America's deepest partisan divides are getting deeper
  • I'd recommend that you take a look at how other democracies do it. Especially the economically and socially successful countries in Europe. The US can learn a lot. But to one side of the aisle that's "radical socialism."

  • Conservative groups sue to block Biden plan canceling $39 billion in student loans
  • They need to fix the actual problem instead of putting bandaids on everything.

    Look to other developed countries that don't have this crazy-ass probably. There are many and most of them at does extremely well economically and socially.

  • Why do people dislike California?
  • As California goes, so goes the nation. Conservatives don't like this.

    If it wasn't for the high cost of living, I'd move to California as well. Still hope I'll make it there some day.

    Biden's surprising soft spot
  • Definitely. But that's not the point of the article.

    From what I can tell, this is the point:

    In the New York Times/Siena poll released last week, Biden failed to win majority support from non-white voters who hadn't graduated from college.

    -- His lead over Trump with this once-heavily Democratic constituency is just 16 points (49%–33%).

    -- In 2020, Biden dominated Trump with these voters, winning by an overwhelming 48-point margin, according to an analysis by the Democratic data firm Catalist.

    -- Obama won non-white working-class voters by a whopping 67-point margin in 2012.

  • Many GOP voters remain undeterred by new Trump indictment
  • "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" Trump remarked at a campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa. "It's, like, incredible."

    Trump dominates DeSantis in 2024 poll with third place way behind

    This stood out to me:

    The poll comes also as Republicans hold a slight partisan edge over Democrats, which shows that 45% of Americans are Republican or lean-Republican, while 42% are Democrat or lean-Democratic, per Gallup.

    That's a change from previous years, including in 2022, when an equal number of Americans said they consider themself a Republican or a Democrat.

    Democrats held a partisan edge over Republicans in 2020, 2018 and 2016, per the average of Gallup party affiliation polls from those years.
