So this is a viewer response poll which, regardless of who sets it up, always show heavy towards the bias of the"polster". The daily mail is to the right of Fox so one would expect that the pool would show favorably for Trump. That it could only muster 53% approval is hilariously bad.
Meh, everyone I know in the real world seems to like him. Lemmy isn’t a great snapshot of the real world. Which is why you all were so shocked and shook that Trump won. Sometimes ya just gotta look around.
Which is kind of the problem, right? Of ~244.5M eligible voters, only ~59% or 156.3M actually cast a ballot. And of that, only ~77.3M voted for Trump. The man won the presidency with less than 32% of eligible voters. FPTP elections and the electoral college are leading us to worse and worse candidates.
Both candidates earned around the same number of votes, and both were pitiful. So to that extent, I agree? But the malfeasance wouldn’t have been so rampant and on display with any candidate other than Trump.
Presuming you’re actually an American citizen, we’ve both lost because of this setup. While the current government may be making some strides on things conservative constituents actually care about, I don’t think most of what’s happening right now is helping anyone but those in power. Being glib may make you feel better that you’re on the “winning team”, but it’s the people who voted for him who are statistically more likely to suffer the impacts of this disastrous administration.
Nebraska will be bankrupt, and soon so too will all of the rural and agricultural states in the country’s interior. I’m sorry that they’ve all been conned into believing that this group of despots will help them.

And yet the democratic party was so weak, they couldn’t win. Trump has always been like this. So it’s not a surprise. But the Dem party has been shitting the bed lately. And if they don’t change their attitudes, they’ll lose next election too.

I am. But I haven’t lost. The democratic party (and Lemmy) has become so out of touch with the average american, that they needed their ass handed to them. Democrats and Lemmy are getting what they deserve for making fun of republicans, ignoring working class concerns, making fun of rural americans and middle america, not taking them seriously.
And it’s all gonna happen again if the attitude doesn’t change. I’m personally happy to see you all burn down your own shit because you were too egotistical to listen to differing opinions.
I personally have been bullied on Lemmy just because I post news articles about conservatives–many articles from AP News even. I don’t call people names, I don’t advocate violence, I abhor nazis and fascists. Yet Lemmy has done all of those things to me. I was banned from one instance on my name alone before I even posted anything there.
Lemmy had guaranteed that I will never ever vote democrat ever again. I have seen more hate and spite on here than I have seen any republicans do.
So Lemmy and Democrats are getting what they deserve and I’m sitting back laughing at it. And it’s gonna happen again in 4 years unless ya’ll change your attitudes.

Your real world must be pretty small.
Small enough to win the presidency I guess. How’d your side do in the election?

Hmmm, guess ya all should have made a better impression on those that didn’t vote then. Because the majority of those who did vote, voted for Trump.
Using your numbers, your candidate and party was so bad, that they let someone who only had 32% of eligible voters, win the freakin’ presidency! LMAO
