Interesting that 2/3rds think djt does not have the mental or cognitive health to be President and yet he polls near 50%. 16% of the people say yes, let's vote for the guy who doesn't have the brains to do the job.

I guess it's one of those "he hates what I hate" type situations

Would you rather have an incompetent person you agree* with or a competent person you disagree with?

Edit: why in earth is this downvoted? I'm explaining their logic lol

Edit 2: *

If you believe in their worldview, that actually makes sense. Biden had similar voter patterns not so long ago. If you truly believe that "your side" is the good one (irrespective of the objective reality), then voting for an idiot who will at least pull in some "good" people is perfectly reasonable.

I mean, we're talking about a group who unironically believe that Harris is a communist dictator in waiting.

It's just crazy though because the modern Republican Party has become fascist. The very enemy that used to unite us all towards a better good against such evil.

Well shit, when you put it that way, I guess I'll just go eat some bullets?

Did you mean to say “an incompetent person you agree with”?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
