    Looks like the Demshave a lot of work to do to convince the public that Repubs are such a threat


    Independents believe that the Democratic Party more than the Republican Party is “the bigger threat” to American democracy, according to an NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released on Monday.

    In response to the question, “In general, which party do you think is the bigger threat to democracy in the United States,” 41 percent of Independents said the Democratic Party, while 37 percent said the Republican Party. Among national adults, 42 percent said the former, while 41 percent said the latter. Among national registered voters, 43 percent said the Democratic Party, while 42 percent said the Republican Party.

    The fact it's printed doesn't mean I have to believe it. (and I don't)

    So you don’t believe an NPR poll published by MSN but you believed CNN and MSNBC when they told you for months about a Russian collusion and pee tape. The left wing media and democrats pushed bogus news for four years in their attempt to undo democracy. Remember Schiff saying the evidence is in plain sight? Well, where was it? He was trying to unseat a duly elected president and the media tan with it. Then that same media turned a blind eye to Biden’s racism, pedophilia and groping of women along with the sexual abuse allegations against him.

    I could go on for a long time, but the biggest threat to our democracy right now is how the media shapes the news and is controlled by the DNC.

    Sorry, I'm not saying I doubt it was actually published by NPR, I'm saying I don't have to believe the numbers. Who physically took the survey and their integrity? Where was it taken? How many people were surveyed? What percent of error? There are a lot of questions that come to mind when someone makes a big issue out of a survey.

    The Numbers are 41% to 37% (and, that is probably a tossup factoring in MoE).

    In any event, The Poll was Conducted 3 Months Ago (In October 2021)
    Your Article Link is Dated November 1, 2021 (11/1/21)

    "released on Monday" (October 25th, 2021)


    How does this Ancient (Months-Old) Poll Qualify as a "Current Event"?:bored:

    Who defines who's an Independent? The poll maker of course, in this case NPR. Total rubbish these polls are only good for entertainment value.

    Data from 3 MONTHS AGO?
    (A poll conducted in October 2021).
    What does that have to do with "Today"?

    "Today" is when Capt Nice posted "The fact it's printed doesn't mean I have to believe it. (and I don't)". That's why the word "Today" appears in my post. C'mon man, this isn't rocket surgery.

    Oh, I see.
    I get it.
    Well, I am supremely upset about hearing (Today) for the 1st Time about the Lincoln Assassination.
    Point taken.

    And, since this thread has now been derailed to a discussion of "rocket science", are you a fan of Wernher von Braun?

    It's a poll, and tomorrow, there will be another poll, and the day after that, after that, after that, ...................

    Interesting take from the same poll:

    "If your candidate for president does not win in 2024, do you trust that the results are accurate, or not?"

    Democrat 82% yes, 13% no
    Republican 33% yes, 59% no

    Who said Trump doesn't own the GOP?

    I agree with you Steve, except that I dont think the Media is controlled at all by the DNC. The media is controlled by conglomerates that care about nothing more than ratings, which in turn equal dollars.

    The other part of the equation is this:
    The MEDIA as a whole sells sensation. Truth hasn’t mattered in media since the Fairness Doctrine was eliminated.

    The core probes with social medias isnt that everyone has a voice, its that too many people believe things that their friend Debbie posted on Facebook because she got it from a friend who knows a guy who’s DOG shares a bowl at doggy day care with someone who knows the doorman at Newt Gingrich’s sisters condo.

    I assume this is heading towards a lame "you Nazi-loving scumbag" sort of a gotcha, but IDGAF, so ... I wouldn't say I'm a "fan", but he was certainly a brilliant rocket engineer that accomplished amazing things.

    Oh those are questions that NPR should ask before going to press with this information?

    So it's not that you don't believe in NPR it's that you don't believe they thoroughly vet their sources and methods first right?

    Yes, lefties believe only their own facts. Other facts be damned.

    Just wondering, what has the Democratic Party done to make it a bigger threat to democracy than Republicans?

    So within margin of error they said that Independents don't trust the Democrats more than the Republicans?

    Proven examples?

    The GOP stole an election in FL, attempted to steal one in NC and the leader flat out told his cult to vote twice.

    After he lost in a “landslide” they tried to prevent the will of the people from being certified.


    Who knew public healthcare that doesn’t bankrupt families, voter rights and reproductive rights were so dangerous to democracy?…
