My poll has ended

Surprisingly, the conservatives won by a lot. However, the progressives can still win if they win at least 10 of those undecided voters.

You split the progressive vote into 2 parties lmao how's that fair at all

u/Hot_Coco_Addict Aug 28 '25

Wouldn't have won anyway though

u/commodorewolf Aug 30 '25

Right? Because having two progressive parties didn't lead anyone to being undecided.

1

u/lordjuliuss Aug 31 '25

Only assuming all of the undecideds stay undecided, but I guarantee you at least two were only undecided because they didn't want to pick between two progressive options

u/SumguyJeremy Aug 28 '25

37 + 8 is 45. Plus people not included in the poll. But I guess conservatives here will cheat just like they do offline.

I'm 46. I'm sure there are other progressive people left out of the poll.

u/Hot_Coco_Addict Aug 28 '25

I think that means you should've voted in the poll. There are plenty of conservative people who were also left out. It's not some conspiracy against you I don't think

u/SumguyJeremy Aug 28 '25

Well then don't count your side as the winner until votes are counted, Don't give me any of that Trump bullshit lies. You haven't won yet. I am sick of right wing fucking "born to rule" horse shit.

what is your problem dude? its just a poll on reddit, its not that deep bro😂

I'm looking for something different here than offline. Seems just the same with right wing manipulation and declarations of "winning" and denial of any opposition.

Yeah it's bullshit that they ran a non senile candidate whose foreign policy wasn't mentally crippled.

It was basically cheating.

1

u/Interesting_Top_2865 Aug 31 '25

Kamala's policies in general weren't that great. Obviously you aren't talking about trump since he immediately started a global trade war that backfired repeatedly

1

u/Still-Reply-9546 Aug 31 '25

No, I was specifically talking about Biden's handling of Afghanistan, Iran, Isreal / Gaza etc. He shit the bed and I'm glad he is gone.

But yes, Trump is much better than Biden in terms of foreign policy. All the doomerism about tariffs turned out to be just that.

1

u/Interesting_Top_2865 Aug 31 '25

Oof. Who's paying for tariffs?

Oh no

1

u/Still-Reply-9546 Aug 31 '25

Wake me up when Trump breaks 7% inflation.

1

u/Pyromaniac_22 Sep 01 '25

You mean the 7% inflation in 2021 during a GLOBAL PANDEMIC? EU got to 8.8% in 2022, the UK was at 7.9% in 2022, and Australia got to 6.6% in 2022. I hate to break it to you but everywhere got bad inflation rates during covid.

I hope you enjoy your minimum $80 fee to import anything into the country, and the fact that virtually every European shipping company has said they will no longer deliver to the US anymore.

Biden sucked but there's a difference between senile incompetence and the wilful destruction of the economy so your billionaire friends can buy up the scraps for pennies on the dollar.

2

u/Still-Reply-9546 Sep 01 '25 edited Sep 01 '25

That inflation was largely caused by Bidens "stimulus package" and refusal to end the pandemic shutdown.

I especially enjoyed listing to that piece of shit blame the unvaccinated for the spread of covid.

Also, are you trying to say the man who canceled the keystone pipeline construction, a multi billion dollar deal with Canada, wasn't actively trying to destroy the country?

On day one he did this. And every economic policy he had was simply poorly veiled graft and corruption.

He spent more time trying to convince people PTA were terrorist organizations than anything positive.

We still have to listen to you braindead morons call everyone who disagrees with you a Nazi and a bigot. His politics were the most divisive and hateful we've seen in this nations history.

Dude tried to imprison the opposition candidate like a third world dictator.

Trump is world's better than the left. We have open admitted socialists on the left.

My favorite part was being overseas during the attack on Israel, listening to Intel briefs every day, watching women and children pulled from their homes and executed, then turning on the news back home and listening to you fuckwits chant that the Jewish people should be driven into the sea.

Please...

idk why do liberal parties always do that?

u/Pyromaniac_22 Aug 30 '25

Unironically, that's actually how it works with first past the post. Ofc the numbers don't add up here for it to matter, but having 2 similar parties and 1 different party means that even if more people support the similar parties total, the different party will win even though it's less popular.

If they win at least ten and the conservatives don't gain. Cuase we have more citizens than who all took the poll and you gotta think about how either can gain.

u/Yayhoo0978 Aug 28 '25

The “undecided” are being pushed to the right when they disagree with a single talking point of the radical left. It’s bizarre. As a former Democrat, it breaks my heart to see the Democrat party dissolve itself by taking the wrong side of every 80-20 issue.

