The most obvious thing a year ago would be for the DNC to pick a new candidate and let Biden take the fall for starting WW3. I honestly don’t know what they are thinking by doing the unpopular thing yet still running Biden.

Either Biden is forcing it, or they are surprised that support for Israel would be this weak.

Both of the parties are more comfortable being the opposition when they don't actually have to do anything and can collect donations while telling people they need to vote harder.

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 34 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I always figured you can grift more when actually in power compared to fundraising like chumps in the offseason.

The amount that industry lobbyists will pay to get a government contract or whatever makes donations look petty.

But I have no sense of the actual numbers for any of this

Did you tankies consider that every vote for Trump is actually a vote for Biden?

Biden is crushing it. smuglord

[–] heartheartbreak@hexbear.net 51 points 9 months ago

Every vote for trump is a vote for fascism, and every vote for fascism is a vote for genocide ergo: every vote for trump is a vote for Biden checkmate liberals

Have Americans stopped to consider that everything is actually great and they're just stupid for not appreciating it? If you'll just look at this chart,

Maybe Biden will share that idea at his press conference tomorrow in Michigan. I'm sure it will be an even bigger hit with Arab-Americans.

I'm still neutral on how this will go. Gut says Trump, but so many wacky things happen suddenly now that who knows. Some part of me still thinks Trump might go to jail or face some legal consequences. It's still very surprising that Colorado and New Hampshire knocked him off their ballots and now it's going to the supreme court. Also either of them might die or go infirm before November.

I hate living in historically interesting moments

It might actually be funnier if biden wins despite this kind of polling. Might get a redo for Jan 6

lmao this time trump wins the popular vote but biden gets in on EC

[–] axont@hexbear.net 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

that's what I've been guessing might happen for a while. It would be hilarious. It would be the first time that would happen in a Democrat's favor (except if you count 1824, but I don't).

[–] Parent@hexbear.net 44 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Would be hilarious to see just because the chuds and libs would do a switcheroo on their EC stance.

Maybe if he does one more genocide he can turn it around

You're unironically right. War pretty much always boosts a US president's popularity. It's how Bush Jr got re elected after he stole the first election. The hogs love war. Biden bombing Iran, Yemen, or "Iranian proxies" (as American propaganda describes any group in the Middle East opposed to US interests) would boost his popularity.

An old guy wanders into a Subway shop with a guy in a suit and shades behind him. The guy talks to his wrist. The old guy has a couple minders with him too but they can't stop him from marching up to the counter to complain in a loud voice.

"I did another genocide. When do I get a free sub?"

Saw this on Reddit earlier. They libs are calling it Russian propaganda. Then they say the demographics are off - so someone comes and shows the demographics are good - they run with the "demographics are bad" anyway.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 40 points 9 months ago

Yet they quote polling like the gospels when a leftist candidate is doing badly. Funny how that works.

Libs are in copium mode already. The few I talked to about this have come back with several responses:

-"too early, people aren't paying attention and just looking to blame Biden"

-"Democrats are winning elections elsewhere"

-"Trump may be winning in the primaries, but he's not in the spotlight and 15% of Republicans won't vote for him"

-"if Trump gets charged that will spotlight his crimes"

Can't wait for liberals to claim the election was stolen, do a shitty protest in the capital, get murdered by cops, and complete their transformation into literal Blue MAGA.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 41 points 9 months ago (3 children)

get murdered by cops,

Then they'll complain that radical leftists somehow made the cops kill people.

So does political polling matter or is it bullshit? The site flip-flops on it alot.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 43 points 9 months ago

I think Biden polling 8%+ behind in swing states that he won four years ago is meaningful. It's not so decisive that it means Trump is absolutely going to win, but it's definitely not a good sign for the Dems.

[–] AlkaliMarxist@hexbear.net 35 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It does give an indication of who'd win if the election were held right now, but it's only so reliable. Right up till the last minute in 2016 the polls had Hillary far ahead of Trump, but we know how that turned out. Still, that year was somewhat of an outlier and they're usually not that far off. Really it depends on the methodology of the individual poll, inherent biases, sample sizes, demographics, etc.

These things can also be deliberately manipulated by pollsters to give the results they want.

Conversation I had with an older black friend:

Trump will not save Gaza either.
The United States was founded on genocide, slavery and is evil by definition.
It is in the interest of the oligarchy to have apathetic voters.
Third-Party candidates are a waste of time.
Biden is the lesser of both evils.
It is a moral responsibility to vote for Biden.

I'm not sure how to respond, because I like the guy, but something about older Black boomers defending the Democratic Party makes for difficult conversations.
