Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Oh no i think most people lose in a match up with trump unless its another celebrity

Yeah I don't think so. His approval rating has always been low and Democrats are super energized by abortion (they were only being deflated because Biden old, some by Gaza obv but not enough to matter). He beat Hillary because Hillary sucks ass. As I said in another comment, "a particularly youthful looking broom with a wig on and a speech bubble attatched to it saying "abortion" could probably beat Trump".

I'm standing by the old narrative. Trump sucks ass and it took a particularly shitty candidate to lose to him (Hillary).

Approval ratings and polls mean nothing at all, basically anecdotal information

Kamala is also a shitty candidate tbf and has the same low energy fakeness hillary had

Luv u but i disagree respectfully

But even in polls Kamala is not doing too well

Trump loses to “generic unnamed democrat” in most polls. Literally any democrat under the age of 65 will likely beat Trump. Kamala’s one of the weaker options, I’m pretty sure most of the Dem governors poll better than her, but she still beats Trump in most matchups.

Polls are worthless

I think you’re underestimating how many people hate Trump and how much. Remember that he actually got fewer votes than Hillary AND lost to Biden once already.

That doesnt matter though and also more people are less willing to vote for the party who doesnt do shit and participates in genocide
