Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's not even right. There's 18 million veterans and veterans went 55/45 Trump. That's 9 million not 16, and if he can't see why the active duty force voting against their commander in chief is significant then I have no help for him.
you're wrong 52% went with trump and for only the last election, not the previous one and i'm trying to figure out if you're a shill; ignorant; or misinformed.
Oh no, a 3 percent difference between pre election polling and exit polling!
This is rock solid evidence of skullduggery! Woe is me.
you were off by 3 while i was off by 1; you're 3x further from reality that i am. lol
You claimed 16 million veterans voted for Trump when it was actually 9 million. I'm not good at math but I think that's more than 1 percent.
Edit to add, that includes assuming every veteran votes. Adding in the apathy rate it's more like 4.5 million. So that's what 75%?
these were exit polls in 2016 were much worse and disprove your point even further; keep digging that hole for yourself.
also; you should stop using 2 lemmy accounts to try to prove your disapproved point; accept the loss and move on.
I haven't sourced anything from 2016, and the article you provided above is a 2020 pre-election poll.
Also, I don't have 2 Lemmy accounts and I'm not the one digging a hole here. I've never made any claims about the 2016 election. In fact if you go read my comments they're specifically about the military in 2020. You're the one who wanted to bring cold war veterans into the conversation and you couldn't even get the numbers right because you're in such a rush to paint us as conservative.