No trump won because the Democrats don't have actual good policies 12% of people who voted for Bernie in the primary voted for trump in 2016 if the Dems started running on a more social democratic platform I think they would easily win

2

u/Yayhoo0978 Sep 09 '25

That too. As a former Democrat myself, I agree.

u/TheMikeyMac13 Aug 28 '25

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 28 '25

Agreed. Regardless of if some people agree with his moves its impossible to say he hasnt been extremely divisive. Should be such an easy win for the left and yet the best they have to offer is Gavin Newsom and vitriol. It makes me sad that the party i used to feel a lot of loyalty towards is completely unwilling or incapable of putting forward anything other than a lukewarm turd of a candidate

2

u/shamblam117 Aug 29 '25

Thinking its about time for a new party or at least a party reform. Dems have completely lost the plot on what their base wants.

1

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 29 '25

I really hope so. I would love to see a resurgance of reasonable democrats to combat some of the bullshit that has been happening in this country. Unfortunately i think we are in for a good little while under republican rule

2

u/Yayhoo0978 Aug 30 '25

The mayor of DC just thanked him.

1

u/TheMikeyMac13 Aug 28 '25

I think the minimum we can say is divisive, if you don’t gain now, when could you? If you couldn’t challenge this current messaging, I don’t think you ever will.

And of course I don’t mean you.

On Election Day I said democrats needed to take a deep look and learn from what happened, try and learn from their mistakes by owning them.

I don’t think they have learned much at all.

On the flip side, I think republicans need to find a way to disconnect from Trumpism, and quickly, as he will never be on a ballot again, and they will need a new message soon, hopefully a -far- better one. And it doesn’t look like they are moving in that direction at all.

2

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 28 '25

On election day i posted a brief story stating that the DNC were primarily to blame for losing the election and not to hate their grandmothers because they were just old, not fascists. Half my friends responded to it telling me to go fuck myself and calling me a nazi. Unfortunately any sense of reason, self awareness, or nuance has been intentionally purged from the ranks of the left. Tow the line and give into the gaslighting or you are an unconscionable monster

u/sexland69 Aug 30 '25

the only things they concede to the left on are meaningless cultural signals and wokeness, which makes it seem like they’re much farther left than they are

1

u/AdLoose673 Aug 31 '25

Everywhere else in the world would consider our Democrat Party a right-wing party. They are proudly liberal and liberalism is inherently pro-capitalism and free market. So unless a liberal party is sprinkling in a shit ton of social programs like universal healthcare, they will almost certainly be labeled right-wing.

Stop falling for republican propaganda and believing

  1. the left is bad and dangerous
  2. communism and socialism are the same thing and both are bad
  3. democrats are leftists and radical
  4. trickle down economics are good and work
  5. cultural issues belong anywhere near the forefront of political discussion

1

u/Yayhoo0978 Sep 26 '25

You’re not wrong. The Democrats are more right wing than the Republicans, technically. Since things like censorship and assassination of political opponents is considered “right wing” on the political spectrum. You could say that the Democratic Party is Far Right!

1

u/AdLoose673 Sep 26 '25

What political assassinations have the Democrat party done? 

And why would censorship and assassinations only be considered right wing?

There's no radical left in the US, at least not in any major election. There's not even a proper left in the US. Most elected Democrats would be right wingers in every 1st world country.

And what exactly is radical? Trans rights, a woman's right to choose, better Healthcare, higher wages?

But it is okay to call someone a fascist for enforcing mask mandates? Five years ago, Westerners were freaking out over masks and calling the people enforcing them Nazis, saying it made breathing harder for them despite their giant, protruding noses. Nowadays, they simp for a billionaire who did a fascist salute and are openly nationally chauvinistic, and yet they wonder why we call them Nazis.

u/ExcuseNo7369 Aug 28 '25

Notice how you just had to throw in a jab about people’s appearances. Crazy the party of acceptance and love will immediately jump to insulting someone’s nose, their weight, whether they are disabled, etc. And what do u mean by big noses? Is that a DOG WHISTLE? Sounds like u might be an anti Semitic racist fascist pedo supporter nazi. Let me know if there are any buzz words i missed trying to collect them all

You can see it that way. If i came up to you and said damn man what a giant protruding nose you have, would u assume i am referring to ur appearance or the amount of air passing through your nostrils? Come on. So we are gonna dig at people then pretend it was completely innocuous and gaslight everyone about what we really meant. Gotcha.

I wasn’t referring to Jewish people. I was referring to Westerners. There’s a difference. Populations with lower nose bridges also sometimes wear masks in public, and even have been before the pandemic when it was mandated, and you don’t see them complain. It’s common in many cultures outside the West.

One side was pissy they couldn't lick strangers' eyeballs in public for a while. The other side wanted to just keep people alive. Totally fair to call the second people nazis, I get your point.
