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!

Poverty wages, no affordable housing, and genocide does that to a person

I feel like NYT just wants Trump back so they can continue with their righteous bullshit about Gaza. Their recent questionable "polls" are very reassuring about that.

Was it stupidity?

I'm betting on stupidity.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Altogether, the defectors account for just 6 percent of registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, according to the new surveys by The New York Times, The Philadelphia Inquirer and Siena College.

Jaredd Johnson, 25, who works in marketing in Atlanta, said he supported Mr. Biden in 2020 because he hoped he would return the country to a prepandemic normal, but he doesn’t think he has.

In conversations with friends and family, he said, they understand the importance of supporting Ukraine and Israel, sending aid to Gaza and helping immigrants.

Christopher Sheffield, 61, a counselor for veterans in Thomasville, Ga., said Mr. Trump’s attitudes about race bothered him, but not as much as his concern that conflicts abroad could devolve into a world war.

Though the economy is strong by many traditional measures, half of all registered voters in the surveys said it was poor — including nearly three-quarters of Biden defectors.

She called Mr. Trump “a horrible human being,” but added, “I’m voting on his policies, and I think that he could straighten this country out, while Biden made a ginormous mess out of it.”


The original article contains 1,294 words, the summary contains 189 words. Saved 85%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
