    It's kind of weird how many posts are ghosted on my feed here, lol.  This place is nearly dead for me and I only ignore a couple of the several people who post here.  It's like an AMT coup d'état or something.  Maybe I should just leave and come back in November when 45 and cat-women hater have had their asses kicked. 

    No, please stay, Brian. If dialogue is shut down because it's drowned out by trolls and sh!tposting, well, what if that's the goal?? [Or, you could join the pro-democracy crown at The Bulwark; we've built a great community there!]
    Sounds like a wonderful “safe space”. Bran would be welcomed with open arms and a pink princess parade!
    Something I’ve never understood; this unmitigated hatred towards all liberals/the left. The left was at fitst confused by cult 45 (later figuring out the reason), but there’s no singular generalized hatred towards republicans/conservatives as a whole that comes anywhere close to the same. Show us on the chart where liberals hurt you snowflakes so badly to generate such irrational hatred. 
    To the people in the middle it’s very obvious. There’s 30% far left, there’s 30% far right. They all think they are 100% correct about everything. They are the same. 

    One thing in common for them is Trump. He controls every aspect of their days and lives. Just go look at these threads! How much time do these people have on their hands? Find a hobby! Whether they love or hate Trump, in every topic they find a way to blame him or herald him as a God. It’s sickness. And they all deny it. 

    You can’t discuss a policy or event about Biden or Harris here without 4-5 radicals jumping in about what Trump did or would or wouldn’t do. Likewise you can’t talk to a far right Republican without them somehow interjecting how Trump is the savior of our country. 

    It’s all entertainment for me. If people are using the ignore (which I guarantee they are not) because they can’t handle a differing opinion then hats off to
    me. 




    And the 30% on the far left are not the same-same as the 30% on the far right. Not even close. Not even remotely so. Not even in the same universe. Just so you know.
    Also, the obvious point that there is an ongoing choice between the two means it is difficult to discuss one without looking at the contrasting position.

    I mean, I read that 30% of the people who say they are the middle are the far right in disguise.
    🥸 
    It seems that way because you can’t tolerate any difference of your beliefs and opinion. Your defense mechanism is to accuse someone of being MAGA/far right, if they differ from you. That’s perfectly fine. 

    There’s a thread of “Friends/Family who are Trump Supporters”. There’s people who have stated they won’t talk or associate and lost friendships because of a political view. Why? Blows my mind that someone couldn’t handle it. But that’s what happens when Trump controls your life as a liberal I guess.
    Can’t imagine why people wouldn’t want to associate with people with political brain rot so severe that they take the tails and apply it to the median with a broad brush

    That’s because you are in the 30% of far left. You just proved my point. You think you’re unequivocally correct. That’s why to the people in the middle we will always think you’re the same.
    When self identified people in the middle obsessively cling to bothsideism, they’re using the same logical fallacies they claim are the problem with the right and the left.

    Let’s be honest. The Republicans could dump Trump and replace him with Eddie Vedder and you’re still not voting for him.

    Do you think these things through before hitting post? 

    The logic of that makes no sense.

    Is someone actually trying to claim that being pro-democracy is a trait of the "far left"? We have an authoritarian trying to position themself as a centrist? Really?
    No. Nope. I'm not buying it. I'm not far left (TBH "The Squad" makes me cringe.) I'm not even moderately left. I voted Libertarian until 2008. I'm pro gun rights (I'm from hunting culture, I don't think anyone needs an AR), pro balanced budget, pro small government. And I'm a big, big fan of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights (yes, including the Second Amendment) in particular. I'm a firm believer that what consenting adults do together is their own business, not mine, not yours, not the government's. I don't believe there's room for ANY of you gentlemen in the exam room when I'm talking to my doctor. I think drag queens are fun, not scary.
    I'm an actual centrist. People in the middle, in general, want the government to handle defense and responsible spending and otherwise leave us the f--- alone and make our own decisions.
    And, to be honest, I'm too busy dealing with the sh!tshow that is our lives right now to get all wrapped around an axle about how other people are living their lives. Where do people find the time and energy to get worked up about who other folks are sleeping with, how they dress, what they eat? I can barely remember what month it is.
    If you still think the 45th POTUS is the best option after all the myriad issues of his administration and after, most of all, he tried to overturn election results and remain in power through force and violence, thereby disenfranchising tens of millions of people, you are not "in the middle" of the political spectrum. That's just not a thing -- that's not how any of this works.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    This is a really strange post. It’s like you are experiencing Stockholm Syndrom. You keep parroting right wing MAGA propaganda yet insisting you are a moderate. Literally everything you have said is a right wing talking point. You don’t even understand the hold that MAGA has on you. You think that because you once held Trump in contempt, that somehow absolves you of your current insane ideals. It doesn’t. You aren’t moderate. You are in a cult. And you are the most dangerous one, because you don’t think you’re a supporter, but your liberal hate precludes you from any other ideology. You are the leftover of the 2016 libertarian that champions Trump not for policy, but to “call out” the entire system. But you’re pathetically 4 years too late. You’re the worst of all sheep. The one left behind who thinks “I’m all alone so that makes me a visionary” when in fact you’re a he pathetically left behind.

