I mean Iraq is OBVIOUSLY George Dubya Bush's fault right? Or are you a republican who loves him? Cause Trump kinda beautifully points out what a dumb lovely president bush was.

The problem seriously is that Bush was horrible, and Obama made everything worse somehow. Trump and Carson represent real alternatives to the direction America has been on, thus all the GOP base support. The Dems forced out everyone who would criticize the Establishment itself, which is totally driven by a pro-corporate agenda. Bernie Sanders seems like he's been handed a script to appeal to disillusioned Obama supporters to keep em all voting for Hillary in the general as a scam perpetuated by "the media" aka Wall Mart Street fuckers

I think it might be happening you guys. Looks like a lot of the Trumpites have Carson as their second choice, so good luck avoiding the crazy GOP.

I'm pretty certain those numbers were "who do you think won the debate?" "who do you think was the best candidate?" not a straight up poll of who they'd vote for. Sorry I didn't make that clearer.

Seems like the stupidity was Bush's to let the majority Shi'ites take over the country and get some long-awaited for vengeance on those Sunni bastards.

Trump wouldn't have gone to war in the first place, which was the right move. It was always going to turn into a horrible shitshow once america pulled out. Guess Obama could have let iraqi govt hang american soldiers instead though, that would have gone down well.

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.


While the Nazis specifically were wildly incompetent, good ol' Fascism would seriously be better for the majority of Americans than the current Neoliberal system.

It would also be horrendously worse for Hispanic people.

I still am finding it difficult to believe the fact that one of the best candidates for President this election is a mediocre trust fund kid whose only legitimate achievement in life is being a successful reality TV show personality, but here we are.

That's not how legitimate online polling works. It isn't 2000 anymore, the internet population is not significantly different than the overall and you can make the necessary corrections regardless to get a representative sample. Bernies just had either a poor methodology or it was just an outlier result from sampling error. Maybe Trumps does too but it has nothing to do with scientific internet polling in general.

"Who won the debate" polls are stupid in general anyway, all that matters is what polling looks like in the early states/nationally 1-2 weeks after it happens. Who won polls are subject to all sorts of noise, media narratives and so on.

The people likely to vote in these polls are not representative of the general population and nothing's been done to correct for it. They aren't scientific polls.

Look, everybody, listen. You're not in trouble *smirks*, but seriously folks, we could be in for some very big trouble very, very quickly. I dont want to - i didnt want to have to say this, but I have to, so I will.

Get your rear end in gear, America. I mean, what is with these unemployment numbers? We've got to get these job numbers up, people. Putin's coming next quarter, and I want to show him we're winning - which we are - but I want to really make him squirm, ya know? You gotta help me out here. Good night, everybody.

There's a difference between a scientific Internet poll by, say, YouGov or Google Consumer Surveys, where they specifically seek out a representative or close-to-representative weighted sample, and a self-selected poll like Breitbart's or any Facebook poll where anyone who clicks a link (probably shared on social media) can vote.

I figured at this point goons would realize "scientific polling" only means that the questions were worded to get a specific result while maintaining the appearance of scientific rigor, not that the surveyors take a general questions and then apply an even handed scientific approach to acquiring responses.
