what happened to his neck? was he trying sudoku after election?	Yes	1
most of us are trump voters. you speak from the minority.	Yes	1
if you live there you get a vote just like everyone else. vote them out. democracy is still democracy even if you don't like the results.	Yes	1
gun owners who vote for the dems are like fudds, but worse. though conservatism vs liberalism doesn't trouble me at all, since i'm a single-issue voter. none of this partisanism affects me. whoever doesn't promise a gun ban automatically gets my vote.	Yes	1
wrong. the youth did not show up to vote when it mattered.	Yes	1
if biden is president, hickenlooper will vote with his agenda. gardner will oppose it.	Yes	1
well, sometimes they are the majority of voters.	Yes	1
i voted for him.	Yes	1
the veto still exists in most of the important areas.	No	0
is there another candidate running against her on the democrat ballot? or is she still a ways from the next election?	Yes	1
while the show's production team released a statement denying the allegations immediately after controversy over the finale results arose, they soon admitted that there was a possibility that there was a problem with the amount of votes cast during the finale.	No	0
i just wanna say that i was a republican for much of my adult life. hhell, still am a registered republican. didn’t even vote for obama (though i was proud of him as a president). but these people in the republican party now are such liars and bigots. please remember that i come from a place where jeff flake and john mccain are from. trump has killed whatever was good in the party and exposed what weak people remain in it—those who serve him instead of their constituents. i must heartily damn this two- party system which forces me to choose red or blue only. i prefer a different color. for the time being, though, i am a solid blue voter, because red is currently the color of evil. (and just in case you wanted to know, this republican voted for hillary! ) i am conservative but anti bigot, pro- immigration, pro- tolerance, pro- peace and fucking clear that climate change is real and that fossil fuels can not be propped up any more....	Yes	1
i went from voting for him on st 2016 to despising him by summertime 2016.	Yes	1
i just would rather not waste a vote tbh, better red then tory.	Yes	1
as a candidate one can save time.	No	0
vote labour unless you're in a tory lib dem marginal.	Yes	1
claiming the election was stolen.	Yes	1
even if this poll is an outlier, it absolutely destroys the narrative that biden is the runaway favorite to win. i honestly have considered him our biggest threat, so that in itself is a win.	Yes	1
same guy that complains the election was stolen.	Yes	1
he got a ton of real votes in the primaries. there are a lot of people who genuinely think him better than the other alternatives, but they’re not widely represented on reddit.	Yes	1
i may sound petulant but when the government tells us people that the referendum will be acted upon and it isnt because they cant do their jobs or prepare properly that's what happens.	Yes	1
then you're part of the problem. wake the fuck up. i voted independent last time, and i don't like biden, but i'm giving him my vote solely because of trump. then we end the gop corruption and in 4 years we force better candidates and breaking up the two party system.	Yes	1
at the end of the day, it boils down to: should you have to pay the state government/courts before you get the right to vote. the 11th circuit said no.	Yes	1
i voted for him.	Yes	1
but that's said about every politician no matter how moderate or not. if biden's elected, i would bet anything that we'd still see that argument in 2024. changenothing. at least we can progress toward something good. and trump definitely isn't making mexico pay for the wall, hasn't ended sanctuary cities, and hillary clinton is nowhere near a prison. yet most of his base still loves him, and most political pundits are still worried that he'll win re-election despite so little support beyond his own party.	Yes	1
he's got my vote.	No	0
how on earth are they a trump fan? they very clearly stand against both trump and biden, and all neoliberal figureheads. everything they pointed out about biden is true. if you truly cared about people, about justice, then you'd realise and accept that true liberation lies beyond electoral politics and that biden is an obstacle.	Yes	1
you misinterpret me criticizing biden and the capitalist system as "me saying your vote doesn't matter". if biden loses because he ran on his character and being not-trump, rather than actually going into his specific policy proposals, don't blame me, because i voted for biden.	Yes	1
it depends on who you consider the public. have you asked any biden fans how they feel about the debate? because right now biden is ahead in the polls by a lot (+15.6 over sanders) and i would guess that his supporters think he won the debate pretty handily.	Yes	1
no, but i guarandamntee that trump won't if he's reelected.	Yes	1
why would someone down vote this?	No	0
but in at least one “electability” metric, biden is lagging behind his democratic competition. in the 206 counties that voted for barack obama twice before backing trump in 2016, the former vp has fewer donors than three primary opponents.	Yes	1
