It would give that impression. Which is why I'm creating this poll outside the political forum. Get people to vote and get a sense of the broader neowin base.

ThaCrip Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Anyone who has a shred of common sense (so far only 23% (7/30) of those who took the poll have it) can see what's going on who's not brainwashed by the corrupt media knows the ONLY choice is... The Great MAGA King (i.e. Donald J Trump) he's the obvious sane choice in a insane world as when he's in power the world was stable and the USA prospers. when Crooked Joe and the godless left is in power, everything burns. like the bible basically says, 'by their fruits you shall know them'. by that standard (as Christianity is ALWAYS a safe bet to measure stuff by since the USA has revolved around those standard for a long time which the left now basically hates as they have embraced the culture of death) Trump is FAR superior to anyone on the left who just wants to see the USA/world burn as is obvious with inflation/open borders/wars/trans insanity etc (pretty much everything they do destroys instead of builds-up where it really matters). I always use a very simple example to show you how insane the left has become... when people think it's okay for biological males to compete in female sports that's a failure of basic reason at a fundamental level and these types inevitably will side with the bad guys long term. it's just the way things are. like Dan Bongino says, it's all about snapshots and sound bytes and this picture should pretty much seal the Nov 2024 election... Thank God (i.e. The Holy Trinity (Father/Son(Jesus Christ/Holy Spirit)) for saving Donald J Trump!!! ; real Americans (at least those with a functioning brain) KNOW he's the good guy and those opposing him are those of reprobate mind. +virtorio, SecretAgentMan, +Raze and 11 others 2 4 2 5 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samw61 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) One of the things that is clear to so many people (well, maybe outside of the US), is that neither of these people are fit for office, and that the political rhetoric in the United States is anything but united, and frankly extreme from both sides. A two-party system is flawed at best, and while I'm not entirely sure how the US political system is structured, it doesn't seem to allow a broader set of ideas or conventions to boost the country. The flaws for Trump are clear. He only accepts others that agree with him (an echo chamber of ideas, akin to this poll/website 😉), not allowing other ideas or views to his own (vice president candidate as a mini-Trump is the latest worrying trend in that regard). While he is amazing at convincing people that his direction is the way to go, the way he goes about it is defined in every dictionary as misleading. If you splatter small truths in amongst a premise that is false, it doesn't make the whole thing true. I suspect Trump is aware of this as he is clearly switched on, though he has realised and is taking advantage of this psychological process that has helped him increase his voting base substantially. Biden is a bit more complex. He clearly has led relatively well these past few years, despite the global and local issues that have come up. But there have been those gaffs too (though arguably Trumps were worse and more dangerous - injecting disinfectant or exposing intense light, looking directly at the sun). He is OLD (also with Trump being not far off, it doesn't really make sense to claim this for just Biden). In Aus, we had a PM who is just 3 years older than Biden, and we kicked him out of office in 2007 because we thought he was too old then, and disconnected from the country's needs. They may have life experience to varying degrees, but the system is clearly so skewed with such a focus on POTUS (nearly God/villain perspective) that something has to give. I imagine an implosion of this country, akin to Handmaids Tale or Hunger Games in the next 40 years if this polarization keeps going. Good luck, and stay safe.

Dick Montage Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 (edited) On 19/07/2024 at 03:30, samw61 said: But there have been those gaffs too Agreed. It is more nuanced with Biden... Firstly, we all know that he struggles with public speaking due to him constantly fighting his stutter. Secondly, his advancing years are never going to help. Do those gaffs impede his direct ability to perform his duties? No. But, do they undermine his public image, his ability to be seen as a competent leader? To some, I would say yes - and that's valid. We all mess up, but we aren't all the President of the United States of America, and it's not necessarily fair, but it's honest that we maybe need the person holding that role to be able to communicate well without such gaffs. I, myself, facepalm when he does this. And I have been known to chuckle at memes around the situation. However, let's speak plainly here - those who use this as a means to somehow negatively compare him to Trump, they are disingenuous in their actions as they allow their cult leader to transgress in much more damaging ways without rebuke. All that aside - of the two, Biden is astoundingly obviously the better leader, President, human - and so if given the choice of the two, the answer should be obvious. Anyone who voted for Trump in the first election, OK - you could claim ignorance; I don't buy it because I personally feel that you should be educated before making such choices, but I don't run the election and my opinion is just that. However now? He has shown many times to not give a damn about the United States of America, it's citizens, it's laws, it's global standing, and yet here we are, people still worshiping his cult because they have doubled-down on whatever motivated them originally.
