President Joe Biden says American aid to Ukraine will keep flowing for now as he tries to reassure allies of continued U.S. financial support for the war effort.
That’s true, but they have just invited (former Ukrainian pro-EU president) Poroshenko to their honorary advisory board. I do not think this is pro-Russia stand.
I agree that their focus is center-right ideology, not war in Ukraine. But they do not support Russia, and those rare statements that they do (and the actions like inviting Poroshenko) shows that in this question they are on Ukraine side. There is more “politicking” than just Russo-Ukranian war. Walmart also is not focused on Russo-Ukranian war, does it make it pro-Russia and converting MAGA politicians to pro-Russia stand?
Yeah, about ten guys who were bought and sold by Russia and a couple thousand other folks that fell for their con. By no means a majority and also by no means a reasonable stance.
No… page 10&11 clearly states that you’re wrong. It’s effectively a 50/50 split on Ukraine war with an actual majority 45/55 split saying no more funding.
So your argument is what exactly? That the poll is flawed… so there isn’t a majority or plurality? You realize that both for and against could have been answering by their “gut feeling”… a 50/50 split kind of proves the point that it’s not just a few thousand like was claimed.
Of course if you have a better source showing that Americans are happy with spending more money in Ukraine that’s of higher quality I’m all ears.
Polls with a 50/50 split, are a poll structural fail. It means the questions are too ambiguous, and the poll didn’t control for it. A split of 40/40 with 20% “undecided”? That would be a credible divisive poll. A 50/50? No way.
Look at the “trends” section on page 3, “not sure” between 7% and 14%, those are credible numbers. Now look at pages 10&11, 0% to 1% “no opinion”? That’s BS.
My argument is that linking a shitty poll that paint the issue in black or white does nothing to help to paint the picture of public opinion on the russia’s attack on Ukraine and how people feel about it.
Can you show how the poll is misrepresenting it as a black/white issue?
I can, but you don’t seem to be genuinely interested, so I’m not going to waste my time.
Do you have ANY better statistical resource?
No, but sometimes no resource is of more quality than a misleading poll.
This Putin bootlicker is too stupid to realize he’s helping America’s long-term enemy. He thinks he’s an American patriot, but he’s actually just a Russian simp.
Show me a MAGA politician, and I’ll show you a person bought and sold by Russian interference.
More likely to be bought by the International Democrat Union than by Russians.
To my knowledge IDU policies are in support of Ukraine.
They’re more in support of right wing policy than they are of Ukraine, though.
That’s true, but they have just invited (former Ukrainian pro-EU president) Poroshenko to their honorary advisory board. I do not think this is pro-Russia stand.
The IDU doesn’t care about Ukraine except insofar as it is a pawn to push right-wing ideology abroad.

They can read the polls and can see that a plurality of voters seem to be against more aid.
Edit: -72 is breddy good, I’m quite impressed at how
resistant you guys are. It really IS the reddit experience.

These polls are as idiotic as the Brexit Referendum was.
People have no fucking clue what’s going on and they answer by their “gut feeling”. So it’s all down to the way the question is formed.
And it’s not a “yes” or “no” type of situation either.

A 50/50 split also kind of proves that the answers are as thought out as a coin toss…
So all 50/50 splits are coin toss decisions and not devisive topics? That’s a hot take. Especially with n=1000+ polls.

The majority support Ukraine. Fuck off Russian bot.
“someone said something I don’t understand, they must be pro-Russian”
Flawless logic, kiddo.
Fuck off. You say something pro russian and then cry when people call you pro russian
Stating an obvious reason that democratically elected officials might have an opinion is pro-Russian.
I guess that elections are also undemocratic?
You’re a loon and I thank you for helping me grow my Blocklist.
