    She’s a political opportunist and totally spineless, unwilling to take any risks against the guy you don’t support but keep supporting.

    Ok, that would be the normal evaluation of an ethical and moral human being. You, OTOH, are a craven and violent little asshole so you have a different view of what makes a shitty person.

    Just so you know, no one is accusing her of not abusing people who you do not like, and not being out to make life more miserable for brown people.

    Remember the Republican party that begged Colin Powell to run?
    Boy, that seems like a century ago now, doesn't it?

    Biden's approval rating is now at 38%. Gavin Newsom anyone?

    Biden is an angry old white entitled Karen. You have to have someone run against him, and that is not happeningh anymore because primary registration is pretty much done if you want to win.

    Joe is the candidate now because no one else who would be a challenge is running. Joe is not going to step down because he is an old white entitled man. You are not going to get a guy with that much ego to give it a rest.

    It is going to be Biden vs Trump again. Maybe they will Convict Trump of something and that will force the repugs to chose someone else, but they do not seem to be wanting that so it is going to be Biden vs Trump again.

    Both sides are annoyed at the other side for running the same POS again, but really they should be angry at their own party for not offering better than the lowest POS they could find in their party. They both dug for the worst and they got it again.

    No, FF, that’s not how the system works. And polls, especially this far out, are meaningless. “Approval rating” polls doubly so. Just because you don’t approve of the job someone is doing doesn’t mean that you’re not going to vote for them.

    Actually I misspoke. The poll was 33%. And there is obviously some correlation with voting intention. IIRC there has never been a successful reelection for this office of someone with this kind of rating.

    There’s also never been a candidate running against open fascist before. And because most polls are conducted via landline, the only people who respond to them tend to be elderly and have the political acumen of FF. That’s why you get results like these.

    And the polls have never been wrong. That’s why Dewey beat Truman , Hillary beat Trump and the Republicans won both houses of Congress in the 2022 Red Wave.

    Someone needs to make a porno where the guy is like "the liberals are all sucking my dick, so you'd better suck my dick too! Y'know, to beat 'em to the punch. :?:".

    Just want to point out that, historically, the Republican who wins the Iowa caucuses doesn't get to be President. (Most of the time, they don't even wind up being the GOP nominee.) Not saying that this will continue to hold true, just that I wouldn't get excited over the results, no matter what the outcome.

    Further demonstrating that Trumpism and mainstream Republican thinking are one and the same. :(

    That's not necessarily true. You see people all of the time say that they don't like his personality or they don't like the way he talks, but they need someone who stands a chance at winning. Ron Desantis just isn't that charismatic and Niki Hailey can't really point to anything she accomplished as governor.

    She took the traitors' flag off the state capitol.

    Not saying she's done a lot for the people of her state, but she's done less harm than most Republican governors do.

    Pretty much any elected official who's actually interested in helping people has been drummed out of the party by now.

    If people are voting for Trump because they think he has more chance of winning, then they are saying they think Trump best represents the desires of the mainstream.
