    This is a dumb poll.

    1. People are pissed at Democrats because of Trump
    2. Nobody wants Harris to try and run again
    3. Newsom isn’t a candidate

    Do this poll again and see how AOC, Mamdani, and Sanders are against Trump. The question in this post is asking which type of Turd Sandwich you’d like, with no option for “None of the above”.

    Trump is wildly unpopular, and people will vote against him, but if you’re asking which other unpopular candidate you’d vote for, it’s a stupid question.

      The DNC will use the last bit of power and relevance it has to force Gavin Newsom on us as our only option, mark my words.

      The people are telling you that they’d rather try facism out over the milquetoast business as usual bullshit that the democratic party is trying to shove down our throats at the behest of billionaires. Citizens United has made it so that a politicians target audience can simply be AIPAC, health insurance companies, or whatever bullshit cause that has enough incentive to entitely bankroll a politician. Everyone is sick of the status quo while the wealth gap keeps widening.

      It is absolutely insane that the economy is currently working because of the spending of the top 6% of income earners are still spending money.

      The problem with any of these candidates is that the DNC establishment would probably prefer an illegitimate 3rd Trump term before any of them. The DNC would have no problem putting their fat thumb on the scale to ensure some milquetoast AIPAC shill gets the nomination before any of them.

      Walz was a rising hope, but the propaganda machine basically chewed him up and spit him out.

      They’ve managed to associate him with fraud that other people are responsible for, and which, furthermore, are orders of magnitude worse in R governed states.

      But, sadly, you can’t polish your image by saying “I had nothing to do with that fraud!”

      Still, I hope he finds a way. He’d be the best president we’ve had since Carter.

        It’s wild that this shit works while someone like Rick Scott gets a free pass after being implicated in the largest health care fraud in US history.

        The ‘R’ signifier next to a name really is OP

          Whose fault is that? MAGAs always act like EVERY Dem is a demon straight from Hell. Dems aren’t obligated to believe them. In fact, just the opposite - If MAGA hates them, that’s a good sign that Dems should support them.

          The Conservative Propaganda Machine works mostly because Democrats believe it, too.

          Dems need to stop allowing MAGA to decide who their leaders should be.

      People don’t want to piss off the party by announcing before the party favorite is in/is soundly removed from contention.

    Pitting 2 democrats against Trump, will obviously split the democratic vote.
    Democrats got 61% and Trump 41%, but that’s 102%
    So IDK how they made this survey, but it seems dishonest.

    Even the 41% for Trump alone without considering the Democrats seems very high ATM.

      And during the few moments that we have left. We want to talk right down to earth. In a language to virtue signal so you understand.

      Look in my eyes. What do you see? The cult of deniability.

      Why do democrats love bad candidates?

      Because billionaires own all of the media. And billionaires don’t like progressives.

      Bernie Sanders would have been a mess. He would probably increase minimum wage, introduce healthcare for all, making a nuclear deal with Iran, and call Russia the enemy again, and secure relations with all US allies.

      All those things are anti American now. The new America is opposite America. Try to keep up!

        There already was a nuclear deal with Iran from Obama’s administration. Trump tore it up for literally no reason.

        He would have given us 4 years of government gridlock because the Supreme Court and Congress would have absolutely shut down anything he tried to do.

        Which still would have been great. I just don’t think he would have accomplished much of his agenda.

          Sad part is that is how lots of Americans think.

          Yes if Trump still has 41% support, there must be A LOT of Americans that think like that.
          Here we call thinking like that being insane. In USA it’s called being right wing.

    Less unpopular would be a better way to put it. They’re all well under 50%.
