I heard an amazing stat today (to me anyway) - right now 29% of Americans think the country is on the "right track" ..........like that seems insanely low: My question is does this question now mean what it always has or is the climate so divisive does this particular question no longer has the same weight? Are people just going to say "Yeah we're fncked but at least it's not a Republican in the White House!" Can the Democrats always win by being the "least worse option".........or is 29% a red flag atm to be taken very seriously like it always had been before? www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/direction_of_country-902.html |

Well voting in the us is optional, not only but also you choose electors by state, itsn't proporcional in most of them. So clearly if someone is forced to vote Democrat in California, probably he/she will, becuase California is a Democrat State Yep you in California could vote for the Republican Party as President, but is a wasted vote.- in Calfornia your boss, your family, or whatever could force you to vote Democratic, and probably you will accept that, without said a word. The same could happened in a Republican State.- You have to be more firm in swing states, and that's partially what happened in the last election.- the election was more laxed, so it's right now like a "civil war", where people don't trust in their neighboars even in their own family, who vote for 98 year old grandma who was in a residence?.- Grandma was in California or Florida, and none cares, but she cares if she is registred in Arizona, Georgia or Pensilvania.- How many residence old people vote in last election, they vote for email, or personally, they trully express their opinion or was their son, daughter, grandchildren or the residence owner that vote for them.- At least if it was personal, we guess he/she vote for what they wanted, but for mail? So your options to agree for what the people vote are slim by nature.- You don't vote for a President you vote for a collage, where in most of cases the winner takes it all.- And feudalism not only exist, but also is in a very good health.- |

Well, there are currently thousands of illegal immigrants camping out under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas which is not good at all. Regardless of your political leanings, I'd say its waaaay past out of control as of right now. In August, U.S. authorities stopped migrants nearly 209,000 times at the border, which was close to a 20-year high even though many of the stops involved repeat crossers because there are no legal consequences for being expelled under the pandemic authority.  apnews.com/article/health-mexico-texas-caribbean-immigration-9a95f12bd4e425bcdc87d38fa2cad298The US has been headed in the wrong direction for quite some time now imo. And it has been well before Biden was named President. The Trump administration was a total shit show and America clearly lost a lot of respect from our allies when he was in office. His entire presidency felt so surreal and like a bad dream. Whether it was Trump inviting over that North Korean psychopathic turd over to the States to wine & dine him or Trump constantly berating anyone and everyone etc. Honestly, I'd say the last time I was confident that the US was headed in the right direction and felt a sense of normalcy was during the middle of Obama's 1st term. He was at least very articulate, gave good speeches and seemed to get Americans of all walks of life to rally behind him. Plus other nations around the world respected us more (for the most part). So yeah , its definitely been awhile since I've been confident that the US has been headed in the right direction. I fear its only going to get worse as of right now (hope I'm wrong though!) |

Oh no doubt the border issue is one of the biggest reasons why his polling numbers are subpar atm. Just the other day, Biden was asked by a reporter on his thoughts about the border and Biden literally just walked right past the reporter and said "We will get it under control" and that was it. lol and now the mainstream media is trying to push this bullshit narrative that is trying to portray border agents as these blood thirsty Nazis or something.  all because of one photo that was taken out of context. That stupid meathead Fredo Cuomo over at CNN said it reminded him of slavery. jfc its just so laughably predictable at this point. The border agents are completely out manned, over worked and overwhelmed by the endless amounts of illegals coming into the States. And where is Kamala Harris in all of this???  I thought she referred to herself as the "border czar" before lol. I do know she IS the Vice President of the United States. It would be nice if she was more pro active and gee I don't know ...do SOMETHING anything. I'm not asking for much (just for our top politicians to enforce the laws ) |

Biden's aides cut off Boris Johnson mid sentence and ushered out reporters wanting to ask questions. This short video doesn't even show the Biden aides ushering the reporters out of the room. Like wtf ?!  |