yes everyone bad so therefore vote trump eh?	Yes	1
his own daughter, caroline, speaks out against him regularly and is voting for biden.	Yes	1
no. it does not help biden. neocons are generally hated on the right too, people who vote for them are ones who vote r no matter what.	Yes	1
the point is people like this can vote and do vote.	Yes	1
gerrymandering, good point. i forget how fucked voting districts borders can be.	Yes	1
ay leave my veto alone.	No	0
poll it then?	No	0
he'll win if we vote for him.	Yes	1
biden is in the process of breaking many of the promises that got him elected.	Yes	1
@dbongino why would any firefighter of service vote for him? @realdonaldtrump is the way to go.	Yes	1
gerrymandering, good point. i forget how fucked voting districts borders can be.	Yes	1
well considering 99 is the highest possible and is therefore a goat candidate, he should be torching the shit out of people.	Yes	1
that was well said. the are so many things that have gotten to me. lately it's been this idea that only n95's are the only masks that work. although they may be the best, any covering is better than nothing. the world is slowly backing away from trying. i don't want to express hatred, but holding it in is not good either. i've been trying to back away from making cruel comments, but at the end of each day, i know that most naysayers will not learn, and a lot more people are going to get sick and die because of right wing politics. i voted republican my whole life and voted trump into office. all of this shit, the hatred, lying, the selfishness of the party has driven me far left of them. dump lying about the election, his shitty job on fighting the virus etc. they have made a mockery of christianity and democracy. i have become a deist. it has finally become political for me. their war against knowledge, science and reality is insane. the only thing stopping me from opening the floodgate of my opinion is the hca and reddit rules. i will say this in a way that preserves my membership here. if any person hates our democracy, our diverse people, and the general advancement of science, health and freedom, i feel that natural selection (evolution) will take it's course. i don't have to do or say anything, but get popcorn and watch. i will throw in smartass comments as i watch them lose their breath. i will watch their prayer warriors fail. these people may cause the extinction of humanity, but it is nice to see them go before we do. the rest of the creatures on this planet will benefit from that. i will wear my mask, get boosters, and social distance until the virus kills all of us, or science has a breakthrough. i have done something to fight the pandemic. i am the real patriot. lol. i am a liberal. they politicized it, and i have taken my side in this fiasco on mankind.	Yes	1
well, sometimes they are the majority of voters.	Yes	1
even if this poll is an outlier, it absolutely destroys the narrative that biden is the runaway favorite to win. i honestly have considered him our biggest threat, so that in itself is a win.	Yes	1
and well, england/wales decided to vote for brexit despite knowing it would likely destabilise the uk just 2 years after scots were told vote no to stay in the eu.	Yes	1
except that trump has been railing against certain types of voting, which seems like a clear message to republicans not to vote that way. so maybe 100% for biden?	Yes	1
i warned as many people as possible not to vote for him, but i live in a conservative state. i'm pissed he's doing this, knowing full well how much medical cannabis has helped my mom. what an evil prick.	Yes	1
of course people do that with biden. and other politicians. and celebrities. but 81% of voters who claimed to be evangelical voted for trump, something that is directly applicable to this sub and conversation. when 81% turn out to support biden then we can have that conversation.	Yes	1
i feel like yang is just trying to get exposure to ubi. the worse he can do now is just frustrate those who are already voting for him anyways. so why not try to get new voters in the process.	No	0
you misinterpret me criticizing biden and the capitalist system as "me saying your vote doesn't matter". if biden loses because he ran on his character and being not-trump, rather than actually going into his specific policy proposals, don't blame me, because i voted for biden.	Yes	1
its almost like polls thought 3 million more people would vote for the other candidate.	No	0
you have my vote.	No	0
because politicians would have no further need for campaign contributions after they get elected? not sure i follow your reasoning.	Yes	1
since then we’ve switched to ranked choice primaries.	Yes	1
we all knew that biden was the favourite, but polling suggested bernie would be in a closer second.	Yes	1
i think we can all agree that the voting process was just a fun way to engage with our favorite characters and they all brought something special to the show. 9 - 9!!	No	0
