• Best President Ever

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Fri Feb 12 15:44:26 2021
    Hello Everybody,

    Donald J. Trump ran for office in 2016 with the campaign
    slogan "Make America Great Again" - and it truly was his one
    and only accomplishment, as shown by the most recent Gallup
    Poll. That's right. The Best President Ever is President Joe
    Biden, who has an approval rating of 98%. And that is not
    just among Democrats.

    Not really sure what happened to Trump's so-called "base".
    Maybe they just disappeared into thin air? Or could be just
    hiding under their beds, having nowhere else to go ...

    Pardon my French, but ce sont des conneries! I went through the links on the page you linked, and found the following:

    * "No, that's not a typo. It's also not a fluke." The "not a fluke" links to Scott Rasmussen's page showing a 60% job approval rating, not 98%. (https://scottrasmussen.com/biden-job-approval-60/). Further down the page, "...Democratic voters at a staggerin 98 percent." This link actually goes to Gallup's website (https://news.gallup.com/poll/329348/biden-begins-term-job-approval.aspx) and shows a 57% approval rating.

    Maybe this is how Conservatives get their news, but the facts are right underneath it.

    Not really sure what happened to Trump's so-called "base".

    Hiding under their beds.

    The sad fact is, that those approval ratings never have a 0-100% span. Approximately 50% of the US voters cannot think for themselves, they vote the same every single time no matter what has happened.

    So in reality maybe the span, at best, will be 25-75% (don't quote me on that number). This means that e.g. 68% is really high, just as 38% is extremely low.

    The same goes for e.g. a POTUS election, the difference between a donkey and an elephant is always much closer than you would expect in a country where people have received a good education, which includes learning all there is to know about critical thinking.

    74 million people can't be wrong, Trump is a stable genius.

    I find it exhausting to read messages from people who think Trump won the election, that he was an excellent president, that Biden should be impeached because he helped his son prosper with Ukraine, etc., etc. These people call me a "leftie" or a communist, but the fact remains that I consider myself a Democratic Socialist.

    74 million people can't be wrong, Trump is a stable genius.

    LOL ... Good one.

    Hello Bj”rn,

    underneath it.

    Americans have the attention span of a gnat. So approval ratings do not
    really matter.

    The same goes for e.g. a POTUS election, the difference between a donkey and
    an elephant is always much closer than you would expect in a country where people have received a good education, which includes learning all there is
    to know about critical thinking.

    At least one party has a real animal (donkey) rather than a fake
    (elephant). Why nobody thought about pachyderms is beyond me.

    74 million people can't be wrong, Trump is a stable genius.

    Disney has a flying elephant who never needs refueling.

    Ok, no. Do not do this. This is not right.

    My sincerest apologies. I'll try again, giving you both the
    best and the worst - at the same time, and by the same link.
    That way, I will be fully covered being right and wrong at
    the same time -

    https://www.mediaite.com/news/jaw-dropping-poll-finds-trump-worst -president-ever-but-best-among-republicans-tripling-abraham-lincoln/


    From the article you linked:

    HEADLINE:
    Biden Begins Term With 57% Job Approval.

    Headlines are written by editors, not by those who write the articles.

    From the body:
    Biden receives near unanimous approval from his fellow Democrats, at 98%, and a solid 61% approval rating among political independents. But Republicans are unlikely to approve of Biden, with 11% doing so while 85% disapprove.

    See there? 98% approval. That is near unanimous approval.
    The only ones disagreeing doing so by mistake. Which is exactly
    what the original blogger claimed when noting the url.

    .. That's just incredible! As in... it's just not credible.

    Everything I write is incredible, as incredulous as that may be.
