Analysis: recent poll on voter intentions

About half of all voters would replace both candidates on the ballot.

62% of Biden-supporting voters would replace Biden.

Voters have little confidence in either Trump or Biden, including re fitness for office, personal ethics & respect for democratic values.

Pew research shows 49% of registered voters favor Trump, while 48% support Biden.

People on Twitter are debating whether a person using uncommon words like "delve" are trying to sound smarter than they are, or worse, are ChatGPT bots, because "normal" people don't talk like that.

You don't have to get upset, or embroiled in the debate. Not worth the time or attention. But I'll share some important context as your friendly neighborhood Nigerian 🙋🏿‍♂️

Many Nigerians have bigger English language vocabularies and better command of grammar than the typical American or English person

It’s always been obvious. Trump’s been a Russian operative–or a useful idiot for them–from the get-go. Remember 2016, when he openly requested that Putin interfere with our elections. Since then, it’s been a lovefest.

There's a reason adjudicated fraud, sexual abuser, defamer, and 88 felonies charged Trump cozies up to Putin. Putin helped Trump win his first term, and now Trump owes him. It was never about 'America First', it's always been about satisfying the dictator he's indebted to.

It all started in 1987 when the KGB paid for his trip to Moscow. In 2008 when Dmitry Rybolovlev bought his palm beach property for twice what trump had just paid for it…(and I have no doubt there are even earlier data points for when putin began grooming trump)…imagine how easy it must have been for a KGB agent to dupe him.

    Rings true, though I don't like to give that guy any points. /IF/ this is influencing US foreign policy, they should consider that for a former colony, you can't have democracy without some kind of nationalism, raising a national flag in defiance of colonial power was the first thing democrats in Norway did, when they got the chance.

    I hope that the US will realise that for long term stability and prosperity, democracy beats playing power-games with religious rulers any day.

    @DrALJONES I get that, and I won't pester you with a long tedious debate, just like to say that /to me/ he comes off as denying the Ukrainian people agency, though I have not read him at length. It may well be that helping Ukraine furthers the interests of hawks in the US, but that is not the important aspect to me.

    The New York Times is now visibly working -- from the "news" side of the operation -- to undermine Biden's re-election.

    More than most of Big Journalism, it has been thumping the right-wing-generated "he's too old" drum even before the 2020 election. The poll published today, from my perspective, is designed to further a narrative that the so-called Paper of Record has done so much to create.

    I thought a new top editor might be an improvement. Kahn has been, in fact, a disaster.

    It's a bit sad when people block you for a post without even looking at your bio. Liberals on Twitter are so used to trolls that they continue playing in here. Not really understanding that some threads are people learning & collaborating.

    Being free to discuss, even criticise Biden, as a way of understanding solutions to the fuckery facing us.

    I get these "Fuck you Russian troll!" messages, then the account dissappear.

    I hate Putin just as much as they do.
    I also hate genocide.

    @RustyBertrand I have to say I'm guilty as charged here (don't know if it was towards you or someone else). It's just sometimes my frustration boils over. I see somebody arguing in a way that makes the only logical conclusion be "tear the whole world down, all is lost anyway" makes me explode. ALL IS NOT LOST. Sometimes the people in power are doing the best they know how, moving the needle just a little in the right direction. Keep making yourself heard, and it has an effect, over time. 1/2

    If anyone, especially the Nvidia CEO, tells you not to teach your kids maths, science, coding, art, or personal finance. Ignore him and do the opposite of what he is saying. Teach your kids the skills they need to thrive. Embrace education for all kids. By encouraging critical thinking and a love of learning, you give your kids powerful tools to shape their futures, which also helps build strong nations.

    "[Scotland] would tend to be in chronic surplus to a quite embarrassing degree and its currency would become the hardest in Europe, with the exception perhaps of the Norwegian kroner."

    Read the 1975 McCrone Report in full. Then reflect on why it was buried by successive UK governments for three decades and is still taboo at Westminster.

    "The McCrone Report coverage has no paywall. We believe it is vitally important that everybody can access it."

    We (Norway) had the good fortune to have a system in place for retaining waterfall rights on public hands since early 1900s, with a few 100-year leases to big industries. The idea was well loved across the political spectrum. Keeping the oil on public hands came naturally.

    What if Trump doesn't pay this Engoron ruling, and did not appeal?

    30 days from now, Manhattan sheriff walks up to Trump properties & seizes enough he thinks he needs & AUCTIONS THEM. Trump has NO SAY which. When fine plus interest = $453M been generated, stops selling remainder

    New: Inside the massive FBI investigation into investors of Trump Media's merger ally. A Russian owner of a Caribbean bank and a Miami "granddaddy" of weed-shop finance made tens of millions on insider trades into the big Truth Social deal, court docs show. But federal agents were on their tail - with an undercover informant, secret phone scans and a money-laundering scheme they called the “full Singapore" https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/02/03/trump-social-dwac-investigation/
