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!

Hart Research Associates/Public Opinion Strategies Study #230343 -- | page 01 of 23 | November 2023 NBC News Survey

Interviews: 1000 Registered Voters, including 833 respondents interviewed via cellphone. | Date: November 10-14, 2023

The erosion for Biden is most pronounced among Democrats, a majority of whom believe Israel has gone too far in its military action in Gaza, and among voters ages 18 to 34, with a whopping 70% of them disapproving of Biden’s handling of the war.

But Horwitt cautioned that Biden can bring these disaffected Democrats and younger voters back into the fold. “These are people who have a proven track record in voting for Biden and Democrats,” he said.

Yet what stands out in the new survey is the shift among voters ages 18 to 34. In September, 46% of these voters said they approved of Biden’s job performance.

The NBC News poll — conducted Nov. 10-14 — comes more than a month after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, which killed more than 1,000 Israelis, and the subsequent war in Gaza, which has killed thousands more Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials.

All of this is shaping a general election that’s still some 350 days away. Biden trails Donald Trump for the first time in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup in the NBC News poll, though the deficit falls well within the survey’s margin of error.

Meanwhile, despite lower approval ratings from members of his own party, Biden gets support from a whopping 77% of national Democratic primary voters in the first NBC News poll to test the party’s 2024 presidential primary.

Looking ahead to the 2024 congressional elections, 47% of registered voters say they prefer a Republican-controlled Congress, versus 45% who want Democrats in charge. Back in September’s poll, voters split 46% Democratic, 45% Republican on this question.

This response is so pointless and wrong. It's how you feel about left vs right and not about reality. Biden is firmly and white far to the left of Donald. Good is always better than perfect, especially when pure evil is how you put your vote if you don't show up. It's an entire vote, not half that's not how math works.

the overton window has shifted so far right in the last decade that the old-school republicans would be centrist or pressing a bit into today's left. and that's what I'm trying to tell you. Voting for Biden is not voting for a progressive candidate. it's voting to slow down the shift into fascism. But it doesn't stop that shift. To stop that shift, you need a legitimately progressive candidate, so as to shift the overton window back to where it was (or, you know, maybe further left?)

Biden is firmly and white far to the left of Donald

Yeah. you're right. So is, for example, George W.. Being left of trump doesn't make you a progressive, or even a centrist. Biden is not "Good". he's barely "adequate". so I guess I'm fucked to have a "barely adequate" government for the rest of my life because you're so fucking lazy you can't pull your head out of your ass, while the right constantly erodes our government into a fascist hellhole.

specially when pure evil is how you put your vote if you don’t show up

Did I NOT FUCKING JUST SAY I WOULD BE VOTING FOR BIDEN? Are you able to read? or are you just trolling? fuck me. You 'Blue no matter who types' need to get a new script. I've been hearing that since the first election. It's tiring and it's clearly not working. So go ahead, call me an idiot for seeing something that isn't working, and wanting something different, while humming out all the slogans and mantras from thirty years ago. the fascists approve of your efforts.
