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.

Surely the proletariat will express their disgust with fascism any day now, we just had to Teach The Dems(tm) first. Any day now.
God damn, you will never stop being salty that genocide wasn't a winning issue.
Based on the sample, this seems like a disingenuous poll.
We always deported felons. Yet, P01135809's deportation rate is actually lower than Biden's.
We always fought to eliminate fraud and waste. The GOP has invited felons convicted of fraud into the government.
The border isn't closed and hasn't been.
If you're asking these sorts of questions it feels more like push polling propaganda than an honest assessment of feelings.
It is a bullshit poll.
If you ask that question, without being extremely specific as to how "fraud" and "waste" are defined, you're going to get mass agreement. Nobody wants their tax dollars misused. But a Dem might say giving subsidies to the oil industry is fraud and waste, while a Republican might say any money spent on non-billionaires is fraud and waste.
It's a disengenuous poll imo
It doesn't matter that we've always fought to eliminate fraud and waste and that the GOP is full of frauds. They support Dear Leader 'eliminating' fraud and waste.
Facts don't matter, man.
I guess that's my point. If the poll is not based on anything other than bullshit, what's the point of giving it any consideration?
We may as well be discussing a poll on everyone's favorite Teletubby.
Because people approve of bullshit. Because people vote based on bullshit. Because people form their worldviews on bullshit.
Did they ask about “siding with Russia over Ukraine”, or “Making peace in Ukraine in three weeks”? Yes framing matters, and obviously people support policies that are framed like “eliminating fraud and waste in government expenditure “. Wonder how that position is affected if you add the subclause “by kids that come straight out of high school “.
Ah, I see what the article got wrong now. They think he actually wants to implement those policies instead of just being evil for no reason and using those as a guise.
there's is a lot of nuances with those top three. they sound pretty good as an idea but I'm against trumps definition and actions on each of those items
I support deporting undocumented immigrants who commit a crime... for certain definitions of crime. I am not aware of anyone in my personal circle who would say that someone who bypassed asylum seeking to enter the country undocumented and then raped someone should be allowed to stay... the issue is that the administration considers all undocumented immigrants to be equally worthy of deportation while disallowing reasonable legal paths to immigrate.
Due to the sematic bad faith tools in place it's extremely difficult to actually gauge legitimate opinion since that wording evokes a particular ideation in conservatives and the administration exploits that mismatch to commit actions that most Americans find objectionable.
So someone enters the country illegally, commits a crime, you want to just send them back? To do it all again? Rather than, you know, put them in jail for the crime?
Yes, coupled with actual paths to immigrate legally even without "marketable skills".
