Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

While 42 percent of Republicans said they would reconsider voting for any politician who said what the former president reportedly did, their concern dissipated when the remarks were attributed to Trump.
On getting that piece of information, 42 percent of Republicans said they would be more likely to vote for the former president as a result, and just 12 percent that they would be less likely to vote for him.
Don't try to convince Trump voters. Just get your friends to vote, instead of staying home. Fucking vote.
I think this is also a good indicator of how loud Trump voters are. They really want to shout "Trump!" as loudly as possible, because he represents freedom from repercussions. Polls right now are balanced because Trump supporters are shouting as loud as they can. Biden voters barely pick up the phone.
Just vote. Ignore the few loud losers yelling their opinions. Vote.
Good news, for Trump, is that you can still be President with 40% of the vote.
That just shows that they still need to be informed on the 112 climate policies he repealed in his first term. He rolled back ten years of progress. Share this wherever you can.

Useless article after you read this:
"The polling numbers come with an enormous asterisk: Many voters responded very differently when it was not just an anonymous politician but Trump, who remains enormously popular among Republicans.

So as usual God Emporer Trump™ can do no wrong. They probably thought the "anonymous politician" was referring to Biden...
We already know most die hard republicans won't turn on trump, it's the centrists and independents who are important. And turnout. If there is a large Dem turnout they win.
12% of republicans is enough. If half that many vote for the libertarian party in Texas, and the other half switch to Joe, that's the entire election.
Republicans are NOT in a Cult but they DO support LITERALLY EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES even if they don't actually support what Trump does!
In what world is 58% two thirds?
58% is pretty close to 60% so may as well just make it 6/10 for neatness
6/10 is pretty close to 6/9 so may as well make it 2/3 for neatness
Pi also equals 3

7/12 was too weird for a headline
