The other half pretends that the stupid half won’t kill them
So stupid beyond belief, but in a different way
We'll just shut down Fox News and conservative talk radio. Their brain worms will die of starvation in two months tops - no way they can sustain independent thought any longer than that.
All of these things are so important in a world thats burning and people cant make rent.
Like holy shit this poll was made by a child as a joke, right?
I get Republicans are dumb as shit, but who the fuck votes for someone because it's going to piss off someone they don't like? That's not even a political opinion, you're just an asshole
I think it's more valid than the other reasons. It's more honest too.
Chuds voting because they like Trump's record or dems voting because they think Biden is progressive are delusional.
Voting for Trump because it pisses off people is factually correct and probably gets them satisfaction even if it's dumb.
Bourgeois democracy working as intended!
I think #4 on this list was #1 in 2016, not sure if there would have been such an explicit poll back then
That's really the only reason that actually matters anyways. The rest is just post-hoc rationalization.
because a lot of people understand implicitly that bourgeois electoralism doesn't actually do shit, or at the very least that its never going to help them (the working class) in any major way. its two neoliberal parties and people know that whether they could articulate it or not. so when faced with a choice between neoliberalism or neoliberalism that will piss off people that annoy you, why not get some satisfaction out of it?
lmao American politics is literally a joke. our reactionaries don't even know what they want except guns, and our liberals aren't much better.
Conservatives: "I want infinite cheap consumer products and to own the liberals." :frothingfash:
Liberals: "I want infinite prestigious consumer products and to own the conservatives." :maybe-later-honey:
Best I can do for you is :pete: and performative representation in your entertainment. :capitalist-woke:
Guess democrats cant do better huh. 2 Tickets for Captain Marvel please :sadness:
| Favors Christians over other religious groups | 44% | 56% |
genuinely surprised
I think this is a Anakin Padame meme situation where it turns out a sizable portion of them have moved on to :jordan-eboy-peterson: type cultural Christianity or full blown esoteric nazi pagan shit
You can't really make any insights from these polls. Honestly, you can't really make many insights from American people's politics... Personally I think if the media blasted the Christian persecution complex instead of the woke moralism meme, the polling for the two things would just be swapped. :brainworms:
Based on polls, a lot of people (at least american ones) have madly contradictory politics imo, depending on the wording of the polls.
almost all of this is just saying words, not doing anything. so fucking special. they act like they arent liberals but theyre doing their own little 'i see you, i hear you'
how many of them can even define what "woke ideas" are aside from like gender or something?
I'm just gonna put all the fascism aside for a second to go off on something random and ask: How the fuck does Chris Christie keep getting included in these things?
I stg he's appeared on every poll in the last decade and I'd be shocked if he's ever polled above 5%. Is he like, in the Illuminati or something? Is he related to the guy in charge of all the polls? Is this a massive bit and all the pollsters are getting together and laughing their asses off about it? Does every one of his supporters have a job as a journalist? Is it some kind of liberal cope? How many more election seasons is this going to last?
Regarding the rest of the poll, death to America, of course :amerikkka:
he was the wonk pick once like 8 years ago and he's been coasting since.
Not only did nobody bite the first time, but things have changed in the past 8 years in ways that make him even more completely irrelevant and nonviable.
Someday I'm going to wake up from this coma and I'll look over at the doctor and see Chris Christie and I will finally understand both why he keeps popping up and why everyone is screaming "Woke" at me.
Guess who has a well-funded anti-woke Marxist org in their area :doomjak:
Favors Christians over other religious groups 44 yes 56 no
what the fuck is wrong with these people. every other question they're creaming for christofascists but when they actually get asked they're like :what:
own your fucking bloodlust you goddamn fucking cowards.
| He fights for people like me | 94% | 6% |
jesus... how fucking grim. This is what destroying proletarian class politics does to a population.
