Interesting info on how big a scum Biden is, and why maybe Trump may win again.
If they don't dump Biden, Trump will ROAST HIS ASS and win. Again.
Are they THAT STUPID to push him forward?

Yes, we've heard of him. We've heard of AOC too. Is the party paying for the polls? Cause among everybody I know that doesn't have their head completely up the DNC's ass, Biden never comes up.
Now once we get closer to the convention next year, I'll see people rationalize why as leftists they should support Biden, just like they did when they jumped ship from Bernie to Hillary in 2016.
But that is still far away. Biden is currently the anointed one, but the tables could still turn if his touching or his late son's interests in the Ukraine become significant.

You aren't keeping mind how these polls are conducted. First, they poll the random people who answer calls to their (usually landline) phones from numbers they don't know and have the time to sit there and fill out said survey for $5, if anything is offered at all. Second, they will also ask questions like this: "I’m going to read a list of possible candidates for the Democratic nomination for President in 2020. As you hear each name on the list, please tell me, on a scale of one to five, that candidates chances of beating the Republican candidate if the 2020 Presidential Election were being held today? [list of names]"
Both of those factors together work in Biden's favor due to their resulting sample and the way the question is phrased. Not to mention, the counfounders like ordering of candidates, choice fatigue, subject fatigue, and more. And that is before you get into things like push polling, unblinding and other manipulations.
But speaking of poll questions, my all time favorite poll question is “Who is the candidate you’d rather grab a beer with?” That was used for multiple elections to try to get at likability between candidates, until G.W.B. started winning that poll question with huge margin. Even a majority of Democrats were choosing him over Gore. So the Democratic operatives famously started to make fun of the question to downplay what it is really showing (while dismissing how they themselves used it for years).

You've only heard of AOC if you pay way too much fucking attention to politics and not enough to the people in your life that actually matter. Or if you have a roomie who can't pry himself away from political podcasts.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

On par with the post it was replying to, and more useful than your whining. I WIN THE INTERNET!

It was a single one-off post that was clearly mocking another post. That isn't exactly "spam."

Such a horrible waste! Unless he's out ice fishing or something. Tell him he would be much better off listening to the pope read the Liturgy, in Latin (if today's popes still know Latin).

I've tried my best but he even listens to stoned dumbass Joe Rogan (nice guy but, yes, he's usually stoned and usually a dumbass) when he runs out of intelligent talking heads to listen to. I've taken to just putting headphones in and listening to music on road trips to keep from trying to choke the driver while moving.