    Fair to point out that you repeatedly make the same assumptions here. 

    You spend all energy positioning against Old Man Joe and Kamala Harris.  That is the same thing as supporting that pos Trump.
    Which it is an easy line to you being a MAGA

    Same way you put any of us who think Trump should be in jail vs. running for President as being Liberal Lefty Commies.

You are the leftover of the 2016 libertarian that champions Trump not for policy, but to “call out” the entire system. But you’re pathetically 4 years too late. You’re the worst of all sheep. The one left behind who thinks “I’m all alone so that makes me a visionary” when in fact you’re a he pathetically left behind. 
    Cool story bro! Whenever you have nothing left just call them MAGA. Thanks for explaining what I am, I’ll be sure to tell my therapist.
    why not? my observation has been you state with authority what the rest of us are. unable to receive what you give?

    No, please stay, Brian. If dialogue is shut down because it's drowned out by trolls and sh!tposting, well, what if that's the goal?? [Or, you could join the pro-democracy crown at The Bulwark; we've built a great community there!]
    Sounds like a wonderful “safe space”. Bran would be welcomed with open arms and a pink princess parade!
    Something I’ve never understood; this unmitigated hatred towards all liberals/the left. The left was at fitst confused by cult 45 (later figuring out the reason), but there’s no singular generalized hatred towards republicans/conservatives as a whole that comes anywhere close to the same. Show us on the chart where liberals hurt you snowflakes so badly to generate such irrational hatred. 
    To the people in the middle it’s very obvious. There’s 30% far left, there’s 30% far right. They all think they are 100% correct about everything. They are the same. 

    One thing in common for them is Trump. He controls every aspect of their days and lives. Just go look at these threads! How much time do these people have on their hands? Find a hobby! Whether they love or hate Trump, in every topic they find a way to blame him or herald him as a God. It’s sickness. And they all deny it. 

    You can’t discuss a policy or event about Biden or Harris here without 4-5 radicals jumping in about what Trump did or would or wouldn’t do. Likewise you can’t talk to a far right Republican without them somehow interjecting how Trump is the savior of our country. 

    It’s all entertainment for me. If people are using the ignore (which I guarantee they are not) because they can’t handle a differing opinion then hats off to
    me.

    Harris Erases Trump’s Lead, WSJ Poll Finds

    The presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is essentially tied, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll that shows heightened support for her among nonwhite voters and dramatically increased enthusiasm about the campaign among Democrats.

    The former president leads the current vice president 49% to 47% in a two-person matchup, but that is within the margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. Trump held a six-point lead earlier this month over President Biden before he exited the race and backed Harris.

    On a ballot test that included Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other independent and third-party candidates, Harris receives 45% and Trump gets 44%. Kennedy is backed by just 4% and 5% remain undecided. Biden trailed in the multicandidate contest by six points in the last poll.

    Harris has made strides in reassembling the coalition that put Biden in the White House in 2020, one that had been fraying under the stress of unease about his physical and mental sharpness. Black, Latino and young voters all showed greater support for her than they did for Biden in a Journal survey taken in the days after his disastrous debate performance on June 27.

     47%2022'23'24TrumpBiden/Harris40455055%

    A reshuffling of the demographic mix of Democratic support could alter the states where Harris might be competitive against Trump, a Republican running for a third time. Greater backing among nonwhite voters could help her in the more racially and ethnically diverse battleground states—Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and North Carolina—where Biden was struggling.