eight years later i thought it was a joke when the people at an interactive art exhibit i was attending chose a washed up, doting, old former b-movie actor as winner of the coming presidential race. months later that joke, ronald reagan, won the real presidency and went on to serve eight years in the office. despite lying to the american people about the need to invade grenada, (a country the size of kalamazoo, mi) to "rescue" fewer than one thousand american medical students, and lying about our country's illegal sales of weapons to iran in order to fund revolutionaries in nicaragua, contradicting himself and otherwise devolving into a series of alzheimer's-like "i don't recall" responses to questions from a commission he appointed to look into the affair, he remains one of our most highly regarded presidents.	Yes	1
he's going to be part of the peanut gallery throughout all of biden's presidency. i don't think news networks can help themselves when it comes to reporting his tweets. he's going to tweet every single day and it's going to be headline news on an almost daily basis.	Yes	1
then you're voting against your own interest. he sold everyone's lives, republican or democrat, so he can force states to bid for medical equipment. our slow response to covid was a shameless attempt to monopolize he distribution of medicine during the pandemic so select private companies could profit. our economy is in shambles because trump placed his idiot son-in-law kushner in charge of supplying the government with equipment.	Yes	1
yeah, allowing a couple weeks to vote by mail in all states would be far more beneficial.	Yes	1
it's actually just an article about comments made by a republican presidential nominee. the only people who seem to hold your view are the ones who have only read the title of the post, or people who are confused enough to think that someone has stated a fact here.	Yes	1
i'm in my 30s now and was barely in school during the lewinsky stuff. i've been voting for more than a decade. that's like me still admiring guiliani cuz he made moving speeches post 9/11.	Yes	1
biden and hillary voted to invade afghanistan and iraq tbo.	Yes	1
is it then also silly to claim biden will make it worse? as a single individual, yes. i actually like a lot of what i've heard from him, he seems reasonable and moderate, even if he's made mistakes in the past. the problem is he won't be in power long even if he is elected. and as the representative of his party, it's very much not silly to make that claim. they've been endorsing radical movements like blm and to a lesser degree antifa for years, and supported academic myths like "structural racism" fueling these protests and riots to further their political goals once overt racism ceased to be a real issue.	Yes	1
as it stands, in the u.k. we can’t vote for who we actually want, it’s a wasted vote to choose anyone who doesn’t have a realistic chance of winning their local polls. like many english people not in a major city or former mining district, i live in a safe tory seat. i don’t think anyone but tories have held the seat for about a century. although there are urban areas, farmers (and old people who treat politics like supporting a football team, and vote tory automatically) have a disproportionate sway in the area. no one comes close to beating the tories. my vote counts for nothing. not that i have anyone to vote for.	Yes	1
if you want to vote click the link first .	No	0
i’m not going to waste my vote for a specific party, just because omg the libtards. i’m voting for the person, who i share common values and policies with.	Yes	1
100% right. jimmy carter is often overlooked but i find him to be the sterling example of the cincinnatus from the plow, the noblest of men and was a fine president at a terrible time. and hegot shafted on the iranian hostage who released them only when ronald reagan neocon was installed. jimmy carter had put us on a path of energy conservancy and independence but he was the last breath of the liberal democracy. the neocons had been dreaming of the moment and finally advanced their candidate ronald reagan. and it's amazing how people have amnesia about him. he totally fucking ruined the banking system caused its complete collapse with the deregulation of the savings and loans and destroyed the real estate market coast to coast in the united states which the taxpayers ultimately bailed out. a repeat story of republican boom and bust and people forget it. his greatest achievement however was repealing the fairness doctrine and allowing shortly thereafter the founding offox news by murdochand the propaganda arm to spew bullshit as they want in a fake news format. it was his finest achievement. but people in a specially younger are clueless about the larger arc of politics that plays out for 30 40 50 years and get lost in the noise of the personality of the candidate and the hot button issue in front.	Yes	1
i hope they are all registered to vote.	No	0
not sure a strike directly hurts biden, he has made it clear that he will do what’s in the best interest of the american people, and that is keeping the supply chain moving, getting a better deal for the workers, if not actually the best deal, at the same time. so republican opposition is just par for the course, most a just voting against it as a standard thing.	Yes	1
