    Democracy is when the government does the exact opposite of the will of the people and you have to vote because this is the most important election of our lives.

        I was thinking about how "the ends don't justify the means" gets thrown around as obvious wisdom, but to the dems their fake democracy is an end unto itself and any means are justified. And not even democracy in the sense of the will of the people being enacted, but their electoral system and it's trappings.

      You don’t. If you asked 100 people if they wanted you to hit them in the head with a hammer, 97 would say no, a couple would get confused and say yes, and at least one of them would get horny and ask what kind of hammer. 100% support/opposition to something is mind-boggling.

      Or even a 93%

      AND the 0% for strongly approve

      The establishment reaction to overwhelming democratic consensus on this issue is indefensible. It's not something you can wait out like an economy, it's gonna weigh heavy on a whole generation

        This is exactly why even Kamala Harris is doing her half-assed distancing maneuvers. Leaking that it's "Joe's war"

        She wants to be the president (my first reaction to that is to laugh but uh, our president is Biden right now so I wouldn't count her out unfortunately) and she fully understands that:

        • Joe Biden is the absolute high point for Israel support in the Democratic party
        • Liberal media will forgive her relative silence because a VP being loyal to the President is paramount in their minds
        • She nonetheless desperately needs to disassociate herself from this, and is hoping to make up for this liability by doing some kind of last-minute bandwagon jumping onto pro-palestinian rhetoric and possibly actions depending on where this all takes us.
        • She can claim to have worked on the inside to temper the bloodthirstiness, as if we hadn't heard that before

        It should stick to her though. We need to make this stick to her.

      I don't think I've ever seen 100% on a poll of any significant size, ever.

      You won't get 100% on "does gravity exist?" or "are you breathing air right now?"

      Critical support to the funniest election outcome. Trump wins but a bunch of based people get voted into congress so dems have the embarassment of losing to Trump twice but progressives stop all the project 2025 shit and prove to dems once and for all that they should stop trying to avoid courting progressives.

      Stop laughing, I can dream, can't I?

    Data was collected from March 23-25, 2024. The sample consisted of n=322 registered Wisconsin voters who had voted in at least one primary since 2016, with a margin of error of +/- 5.0%. Within the sample, we included all those who said they would vote in the Democratic primary (n=258) and undecided voters (n=64). Data was collected via SMS-to-web. Results were weighted by age based on census data, previous polling, and exit polling.

    just under half of democrats in the state strongly or even somewhat approve of Bidens handling of the war.

    65 percent said they strongly disapprove

    0 percent strongly approved

      Yeah apparently the margin of error is only 5% so even if it's not 100% it's still incredibly close. I'm sure there's one weird ass out there

    honestly a difference of this size, among people of the same party, can't be explained by anything other than these two groups having two completely different sources of information

    now we get why america is starting to think about getting rid of any social media that is harder to build a consensus with, they're simply not able to manage them as easily as traditional news sources

    i'm pretty sure america is gonna build its own "great firewall" in the next years, brick by brick

      Last I heard it was at 8 or 9 percent. Not quite as good as Michigan but still a fantastic result. Another swing state looming over him. Even before tonight I have heard confident claims that they are panicking over uncommitted/etc. It's the only thing affecting this outcome, however slowly

      The "just under half" includes all ages (I clicked through to the poll from the article):

      Respondents are very divided on Biden’s handling of the war, with just 49% saying they strongly or somewhat approve of the job he is doing in the area. 41% of respondents somewhat or strongly disapprove of Biden’s handling of the war, and 10% are undecided. This is starkly polarized by age: no respondents under 29 say that they strongly approve of Biden’s handling of the war, and 65% strongly disagree with it. Compare this to respondents 50-64 years old, who tend to side with Biden (59% are strongly or somewhat supportive of his actions) while just 7% strongly disapprove of his actions.

      35% for just young people, just under half if you include everyone.
