Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Curious... who would you vote for if it didn't matter? or lets say trump carked and the pubies ceased being relevant after infighting. Pipe dream, but, if biden was the other guy, and you could pick anyone you wanted... who would it be?

already know

democrats could run a dead body and people would still be slobbering over it

and that is the attitude that got this country here in the first place

football politics with the teams being Red MAGA and Blue MAGA

never mind the shithole we live in because of career politicians such as Biden

There is no blue maga. There is no cult.

A steaming pile of dogshit instead of trump, any election, every single election.

What is so hard to understand? The Republic is literally at stake.

Imagine the shit hole after 4 years of trump if you will.

The poll of 1,253 adults was conducted July 11-15, 2024, using a sample drawn from NORC’s probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population. The margin of sampling error for all respondents is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

Wow 1,000 people. That’s just enormous. Way more than the number of people who can fit in a phone booth.

Polls are so accurate amirite?

I wonder if it was a sampling of folks who were at home during the day with a landline.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Oh no, this is the future of polling. These are people who specifically signed up to take polls. Gave their real email and agreed to all the terms and conditions. Used a supported browser, approved all the scripts, got profiled out the wazoo.

As one does.
