- IF its bubble doesn't burst before then - but if it does win, it'll be entirely the work of the MSM (& polls the Labour Party) touting it.

And (not that I'm a fan of the man nor of his party), WHY isn't Ed Davey - whose party has EIGHTEEN TIMES the number of MPs as Garbage's has - included?!
🤔🙄🤯🤬

the leaders of the LibDems (72 MPs), Scottish Nationalist Party (9), Sinn Féin (7), Democratic Unionist Party (5), Greens (4), & Plaid Cymru (4) have been omitted?

Answer: because MSM & pollsters are giving Reform UK FAR too much free publicity.

Admitted that it MIGHT win the next General Election

Trump is included for comparison. It's well known that most British people despise him... but, apparently, not as much as they despise the leaders of the Tory & Labour parties.

Another question (completely unbiased): WHY is Nigel Garbage (who leads a party with just 4 MPs) doing in the poll when 👇👇

Analysts are agreed that Polanski's potential leadership of the Greens & the formation of a new party led by Sultana & Corbyn could (independently of each other) cause a seismic shift in 🇬🇧 politics.

TOGETHER, even more so.

So WHY were they left out of this poll - carried out AFTER that analysis?!

I ran out of space. I meant that sentence to forestall objections that Sultana, Corbyn, and Polanski aren't [yet] officially leaders of 🇬🇧 political parties.

It would've been interesting to see how their ratings compared to the others... especially since the ZS/JC announcement is BIG recent news!

Poor thing! She's "a victim of antisemitism"!

Some of MAyim Bialik's support for Israel (a screenshot of part of her Wikipedia page) : Support of Israel During the 2014 Gaza Conflict, she donated money to the Israel Defense Forces for armored vests.[67] She has been vocal since the October 7 attacks saying she was "speechless" amid the "exceptionally painful" Gaza war.[68] She has also spoken up against antisemitism on college campuses in the United States.[69] On November 6, 2023, Bialik and Noa Tishby stated that they were against calls for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestine saying, "No country in the world would be asked to stop protecting itself under attack from all of its borders."[70] She accused many students of being ignorant on the issue and attacked pro-Palestinian activists, supporting their arrest. Because of these views, she was heavily criticized and accused of considering the lives of Palestinians less important than those of Israelis. When criticized, she responded by limiting her comments and calling herself a victim of antisemitism, reiterating her full support for Israel's actions against Gaza.[71][72][73] She later promoted on her social media a children's book that portrays Israelis as the sole owners of Palestine.[74]

Book portrays 🇮🇱 as sole owner of Palestine.

During that 7-day "war" in 2014 (between 2,216 and 2,310 Palestinian dead, 65%-70% of whom were civilians; 10,626 wounded vs 67 Israeli military & 6 civilians dead, 556 wounded, including 87 civilians), she donated... flak jackets to the Israeli soldiers.

Does that 17% "unsure" about Kid Starver include the man himself?

He's made so many U-turns that I wouldn't rule it out.

If these are stats for lefies, why aren't results for @zarahsultana.bsky.social, @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social, & @zackpolanski.bsky.social, etc. shown?!

DT doesn't lead a 🇬🇧 party.

I knew about 🇺🇸 provoking Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor. 🇺🇸 History was a required subject for 11th grade at my high school. I took it in 10th grade & chose* WW2 as my end-of-year essay topic. I got an A+ on that paper.

A few typos slipped in there. I was typing and posting in a hurry: my phone's battery's running low.

If Dems won't do the job they're elected to do, BURN THE PARTY DOWN! PISS on its ashes! (I see no hope for the GOP. Even their voters are beyond redeeming. But ELECTED Dems are BETRAYING their voters.)

STOP MEDDLING IN OTHER COUNTRIES' INTERNAL AFFAIRS!

That's a start.

for personal gain. Clarence Thomas is just theost blatant example.

Set time limits for SCOTUS (and other) judges. 12 years for all I care, to protect them from partisan bendettas. But NO lifelong tenures.

Tax the fucking rich, FFS! Make it IMPOSSIBLE for billionaires to exist. NOBODY needs $1bn!

Solutions?

Well, for a start, primary any Dem (House & Senate) who continues to back a pathological 🇮🇱.

Ban ALL SuperPACs.

Ban bribery (take money out of politics: other countries have done a better job of this).

Impeach Trump AND several members of the Supreme Court - those who ABUSE their posts

I think that 🇺🇸 is in a REALLY SHITTY situation right now... And that the "Democratic" Party shares a great deal of the blame.

Frankly, I think that 🇺🇸ans who moan about THEIR rights being removed after 🇺🇸 has SYSTEMICALLY destroyed rights of people in other countries (often killing them) are 💩💩💩s.

I've created 3 which can be found on my profile page: 2 of Grumpy Leftist Gits + this (broader) one.

I made a mistake in the ALT text for that image. It's not "Under The Rocket's Glow": it's "Under The Rockets' Glow".
