But another reason is that non-elitists are simply not answering polls. So the numbers that they are getting are very skewed - more than normal.
I don't believe that anyone who voted Biden in 2016 won't do so again in 2024. He's done nothing to lose their trust, because they trust snakes and snake oil salesmen.
Also, there's more than polling than just asking a bunch of people some questions ad adding up the answers. For one thing, they're corrected for ideological bias.

That's all that matters to the leftists; "anything but Trump."
Although I can ask any leftist "Why anybody but Trump?" and the best answer they can give is "because he was impeached!" or "because he said dead soldiers are losers!" or "because he beats his wife!"
On 23 Sep 2022, Mike Powell said the following...

questions ad adding up the answers. For one thing, they're corrected fo
ideological bias.
They weight the answers. In the most simple cases, they ask those polled to self-identify as Democrat, Republican, or independent. Then they weight each group's answers to what is known about the actual Democrat/Republican/independent makeup of the US. If Republicans are under-represented, then the answers from Republicans are given added weight to correct for the bias.
We learned all about that in US History classes. I don't think you have a firm grasp on how things become law in the United States, or how court rulings work.Yes, I understand.
It does not matter how long ago the original ruling was decided, it is never, ever on solid ground until it is passed into LAW by Congress, and then until it passes the test of being Constitutional (something that would happen in the courts).Laws were not written because they were not needed.
The Democrats knew this could happen... they bring up how abortion could be overturned if they are not elected during EVERY election cycle. They never do anything when they can because then they could not keep using that threat to abortion rights during their campaigns.I suppose it wouldn't hurt to codify these laws if some believe women don't ha
privacy/abortion/human/health care rights.
Nope, I was not talking about the errosion of democracy or freedom. That was a
pin you put into my words.
I think the right in the US is a danger to democracy to be clear, but that is t what I am talking about here.
No, it actually isn't. I looked it up. The problem comes from how the billNo, that is not what the pro-choice side wants or is doing.
was originally written. It was written to remove all penalties for the outcome of a pregnacy, i.e. one that was terminated or where a baby is
stillborn. However, as originally written, the language also removed all civ
and criminal penalty and liability for "perinatal" death. "Perinatal" is defined as the period around childbirth -- 5 months before and 1 month after
That last bit is the important part. They meant to absolve anyone whose child dies of natural causes within the preinatal period. Because the language was vague, and did not specifically state what they meant by "perinatal" period, it left the door open for a court to interpret the law as including children that died from other non-natural causes during the first month after birth.Pregnacy and the natural death of a fetus are natural things. There is no need
o write laws about it.
Once the "California wants to make post-birth abortion legal" news started spreading, the legal team for the legislator who introduced the bill introduced amendments to close those potential loopholes/legal misinterpretations.I don't think Californians, democrats or anyone else wants "post-birth abortio
to be legal.
I don't actually know where that comes from or what it actually means.
Not at all, but being court precedent does not mean that the court cannot overturn it later. Making it LAW would have solved that issue, so long as the LAW was written in a manner that would allow it to stand up to the test of being Constitutional.I guess so, since that is what has now happened.
What I am saying is that if Roe v Wade is settled law (precedent) as many have
aid then there isn't really a reason for law makers to codify any law.
Could be, but it will have to stand the test of being Constitutional. If the Democrats had not wasted several opportunites to make it LAW, the Republican task of creating a ban would be much more difficult.The democrats have not wasted anything. What is happening now is a waste.
Laws were not written because they were not needed.
But they were needed. Otherwise, it would still be legal.
Nope, I was not talking about the errosion of democracy or freedom. That was >> a spin you put into my words.

From earlier in THIS VERY THREAD:
AI is you. That little arrow means you said it to AT (Aaron). That text
was still in the first message I responded to. So, tell me again that you are/were not discussing the errosion of democracy.
No, that is not what the pro-choice side wants or is doing.
But the law was written that way originally, until others pointed it out.
I don't really think they MEANT to write it that way, but
they obviously didn't read it too well or didn't understand the language
they used in their own bill.
They are not only covering natural death. See the word "terminated" in the previous paragraph.
What I am saying is that if Roe v Wade is settled law (precedent) as many
have said then there isn't really a reason for law makers to codify any law.
To stop it from being overturned. You seemed to understand that in your statement previous to this one but I guess not.
They most certainly did. I don't want it to be made illegal nationwide, either but if it happens the Democrats played a part in it by not doing
their stated jobs ("elect us and we will do something to protect it!").
You right. Everybody will be voting for Kamala.
There's no reason for Biden not to run. He's been good to the leftists.
The only thing that might stop him is if he accidentally destroys too much USA before the 2024 election;
if there's no USA left to destroy in 2024, he would actually have no reason
to run for re-election because his mission will have already been accomplished early.

Bloviating about how he has been criticized by the news media

from everyone. Including the news media.
And so is Joe Biden.

If catching a politician telling constant lies and making bad steps
was enough to justify such coverage, nearly every politician would get such coverage. Some of them, like Trump, HRC, Biden (for his mental lapses), and Cuomo would have required 24 hour/7 day coverage. As it
was, they didn't all get that level. Only Trump came close.

What Trump did in 2020 doesn't justify or necessitate what the media
did from 2016-now.
The media didn't hover over Trump because they "knew somehow that he
would do something bad" or because "he led a coup attempt." Their
decision to attack him mercilessly came way before any of that.

Then you do not understand what is involved. Some of the documents that he had contained very sensitive information and were just laying around
in a manner such that multiple people, including foreign spys, could easily get to them. Some of those documents could have gotten intelligence assets of the USA killed. They were assets who were
risking their life to provide the USA with valuable information that
helps to keep America safe. Other documents would have revealed sources and methods that would tell a foreign government where and how we were obtaining valuable intelligence information about that foreign
government. Once that foreign government knew that, they could close
the door on our access and thus deny the USA from obtaining that information -- and thus harm the national security of the USA.

What did Trump do for Putin?
Putin was waiting for Trump to leave office so he could invade Ukraine more
easily.
The troop build-up came after the Biden regime invaded the USA.

What makes it a big deal is those documents were at Mar-a-Lago
when nobody else was there. And anybody could have read them, or
made copies of them. Including our enemies.
This was not a case of a government person using a personal cell
phone to send and receive e-mails. James Comey said it was a mistake,
and so did Hillary Clinton. And as far as anybody knows, Vladimir
Putin never did read any of those juicy e-mails. So no harm, no
foul.

And yet if you mention that the government should have been trying
harder to get the documents back sooner if they were that sensitive,
you will get a different story about how it was ok to wait.
So somehow the documents were so sensitive that they could have got US assets killed if they fell into the wrong hands, yet not sensitive
enough that they couldn't wait well over a year before trying, in
earnest, to repossess them.
