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.

      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.

        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.
