The Israeli-Hamas war is clouding these polls.
This poll is clearly bullshit. It’s making it look like the genocide that we are currently participating in, is causing people to forget about Biden’s infrastructure bill!

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Material reality is clouding my idealistic worldview and it's all you tankies faults 
Israeli-Hamas war
My eye twitches whenever I read this phrase. It was obviously workshopped in some boardroom somewhere to obscure the fact that Israel is carrying out a genocide of the entire Palestinian people.
"Israeli pogrom against Palestinians" is way more accurate than "Israel-Hamas War"
Genocide Joe's US-taxpayer-funded child-murder-palooza
Agreed. Calling it a war in any sense is already a reframing of reality. Calling it Israeli-Hamas War is an even more cynical twisting.
When they call it the "war in Gaza" I get bothered too. Even when the media uses the word genocide, they usually lead with "alleged" like all these people aren't really dead and starving.
His infrastructure bill of busting strikes that are demanding better safety protocols right before a massive infrastructure disaster because of lack of safety protocols.
Not even sure which massive infrastructure disaster because of lack of safety protocols you're referring to
Would imagine at least one is the rail strike he broke, and then a couple months later the derailment in Palestine, Ohio.
Biden hates all Palestines

Is there a way to view twitter threads without a twitter account or is that entire concept just gone these days?
I have a fuggin' twitter account and I can't even view them. I can view one tweet. The comments don't load. Refreshing or attempting to visit another page of a different tweet will break Twitter and then I can't even view the ONE it let me look at it until hours later. Sometimes I can get one thread or comment chain to load by viewing it in incognito mode, but any subsequent viewings will brick the site for me. Elon has broken one of the most popular sites in ways I can't even fathom
Thanks! This does work
No problem! Just use that URL instead of Twitter and paste the extra bits if you want to read the thread.
Flag next to name checks out.
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
How... poetic.
And blue check, lmao
BWAHAHAHAHA
Even taking into account the skewing that happens with these polls because who the fuck under 35 picks up a phone call from a number they don’t recognize, my god Biden is going to be destroyed in November. Like, forget the bizarro lose popular vote/win the electoral college path, Trump is going to win the popular vote too.
I know we bang on and on about how 2016 never ended but this is literally the exact same mistake they made in 2016.
They insisted any polling that showed it was a close race was bullshit, had 5000 word reddit comments saved about how polling favors older more conservative people, and kept reassuring each other this shit was locked up.
Riiiiiigggghhhhtt until they lost to trump.
It really is wild how much liberals love enthusiastically jumping on the exact same take in the exact same way over and over again.
polling favors older more conservative people
If we accept this as true wouldn't that be even more damning since young people are by and large opposed to the genocide?? Like, if it's polling older people Biden should have an enormous advantage but even here he's getting rinsed
Well you have to consider that liberals think their position of "those spoiled brats should stfu because they're making Biden look bad" is the farthest left position possible. Because they hold it and they're committed Progressives^Tm^
I don't understand how they don't put together "young people don't vote" and "polling skews old and conservative".
Does the Biden campaign need to do better at reaching out to voters under 35, even if it means abandoning unpopular policies?
No, it's the polls that are wrong.
liberal denial in a poll about politics
Isn't that just every poll now?
nuh uh
