    FTA:

    “Trump leads Biden in hypothetical match-ups both with and without third-party options on the ballot in states including Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, according to fresh polling.”

    So that would be a 314 to 224 Trump win.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trump leads Biden in hypothetical match-ups both with and without third-party options on the ballot in states including Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, according to fresh polling.

    Trump has cemented his status as the front-runner for the GOP nomination, crossing the 50 percent threshold in a recent Iowa survey conducted by pollster J. Ann Selzer.

    Trump has yet to see any drop-off in support even as he testified in a New York City fraud trial, has prompted backlash and comparisons to dictators for his rhetoric and campaign proposals, and as he continues to face dozens of criminal charges.

    “What I worry about, you guys, from a Biden standpoint is: These are the kinds of things you get when people are starting to rationalize their votes,” Axelrod said on the “Hacks on Tap” podcast.

    Biden has racked up millions in donations at recent high-dollar fundraisers as he builds a campaign war chest that will be used to hammer Trump on the airwaves for much of 2024 on his record on abortion, democracy, the climate, guns and more.

    “Trump has largely escaped any media scrutiny or attention about his ’24 policy agenda because he is mostly in one of five courtrooms being scolded,” Barreto wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

        Hamas bad, Netanyahu bad. Hamas did October 7, Netanyahu is currently committing a genocide, racking up about 18.7k kills so far. Biden supports Netanyahu. The wrong thing to do is support a guy trying to eradicate a group of people simply for existing near them. Everyone who thinks Biden is being politically smart about this genocide is delusional.

          Subsidizing their genocide, for one. But that, unfortunately, is a widely popular position both amongst US politicians and the general population, and is unlikely to change in the near-future regardless of who is in office.

                Yes I’m well aware of that. I’m asking whose genocide we are subsidizing. It’s clearly not the Israeli’s since we are giving money to them.

            Hamas attacked Israel, murdered thousands of innocent people, they raped grandmother’s and children. That is what your supporting. That’s fucked up.

              These bullshit “If you’re not for Israel, you have to be for Hamas” takes really have to stop

              Where the fuck did I say I supported Hamas?

              Nearly 1% of the population of Gaza is fucking dead, man. In the course of under three months.

      Republicans have tripped over themselves to express the biggest support for Israel too, and have enthusiastically funded them all along. So, what?

      Imagine the entirety of your vote hinging on a candidates policy regarding one single country regardless of their policy of your own.

          I can think of maybe 5 Republicans out of 200 that aren’t awful. It’s a pretty safe bet. If they weren’t “bad” they wouldn’t be Republicans.

            Would you still vote for a candidate who is willingly funding the extermination of a race? How many people would it take for you to consider this before voting? 10k dead? 100k dead? 10 million? At what number do you start caring about humanity as a whole?

                The number’s at around 18.7k and it’s only going to increase. There are other sources confirming similar numbers, and the majority of the deaths are civilians. People like you and me.

      Well, it’s better to have a genocide over there than have a genocide over here. Not in my backyard.
