I refuse to believe there are actually "undecided" voters. Just attention seekers.

 

I can't not read this as "EPIC MENS RIGHTS ACTIVIST" poll.

 

Biden is really unpopular too, people are desperate for a better option.

 

Following any polls in August of 2023 is for masochists only.

 

I remember I posted a January 6th meme and a friend replied "why? what happened January 6th?"

A lot of people don't know, don't care what's going on.

 

how can you not know about Jan 6th?

 

jan 6th 2001, the day george bush was certified into office

 

Ain't gonna happen though. Short of one of them dying in the next year, it's going to be a 2020 rematch. I know most people aren't paying attention now, but I can't imagine anyone who voted in 2020 is going to switch their vote. At least not in any significant number. Which is why I'm skeptical of the idea of the "undecided voter."

 

Any "undecided" or "independent" voter is just a Republican haha, like no one is like I know this guy committed treason but let me see what he thinks about reproductive rights

 

They don’t remember dates they just remember there’s a hang Mike pence day sometime after Christmas but before Easter

 

Every single one of those Disney live-action remakes has been a box-office hit, so I'd say that's a pretty terrible bet.

 

Imagine being 60 and thinking about Disney movies and Barbie

 

"Listen, I'll be the first to tell ya that Trump's got a foul mouth, and all his yappin about a stolen election is nonsense. But I'll be darned if I gotta pay more than $4 a gallon for gas again, so imma just hold my nose and vote for him, and I'll pray every night that God will give him the strength to rise to the occasion"

 

I’ve basically heard this verbatim before

 

I'm 41 and spend an inordinate amount of time on a pop-punk fansite so . . .

 

I’ve been here for like half my life at this point and never once liked pop punk

 

Doesn't feel like anyone is really taking this storm seriously. Tried to tell my parents the winds are going to be crazy, and it's going to be dangerous, get some supplies ready, and they were like yeah it looks like we'll get a little rain. No one at work seems to care. We're quite a bit further north, but San Diego officials just released a statement that was like "this is real, you need to take this seriously, this will be unlike anything we've experienced".

 

Yeah I think while frequency could increase in some areas/cases, the bigger thing is the intensity of the storms.

I work for NJ's Department of Environmental Protection and we just implemented new rules last month to ensure new developments and redevelopments are designed for future impacts. One of main things it does is require that stormwater management basins and practices be designed to manage runoff from future storms by accounting for future projected precipitation data (instead of data from 1999 as the old rules did). Each county has a change factor based on studies conducted for the state and in some cases the precipitation for a 100-year storm is projected to increase 50% by 2099. New jersey was already stricter in our flood and stormwater rules than most other states as far as I know so it's good we're going even further

this guy is more insane than I thought

 

The people we elect don’t actually run the government, so……elect me?

 

The “dirty little secret” aka the federal bureaucracy that literally everyone knows exists and that I literally spend like 3-4 classes teaching my AP Gov kids about lol