personally, i would encourage someone to not base their vote on a few supporters of a candidate. i can't imagine death threats and misinformation campaigns are widespread. i'm sure there are some less than pleasant people supporting yang. politics get nasty because it involves deeply held beliefs by many people. the positivity of the yang gang is most certainly a breath of fresh air though, and one big reason i stick around.	No	0
donald trump gets re-elected (or finds a way to illegally stay in power).	Yes	1
yup, yup, yup, this one has got my vote!	No	0
total votes: 25 \\| last updated: 2020-06-08t23:18:42+0000.	No	0
only a vote for trump is a vote for trump.	Yes	1
he shot himself in the face with all the "joe biden is a good man" and "liz warren is a friend" bullshit, and he never went on the attack on issues he actually had the moral high ground on, because he is just too decent and weak. a good progressive candidate would have called joe biden the war criminal and racist he is every day all day. but no, now the world is stuck with you assholes electing between two racist rapist war criminals.	Yes	1
the current president lost the popular vote by million votes, but sure.	Yes	1
democratic policy goals poll in everything from "slight majority" to "heavy majority" in terms of american favorability. the issue is that majority preference does not matter in our elections, election rules that restrict or limit voting or voting power do. it's why the gop has been able to hold on to much more power than would be expected given the broad level of non-support for their policy platform- it's not the messaging, it's the rules of the game.	Yes	1
i was thinking that if people didn’t realize the context they would vote for the opposite who trump “endorsed”.	Yes	1
it was this argument that led to a final, decisive switch. black voters, who had historically been loyal to the republican party because of the 1866 civil rights act, had already been switching to the democratic party. however, upon hearing goldwater’s argument against the 1964 civil rights act, the majority of black voters left the republican party in favor of the democrats. they saw the democratic party as advocates for equality and justice, while the republicans were too concerned with keeping the status quo in america.	No	0
republicans have been spreading so many lies and misinformation the last several years between covid, that the election was stolen, and providing cover for trump’s countless lies. it may seem like there are more articles calling out republican lies because in fact republicans are constantly lying.	Yes	1
just a reminder there are whole sections of bragg’s website stating how he will not prosecute misdemeanors which includes crimes like assault and sexual harassing women. this guys is a complete joke and i want to hear why people would actually want to vote for this.	Yes	1
can they vote now?	No	0
i voted wrong.	Yes	1
the whole "but trump was accused by more women" argument does nothing to tell me that i should vote for biden. it tells me i shouldn't give my vote to biden or trump.	Yes	1
no part of the steele dossier was used to bring in mueller. that was 100% because trump fired comey then bragged to the russians that he got rid of him to stop the russia investigation. not the trump investigation, but the fbi investigation into russians election meddling activities.	Yes	1
i consider myself conservative, but i could vote both ways depending on the choices.	Yes	1
your vote for the presidential election doesn’t count anyway. the electoral college takes care of that for us. we are not a democracy anyway. our founding fathers knew that true democracy had never worked anywhere it was ever tried before.	Yes	1
your argument is sensible and comprehensive. but i disagree with the wasted votes. there is no such thing as a wasted vote unless you don't vote. it is showing that you want change and support a different ideology to canada and it's future. you don't see the future the same way i do and that is fine your point of view had logic points. but also flaws in it's execution. waiting until the people decide they want ndp and then voting ndp at that time is not the correct approach to politics. statistics aside.	Yes	1
omg. how can someone be so... stupid. how can people give votes to this person. how?? tell me how can a human with a functional brain can give this guy a vote?	No	0
that's why she didn't get my vote.	No	0
thank you, rasm635u, for voting on iamyodabot.	No	0
this is exactly why i’m perfectly okay with my republican neighbors not voting. they both hate trump, but they also don’t really want biden. fine! sit it out! because if they go and vote, they’ll vote biden but then vote republican down ballot.	Yes	1
it’s the new reddit polls.	No	0
sorry if i wasn't clear. in my comment people vote tory because:	Yes	1
this is highly disingenuous. the hillary poll was from well before this point, iirc before the nominations were locked up and a lot of gop were still hoping for somebody else.	No	0
oh, i agree. i think most everyone thought hillary would beat him, and despite being a centrist, unpopular candidate who ran an absolutely terrible campaign, she still won the popular vote. and while i don’t think biden is a great candidate by any means, it’s really saying very little to say he’s better than trump. but yes, we absolutely need better candidates.	Yes	1

