The poll seems to cover Democrats and "Democrat-leaning independents," so not the DNC.

Exit: can't find the actual post on Morning Consult yet, but the article features an image where they specify the polled population.

Thank you! Any time this kind of polling shows up on Lemmy, users seem to think this is the Plan of the Democratic Leadership Cabal, rather than an incredibly premature name recognition test.

People want to vote for people they have favorable impressions of who they also think others will vote for. Without other frontrunners, who emerge over time, it's not surprising that polled Democrats would recognize and still support the candidate that 75 million people voted for five months ago.

If you want other candidates (I do), identify them and figure out how to help them build their profile now.

I'm with you. I'm enjoying the current season, after feeling that parts of the early seasons were a little rough. I think the vision is starting to become clearer, and some of the characters are starting to feel how they're supposed to.

All the tired puns or jokes about Nazis/Hitler. "Anne Frankly, I did Nazi that coming!" "You gotta hand it to Hitler, at least he killed Hitler." Etc.

It's the kind of thing you might chuckle at once, but so many comment threads end up piled with the same brain rot nonsense as people trip over themselves to parrot their quirky internet catchphrases.

They bear the burden, and while they attempt to satisfy it we will plug our ears and shout nananananananananana.

For the reasons listed in the post the commenter was replying to: people don't engage as much with the material or with each other.

An aging population base is not good for the future. Your "logic" is severely limited if you're not considering the need for stable tax revenues to provide services, or the need for sufficient caregivers to aid elderly.

Edit: These are "forward thinking" concerns brought up by the comment you're replying to.

Yeah, and Biden was old. Even before his obvious deterioration, there was always a chance he wouldn't make it through the term and Kamala would have to step up. If you voted for Biden in the primaries and were NOT ready for a potential future of a Harris presidency, I don't know what you were thinking.

Callous reaction to what is a clear overstep on behalf of US CBP. Denying entry would have been a more efficient move than detainment, unless the cruelty is the point.

Honestly, I wish I shared your optimism. But I know that I, at least, will be waiting to see what's next from Kurvitz.
