Some days I think the news organizations seek out the shittiest opinions and air them in hopes of getting clicks.

I'd also point out this is a problem of their own making; we're burnt out with the perpetual election cycle and incessant lack of adult behavior from Congress. I'm extremely dedicated to voting but I'm also fucking tired of it.

Not to mention, the user who posted this is relentlessly negative and pessimistic. I’m all for paying attention to the things happening around us, but being fatalistic about everything doesn’t help anyone.

This is literally the opposite of how polls work...

But just in general, can you tell me if we're at a 1 or 2 in your eyes:

  1. The only reason there arent more people excited about Biden because the media influenced everyone.

  2. Everyone is super excited about Biden and this poll is trying to influence people into thinking no one does.

Because, man...

In 2016 both worked bad for Hillary...

In 2020 both worked badly for trump...

And if we're at this point for Biden 2024...

Well, it ain't a good sign homie. And even if you think it's too late to change candidate, can we at least agree that what Biden and his campaign is doing isn't working?

It's number 3, same as it was last election:

No one is excited for Biden, but many many people are tuned in and anxiously keeping up with the election because they despise Trump and fear the direction he'd take the country.
