President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

don't call him names, it upsets the weak

 

Did he just compare J6 to his inauguration? JFC just when i think he can’t go any lower.

The third anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob comes amid troubling indicators about public opinion on that event. A Post-University of Maryland poll published this week shows a sizable share of Americans accept lies about the 2020 election and the insurrection that followed on Jan. 6, 2021. Only 62 percent say Joe Biden’s victory was legitimate, down from 69 percent two years ago, and far lower than after the contested 2000 election. One-third of U.S. adults say they believe there’s “solid evidence” of “widespread voter fraud” in the 2020 election. Regarding Jan. 6 itself, 28 percent say former president Donald Trump bears no responsibility, 21 percent say the people who stormed the Capitol were “mostly peaceful” and 25 percent say the FBI probably or definitely instigated the attack.

 

Academia doesn't contain many right-wing voices, so conservatives have obsessively sought to destroy it. Same with an atomized and underfunded "media."

How many left/liberal voices are prominent in the military? Religion? Corporate America? Those three areas are often much more influential than conservative targets.

 

Corporate America?

 

There are plenty of left-liberal voices in all three of those institutions (ever hear of the Unitarians?). In religion, they just don't get the attention the MAGA pharisees do. In business, they are a minority but they are present, as any Democratic fundraiser will tell you. And of course, in the military no one is supposed to have a political "voice" at all.

 

I'm not sure this is accurate right now.

 

Sure. The entertainment industry and Silicon Valley might have a lot of liberals but the oil industry? Manufacturing in general? In general the business communities outside the West Coast and New York City are Republican.
