MODERATORS
Meanwhile in Germany, somewhere around 12 % are satisfied with the work of Chancellor Friedrich Merz with somewhere around 85 % actively disapproving.
Don't get me wrong, I too am far from satisfied with the work of Chancellor Merz, but with all his faults he is still far away from being anywhere near as awful as Trump.
The fuck is wrong with the 4 other assholes?
And 4/10 don't understand why Homelander is a bad guy
4/10 think history class framing US slavery as wrong and Nazi's were the bad guys in WW2 is "liberal propaganda"
Four in ten Americans are mentally impaired
you know, maybe Thanos had a point
With the way this timeline is going, the 50% of those snapped would be from the 6/10
Yeah, the real question is Thanos wearing a maga hat
It is really worrisome news.
The media manipulation of the rich works too well.
No free country can survive without publicly funded independent media.
As was predicted because this entirely predictable outcome of making him president is exactly what was expected. And guess what? It's going to get worse.
Lol.
Without a doubt the worst president in U.S. history and we're only at 6 of 10?
This nation is a fucking clown car flying off a cliff made of clowns into a black hole of endless Mandelbrot clowns.
To be clear, this country is far, far too stupid for anything other than continued collapse to happen even after this pedophile is being eaten by worms.
Without a doubt the worst president in U.S. history and we're only at 6 of 10?
Well hey these survey takers sure didn't ask me. Sounds like they didn't ask you either. I dunno who is even answering these things. How does one get asked?
I bet they're missing a lot of Americans in these surveys! I bet it's more like 8 or 9 out of 10 if the survey was more obviously available.
Plenty of dumb racist pedo protecting bastards in the survey.
Poll yesterday said 26% approval rating, which is a record in the US. The title should be 2.6/10. The Guardian probably sought out Trump supporters in particular?
4 in 10 Americans be like
Unfortunately it seems that 8 in 10 Americans also think the Democrats are "just as bad".
8/10 Americans think Trump is bad but Kamala laughed funny
Why do yall keep acting like she was a good candidate? Neoliberals arent good for anyone either. Wow we voted for a trash democrat, were so awesome. She still is shit and we need to do way better. She will never win
Congratulations on being a bot. I’ll engage you this once and block you.
No one said she was a good candidate. The alternative that we currently have is a convicted felon, convicted rapist, and at the bare minimum was associated with one of the biggest pedophile sex trafficking ring that has ever been discovered with hundreds of testimonies that he engaged in sexual acts with trafficked minors. Idk what kind of mental state you’re in to think that Kamala did not deserve your vote (if you are even American which I doubt) but in no universe is Trump an acceptable alternative. IDC what mental gymnastics you come up with to say she was unfit to serve because it doesn’t matter. The alternative is UNIVERSES worse. If the last year hasn’t proven that to you than god help you because you are mentally unwell and should seek help.
As someone who voted for Kamala Harris.. I really wish people would stop pretending like she was a good candidate. She was the better candidate.. relative to a sentient bag of shit. To be fair, the fact that the democrats were split on whether or not incinerating children was okay, probably meant that they were doomed to lose the election no matter who they ran..
sentient
Arguable, he has zero internal monologue and has to express everything he comes up with immediately out loud. If he's sentient, a LLM is too.
"To make our perfect presidential idol we stuck a we-have-Grok-at-home LLM into a trashbag full of molding human(?) waste, and gave it access to social media. We're geniuses."

They are just as bad. Or more accurately they are the same thing. They are both classical liberals and a classic liberal democracy is not viable. Capitalists with free reign.
Given the power of data aggregation, modeling, think tanks and llm human voters are a solved puzzle. At this point they are just testing the models.
“Says here we can do x and that will only move 3% of the electorate”. “REALLY!!” “Yep”.
The whole thing has to burn and we need some ground up reconstruction of our political system. Otherwise it’s just a dystopian cyberpunk future.
Those numbers are higher than the 30% that voted for him. Sounds like he’s doing well.
4 are fine with this. Which is terrifying.
What's terrifying is we're going to do nothing about it

4 outa 10 people are fucking stupid.
Chat, we’re pretty sure those numbers are wrong… more like 9/10
4 in 10 are propagandized to shit
No, at least 3 in 10 genuinely agree with what he's doing, have always thought this way, and are glad that behavior like his can be shown out in the open without consequences now.

4 in 10 aren't paying attention and/or are bad people and bad citizens.
Not paying attention isn't an excuse after a decade. They're bad people at best and traitors at worst.

In other news, 4 in 10 Americans should either be launched into the sun or hung for treason.
The delta V requirements to launch them into the sun are just way too wasteful. Let's do the other option.
yeah it is sometimes hard to wrap your mind around it is easier to leave our solar system then crashing into the sun.
Third option: Delta P?
6:4, isn't that the ratio its always been?
Always that 30-40%.
Oh look, another 6/10 survey. File it with the “2/3 of Americans aren’t massive idiots” and “60 to 70% of people agree good things are good and bad things are bad” surveys.
It’s the drawer next to the “51% vote for nonsense” drawer.
