People do not understand the definition of democracy.
[B]The (Dis)United States of America is not a democracy.[/B]
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2866317]It definitely doesn't work well for schools and prisons.[/QUOTE]With all due respect, I was aware that "School" or "Prison" were forms of government. Now I could be wrong and if I am I welcome your correction. As seems there are so many experts on governments and politics posting here.
RCP is the service cited by almost everyone
[QUOTE=Tiny12;2866316]I'm confused. Didn't you say Real Clear Politics was a "Winger" organization that made it difficult to find polls that favored Biden? Why are you linking to the site? Did it change ownership or something?
Interesting that Nikki Haley is head and shoulders above the other candidates, in terms of the favorable / unfavorable spread, with a 9.8% advantage over Biden. She is a Neocon, but I'd vote for her anyway. She'd be the lesser of evils.[/QUOTE]Actually, no I didn't say that. I refer to RCP as "demonstrably Winger-leaning. " You can find polls there that favor Biden. But RCP is more likely to include polls from services known not to show advantages for Dems as often as those for Repubs in their listing and therefore in their concensus of polls results.
Historically, Emerson, Rasmussen and Harris come to mind although RCP is in a quandary about 1-2 of those lately because they have been coming up with Dem-advantage poll results every now and then.
Of course, a good showing by Biden or the Dems in an RCP concensus poll, a Winger-leaning service like RCP, would be more impressive than if it were not Winger-leaning.
And RCP is the more commonly quoted and cited polling service by most of MSM. Naturally, it being demonstrably Winger-leaning.
That's why I cite it too.
538 is rarely mentioned until perhaps weeks before an election. RCP and 538 do not include the same polls in order to arrive at a concensus and neither includes every known national poll available. Each one, any of them I presume, pick and choose the ones they want to list and exclude the ones they don't.
Nikki Haley probably gets bonus points from voters for whom "bipartisanship" is a big plus. She has been pretending that as a Repub potus she is going to abandon the same Repub policies and stewardship that produces the same disastrous Repub results they have been producing for 100 years or so and, you know, promote the Dem policies and stewardship that did not. LOL.
But I have seen polls "even on the demonstrably Winger-leaning RCP" (See how that works?) that show Biden beating Haley in Texas and such. She pulled down the Confederate flag from her statehouse. The Rrpub base will not gift her with the nomination.
The Great Biden Economic Effect as Non-Union UAW workers also benefit
[QUOTE=Tiny 12;2865110]... Your lavish praise for Biden is unwarranted. He gave away a lot of money which should have produced a sugar high. Instead we ended up deeper in debt and inflation kicked off earlier in the USA than other places. And after adjusting for inflation, the working man is now making LESS than when Biden took office. [/QUOTE]
More GREAT economic gains for the working American man, as even non-union workers benefit from a Biden driven UAW supported pay bump. Yeah...that UAW union, the 2x impeached, 4x indicted on 92 felony charges, Trump, said shouldn't pay their union dues.
As polls have [u]71% of Americans supporting unions[/u] and [i]approve of President Biden's show of support for unions.[/i]

This must be that "working man", that supposedly making "LESS".
Yet another GREAT Biden economic data point, like a dagger to the heart of our ISG resident so called Repub economist "eggheads".
GOP base aka fervently MAGA

Nor should we!! She's not one of us!!
Well I believe you said like ET
"I judge USD through the lens of international exchange rates being given for currency in the countries I mainly operate in. Lately that has been: DOP, COP and THB. Over the last year results have been mixed.
THB: Up and down. Trend is up.
COP: Trend has been straight down.
DOP: Trend is up and holding strong.
A strong USD is good for me. And I do not care which party gives it to me. Got no love for the Donkey or the Elephant. ".
You don't live in the USA anymore and don't plan on returning.
Therefore if it was up to me I would revoke both your right to vote and citizenship for both of you.
Additionally your opinion on anything pertaining to USA politics is most certainly irrelevant.
Civic Lesson for those who slept through class
[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2866575]You don't live in the USA anymore and don't plan on returning.[/QUOTE]You don't know my travel plans. You will not be getting the memo. To the USGOV it is irrelevant where I live. Taxes are due from the US citizens worldwide.
[QUOTE=MarquisdeSade1;2866575]Therefore if it was up to me I would revoke both your right to vote and citizenship for both of you.[/QUOTE]Well then I guess it is fortunate that it it is not up to you. All you have to do in order for that to happen is to petition your elected officials at the federal level and ask for a redress of your grievances. They respond to email. At least mine do. [B]LOL![/B].

Didn't the US get started because a bunch of mother fuckers who were rich decided to say "Fuck you" another mother fucker across the ocean because they didn't want to pay taxes? No taxation without representation. How much revenue would USGOV lose if it your policies were invoked against all individuals excising their right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"? Show me where it says that a US Citizen is required to live in the United States in order to vote or to retain their citizenship.
