• Best President Ever

    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Tuesday, April 16, 2024 07:49:20
    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 ...

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

    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.

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

    From the article you linked:

    HEADLINE:
    Biden Begins Term With 57% Job Approval.

    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.


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

    Well, 8.5 million people were Nazis in 1945.

    Over 1.6 billion (with a "b") people are Socialists right now.

    If 74 million people can't be wrong then.... um, are you sure you want to stick by that statement?

    Hello Björn,

    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.