he's going to be part of the peanut gallery throughout all of biden's presidency. i don't think news networks can help themselves when it comes to reporting his tweets. he's going to tweet every single day and it's going to be headline news on an almost daily basis.

then you're voting against your own interest. he sold everyone's lives, republican or democrat, so he can force states to bid for medical equipment. our slow response to covid was a shameless attempt to monopolize he distribution of medicine during the pandemic so select private companies could profit. our economy is in shambles because trump placed his idiot son-in-law kushner in charge of supplying the government with equipment.

yeah, allowing a couple weeks to vote by mail in all states would be far more beneficial.

it's actually just an article about comments made by a republican presidential nominee. the only people who seem to hold your view are the ones who have only read the title of the post, or people who are confused enough to think that someone has stated a fact here.

i'm in my 30s now and was barely in school during the lewinsky stuff. i've been voting for more than a decade. that's like me still admiring guiliani cuz he made moving speeches post 9/11.

biden and hillary voted to invade afghanistan and iraq tbo.

Yes

is it then also silly to claim biden will make it worse? as a single individual, yes. i actually like a lot of what i've heard from him, he seems reasonable and moderate, even if he's made mistakes in the past. the problem is he won't be in power long even if he is elected. and as the representative of his party, it's very much not silly to make that claim. they've been endorsing radical movements like blm and to a lesser degree antifa for years, and supported academic myths like "structural racism" fueling these protests and riots to further their political goals once overt racism ceased to be a real issue.

as it stands, in the u.k. we can’t vote for who we actually want, it’s a wasted vote to choose anyone who doesn’t have a realistic chance of winning their local polls. like many english people not in a major city or former mining district, i live in a safe tory seat. i don’t think anyone but tories have held the seat for about a century. although there are urban areas, farmers (and old people who treat politics like supporting a football team, and vote tory automatically) have a disproportionate sway in the area. no one comes close to beating the tories. my vote counts for nothing. not that i have anyone to vote for.

100% right. jimmy carter is often overlooked but i find him to be the sterling example of the cincinnatus from the plow, the noblest of men and was a fine president at a terrible time. and hegot shafted on the iranian hostage who released them only when ronald reagan neocon was installed. jimmy carter had put us on a path of energy conservancy and independence but he was the last breath of the liberal democracy. the neocons had been dreaming of the moment and finally advanced their candidate ronald reagan. and it's amazing how people have amnesia about him. he totally fucking ruined the banking system caused its complete collapse with the deregulation of the savings and loans and destroyed the real estate market coast to coast in the united states which the taxpayers ultimately bailed out. a repeat story of republican boom and bust and people forget it. his greatest achievement however was repealing the fairness doctrine and allowing shortly thereafter the founding offox news by murdochand the propaganda arm to spew bullshit as they want in a fake news format. it was his finest achievement. but people in a specially younger are clueless about the larger arc of politics that plays out for 30 40 50 years and get lost in the noise of the personality of the candidate and the hot button issue in front.

not sure a strike directly hurts biden, he has made it clear that he will do what’s in the best interest of the american people, and that is keeping the supply chain moving, getting a better deal for the workers, if not actually the best deal, at the same time. so republican opposition is just par for the course, most a just voting against it as a standard thing.