    Harris is supported by 63% of nonwhite voters in the two-way race, up from the 51% Biden had in the last WSJ poll. While an improvement for Harris, her support is still below the 73% of nonwhite voters who, according to exit polls, backed Biden in 2020 when he narrowly won the White House.

    MORE ON THE WALL STREET JOURNAL POLL

    The vice president is drawing a larger share of young voters, those under age 30, than Biden was earlier this month. But she still has less support among them than he did in his narrow 2020 victory.

    Harris has also created a burst of enthusiasm within her party. Roughly four out of five voters in each party now say they are enthusiastic about their chosen candidate, reversing a lopsided deficit earlier this month among Democrats.

    “Only 37% of Biden voters were enthusiastic about him in early July and now 81% of Harris voters are enthusiastic about her,” said Democratic pollster Mike Bocian, who conducted the survey with Republican pollster David Lee. “This is an astounding change.”

    Harris also has the support of more Democrats than Biden had earlier this month, a key development because a candidate’s first job is to unify his or her party. Harris has support from 92% of voters who said they backed Biden in 2020, while the president had just been holding on to 84% of those voters in the earlier survey

    Lee, the GOP pollster, said Harris and her party should be careful to not feel overly optimistic.

    “While Democrats and many in the media will tout these tightened ballot numbers as a change in the race, let’s not forget that at this time in July 2020 The Wall Street Journal national polling had Biden leading Trump by 9 points and had Biden leading Trump in August by 11 points,” he said. “Donald Trump is in a far better position in this election when compared to a similar time in the 2020 election.”

    Lee also pointed to the approval of Trump’s job performance as president in this survey, the highest recorded so far this election cycle in the poll. “A majority of voters—51%—approve of the job Trump did as president, while a majority of voters—50%—disapprove of the job Kamala Harris is doing as vice president.

    A race that is essentially tied nationally means Trump would still likely have the Electoral College advantage, given the way the country’s population is dispersed. In 2016, Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by nearly 3 million votes, but won more than 300 out of 538 Electoral College votes.

    Ohio Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s newly selected vice presidential running mate, is viewed favorably by 42% and unfavorably by 44%.

    Both the Harris and Trump campaigns are racing to more fully define the vice president to the public. The poll shows she is viewed favorably by 46% and unfavorably by 52%, which is her most positive showing in the poll this election cycle.

    Harris faces significant headwinds. Her tenure as vice president is closely tied to a Biden administration record that includes a chaotic southern border, rising prices and protracted wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.

    SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

    What is most meaningful to you from the poll results? Join the conversation below.

    The poll shows Trump is viewed as more able than Harris to handle immigration, the economy, foreign relations and crime, while Harris is given the edge—51% to 33%—on dealing with abortion. Trump and Harris are rated nearly evenly on a question that tested who best “cares about people like you.”

    The poll found 48% think Trump, 78, is too old to be president, while just 2% say that of the 59-year-old Harris. Close to half—46%—said Harris has the right temperament to be president. Just 38% said that of Trump.

    The survey showed voters are still learning about many of the potential vice presidential running mates that Harris is believed to be considering. She will likely need to pick someone by Aug. 7 to meet the deadline for a virtual nomination procedure her party has established.

    Of some potential candidates tested, Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, a former Navy fighter pilot and astronaut has the best ratings: 31% favorable and 19% unfavorable among voters overall.

    The Wall Street Journal poll interviewed 1,000 registered voters July 23-25 and was conducted by Bocian of the firm GBAO and Lee of Fabrizio Lee. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points for the full sample.

    And the 30% on the far left are not the same-same as the 30% on the far right. Not even close. Not even remotely so. Not even in the same universe. Just so you know.
    Also, the obvious point that there is an ongoing choice between the two means it is difficult to discuss one without looking at the contrasting position.

    I mean, I read that 30% of the people who say they are the middle are the far right in disguise.
    🥸 
    It seems that way because you can’t tolerate any difference of your beliefs and opinion. Your defense mechanism is to accuse someone of being MAGA/far right, if they differ from you. That’s perfectly fine. 

    There’s a thread of “Friends/Family who are Trump Supporters”. There’s people who have stated they won’t talk or associate and lost friendships because of a political view. Why? Blows my mind that someone couldn’t handle it. But that’s what happens when Trump controls your life as a liberal I guess.
    LOL... I've told the story about my maga brother in law stating "Obama wouldn't have won except for the ni**ers". Not someone I care to associate with.
