Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit its worst level during his two terms in office, with more than six in 10 Americans disapproving of the president’s job performance.

Trump’s rating is at its worst on the cost of living and other economic issues since launching his deeply unpopular war against Iran in February, which has plunged the global economy into an oil crisis and sent gas prices rocketing to a four-year high.

Two-thirds of Americans now feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.

        As someone who voted for Kamala Harris… I really wish people would stop pretending like she was a good candidate. She was the better candidate… relative to a sentient bag of shit. To be fair, the fact that the democrats were split on whether or not incinerating children was okay, probably meant that they were doomed to lose the election no matter who they ran…

          sentient

          Arguable, he has zero internal monologue and has to express everything he comes up with immediately out loud. If he’s sentient, a LLM is too.

          That is 100% fair but it’s irrelevant. At this point it doesn’t matter what skeletons she had in her closet or what she supported because there is NOTHING she could support that would be worse than what we currently have.

          Congratulations on being a bot. I’ll engage you this once and block you.

          No one said she was a good candidate. The alternative that we currently have is a convicted felon, convicted rapist, and at the bare minimum was associated with one of the biggest pedophile sex trafficking ring that has ever been discovered with hundreds of testimonies that he engaged in sexual acts with trafficked minors. Idk what kind of mental state you’re in to think that Kamala did not deserve your vote (if you are even American which I doubt) but in no universe is Trump an acceptable alternative. IDC what mental gymnastics you come up with to say she was unfit to serve because it doesn’t matter. The alternative is UNIVERSES worse. If the last year hasn’t proven that to you than god help you because you are mentally unwell and should seek help.

      They are just as bad. Or more accurately they are the same thing. They are both classical liberals and a classic liberal democracy is not viable. Capitalists with free reign.

      Given the power of data aggregation, modeling, think tanks and llm human voters are a solved puzzle. At this point they are just testing the models.

      “Says here we can do x and that will only move 3% of the electorate”. “REALLY!!” “Yep”.

      The whole thing has to burn and we need some ground up reconstruction of our political system. Otherwise it’s just a dystopian cyberpunk future.