Yes

personally, i would encourage someone to not base their vote on a few supporters of a candidate. i can't imagine death threats and misinformation campaigns are widespread. i'm sure there are some less than pleasant people supporting yang. politics get nasty because it involves deeply held beliefs by many people. the positivity of the yang gang is most certainly a breath of fresh air though, and one big reason i stick around.

he shot himself in the face with all the "joe biden is a good man" and "liz warren is a friend" bullshit, and he never went on the attack on issues he actually had the moral high ground on, because he is just too decent and weak. a good progressive candidate would have called joe biden the war criminal and racist he is every day all day. but no, now the world is stuck with you assholes electing between two racist rapist war criminals.

democratic policy goals poll in everything from "slight majority" to "heavy majority" in terms of american favorability. the issue is that majority preference does not matter in our elections, election rules that restrict or limit voting or voting power do. it's why the gop has been able to hold on to much more power than would be expected given the broad level of non-support for their policy platform- it's not the messaging, it's the rules of the game.

i was thinking that if people didn’t realize the context they would vote for the opposite who trump “endorsed”.

Yes

it was this argument that led to a final, decisive switch. black voters, who had historically been loyal to the republican party because of the 1866 civil rights act, had already been switching to the democratic party. however, upon hearing goldwater’s argument against the 1964 civil rights act, the majority of black voters left the republican party in favor of the democrats. they saw the democratic party as advocates for equality and justice, while the republicans were too concerned with keeping the status quo in america.

republicans have been spreading so many lies and misinformation the last several years between covid, that the election was stolen, and providing cover for trump’s countless lies. it may seem like there are more articles calling out republican lies because in fact republicans are constantly lying.

just a reminder there are whole sections of bragg’s website stating how he will not prosecute misdemeanors which includes crimes like assault and sexual harassing women. this guys is a complete joke and i want to hear why people would actually want to vote for this.

the whole "but trump was accused by more women" argument does nothing to tell me that i should vote for biden. it tells me i shouldn't give my vote to biden or trump.

Yes

no part of the steele dossier was used to bring in mueller. that was 100% because trump fired comey then bragged to the russians that he got rid of him to stop the russia investigation. not the trump investigation, but the fbi investigation into russians election meddling activities.

i consider myself conservative, but i could vote both ways depending on the choices.

your vote for the presidential election doesn’t count anyway. the electoral college takes care of that for us. we are not a democracy anyway. our founding fathers knew that true democracy had never worked anywhere it was ever tried before.

Yes

your argument is sensible and comprehensive. but i disagree with the wasted votes. there is no such thing as a wasted vote unless you don't vote. it is showing that you want change and support a different ideology to canada and it's future. you don't see the future the same way i do and that is fine your point of view had logic points. but also flaws in it's execution. waiting until the people decide they want ndp and then voting ndp at that time is not the correct approach to politics. statistics aside.

this is exactly why i’m perfectly okay with my republican neighbors not voting. they both hate trump, but they also don’t really want biden. fine! sit it out! because if they go and vote, they’ll vote biden but then vote republican down ballot.

this is highly disingenuous. the hillary poll was from well before this point, iirc before the nominations were locked up and a lot of gop were still hoping for somebody else.

No

oh, i agree. i think most everyone thought hillary would beat him, and despite being a centrist, unpopular candidate who ran an absolutely terrible campaign, she still won the popular vote. and while i don’t think biden is a great candidate by any means, it’s really saying very little to say he’s better than trump. but yes, we absolutely need better candidates.
