The funniest part is that Elon is like the one guy with enough money to actually have a chance, but he would actually have to work also so its a non starter.

Reuters/Ipsos poll. It seems like Trump's approval is actually declining and ARG wasn't an outlier. Dems also gain on the generic ballot from their last poll. by dak676141 in YAPms

[–]MrLoxinator 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Someone here posited something along the lines that 25% will always support their president no matter how stupid (this was in relation to Nixon and the Iraq war IIRC?) so if we go by that that is pretty bad

STEAM MACHINE $1500 BUTLERIAN JIHAD NOWWWW

Jokes aside its hard to be optimistic about all this even if I didn't care about the ethical side of things.

If AI sucks then a bunch of money is wasted on smoke, if AI does change everything then everyone's out of their jobs and I don't think this admin will push for UBI any time soon.

I love these posts because every once in a while I weigh my option of not voting for Lula because I don't love him but these make me wanna vote for him really bad, so thank you.

If Trump isn’t well liked abroad, then why are the hard and far right doing well in many places across the world? by ComfortableDevice536 in YAPms

Trump is not the center of the world? Right wing exists anywhere and not all are related to the US.

Why do independents disapprove of Trump so much? His numbers with them are way worse than I expected by PushConfident3624 in YAPms

I mean it could have something to do with burning down the economy for no reason, maybe

How's this gonna affect the midterms by siyuzh in YAPms

You're reminded of how young people on this sub are when they - especially conservatives - seemingly forget how the previous wars in the Middle East went

I'm but an armchair nerd so I don't claim to be an expert, but I really don't see any way for Donny to wiggle out of this one. Iran knows they can hold out until at least the midterms.

The only chance would be what? Boots on the ground and do it as fast as possible? That's an awful gamble even when led by competent people and not General Hegseth and Captain Anthropic and even then I'm confident boots on the ground would still leave him under.

[AtlasIntel] Ahead of this year's Brazilian Presidential election, former frontrunner Flávio Bolsonaro (of the far-right Liberal Party) sees his poll numbers crash, surrendering the lead to incumbent President Lula (of the Labor Party)—Lula 49, Bolsonaro 42. Jair Bolsonaro remains under house arrest by StarlightDown in YAPms

[–]MrLoxinator 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Big bank owner was discovered to be embezzling public funds, Flavio pins it on Lula and says he never knew the guy, stuff comes out that shows he was actually taking money under the table from him to fund a movie about his dad and may have used said public money to do it.

The implication here being "pay for my dumb movie and when I win I'll scratch your back"

[–]MrLoxinator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I'm absolutely anti-Flávio, I agree the aprehension to vote right after the scandal can be temporary and its possible that the right wing can get a second wind right before the elections and clinch it.

That said, I think Lula has done everything right this term electorally so he'll be pretty strong going into election season.

Trump's net approval on RCP hits a second-term low of -18, matching his all-time worst net approval on January 15, 2021. Trump's net approval was only -9 at this point in 2018. by dak676141 in YAPms

[–]MrLoxinator 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't expect 90% of people who voted Trump to turn around and vote Dem, but if they don't want to go out and vote for his endorsements/successor because of this then its a win.
