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

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!

"He's stronger than Biden." "He's weaker than his Republican opponents (none of whom could beat Biden)." "He's strong." "He's weak."
FFS, make up your mind. This is why these polls don't fucking mean shit.
Fascism requires that you be strong enough to defend against your foes, while the foes have the power to keep you down.
That's true, but this isn't Fascism. This is pollsters coming to wildly different conclusions, hence my frustration at both the disparate polls and polling this far out from the election.
Plus, Trump gets a defacto 30% of the GOP vote, because that's how many of them are his cultists. There is no fucking way he's weaker than his Republican challengers.
GOP pollster. Read the article. The guy is creating propaganda.
Who's promoting fascism here?? The ... news agencies on behalf of Democrats? Just because different dumb news polls turn up different doesn't magically equal the simultaneously strong/weak fascism trope. Stop using "fascism" as the response to everything. It doesn't even make sense here.
In between jan 6th and project 2025, you are claiming the GQP isn't fascist?
I think they're saying that the previous person, who quoted the enemy is both strong and weak thing about media reporting on Trump's polling, was not pointing it at the correct people, because a dispirate group of journalists/pollsters are portraying Trump as both strong and weak. Confused articles disagreeing with each other on the rocking boat that is polls a full year out does not a fascism make, is the point.
The article makes it pretty clear that the pollster himself is disagreeing with himself:
GOP pollster. Read the article. It’s propaganda. (Not the article itself, but the pollster is generating propaganda.)
Thank you!
Trump being weak is an opinion of one man.
