media.
People are impressionable and the tech bros who control movement of information have fallen in line behind Trump. It’s going to be a bumpy ride y’all.
Should we let perfect be the enemy of good?
This is the exact problem. The DNC get to watch Trump enact terrible legislation. The electorate will swing back to them. They then will then repeal all the legislation they don’t benefit from and will look like the good guys. But they’ll keep all the legislation that helps politicians pocket more money and humm and haw about bipartisanship making it difficult to change things.
They’d rather do this than have a shift within the party that causes the senior politicians to lose their crowns.
Exactly. After everything that’s happened, barely negative is pathetic. Its game over.
Ahh so the whole pic is Photoshop and he actually still looks like an android
There’s a lot of local positions and some relatively leftist pockets in the us. This is why leftists need to vote more in small local elections.
The people related to immigrants are often voting constituents interested in their and their families rights if that’s what you mean. Immigrant do have constitutional rights. For example, you can’t just deny them freedom of speech or enslave them just because they’re non citizens. That would be wild.
I did that for years and then I emigrated because it didn’t work.
They aren’t the same. But they don’t need to be the same for them to both suck and not deserve to be in power. But harm reduction is real.
OK. But what are you actually doing right now? What are any of us doing right now?
In understand cherry picking just fine. You only like the data that fits your narrative and it’s pretty obvious. Any thing doesn’t firt your narrative is “liberal” or an “outlier.” People like you always have excuses when the evidence doesn’t say exactly what you want it to.
Sounds like a lot of mental gymnastics for cherry picking.
No. I just don’t use truth social. And for 2.5 years after the 2020 election I didn’t hear anything about trump and it was glorious. And I pay attention to politics.
P.s. your real clear polling link has trump doing worse that 538, so maybe you should just stick to 538.
I used your specific 538 source ya goober. You can’t give a source and then cherry pick what i should read from it.
I heard didly from Trump for years until he started campaigning again. The GOP establishment turned their back on him after he lost the 2020 election. But sure. Unquestionable leader.
But you’re really just going to make up whatever definitions that suits your narrative. Trump was the unquestionable leader after he became a pariah but the VP is not at the center of politics at all. Absolutely wild assertions.
Anti intellectualism is rampant everywhere. It’s dangerous to act like far right anti intellectual populism isn’t a rampant global phenomenon right now. Sure its easier to see it in the declining USA empire as it collapses in part due to its like far right anti intellectual populism, but its everywhere.
