CBS News analysis: Most Republicans agree with "poisoning the blood" language

That's the headline CBS led with, sort of a buzzy lead...

But I'd say this polling and results presentation is actually quite decent, in attributing the participant pools (all registered voters, and likely Republican voters), and in the effort to get a representative sampling. Nothing much to quibble with though I'm left wondering a bit about the demographics of the respondents (by age, geography, SES, a few other details). Overall, I'd say this is impressive for a news organization, both in the efforts at decent social science and in the clarity of presentation, without over-concluding big 'shockers' or under-considering some of the key determinants. So I applaud it's effort at 'neutrality' or grand conclusions.

Thin-sliced: This seems to mirror other polling and the general observation of how key beliefs are distributed between likely voters.
Beyond that; 1) Things are very close, split nearly in half by party; and 2) That is... Very Interesting

NATO and U.S. ground forces backed up by superior air assets can clean up the Russian Armed Forces in about two weeks and depose Putin and get a negotiated settlement on Western terms within a month. It will guarantee Democratic rule of the Federal govt for the rest of this century. I am not anti-Putin/Russian or pro Ukraine, far from it. People WAY overestimate Russian capability. If Russia was up to it, they would have blitzkrieged Ukraine last year. They didn’t because they can’t

Don´t think so. NATO countries have been reporting for months that they are down to between a week or two, to a couple of days worth of ammunition. You are dreaming, very dangerous dreaming.

LOL.

(First time I’m left speechless. Well done, “workingclasshero.” You should consider joining Zelensky on the comedy circuit…that is, if you’re into that kind of piano play.)

  1. "Just because you have criticisms about the book, it doesn’t mean you don’t like it or think the whole thing is shit. Just because I found a plot hole in a book and point it out doesn’t mean I’m hating on the book. It just means I found a plot hole in the book. Far too many people think that enjoyment or quality is binary — you loved it or you hated it, it’s perfect or it’s terrible. No!"

  2. "Reading while walking is one of the great pleasures in life and is the superior way to read. Find a nice flat park with wide lanes and no open manholes."

Comment exclure certains tags de mon fil ?

Ce n'est pas car j'adhère à recevoir des sujets de personnes qui m'intéressent que tout ce qu'elles publient m'intéresse. Comment faire exclure automatiquement certains #tags ? Est-ce que la fonction existe qui permette de ne pas devoir exclure totalement des personnes ?
Exemples : la #politique d'un état, la situation sanitaire liée au #covid, le #bashing de certains sujets environnementaux et énergétiques comme la poursuite du #nucléaire.
C'est que j'aimerais pouvoir m'intéresser à des éléments positifs, sans devoir me taper des #opinions négatives ou une quelconque #agressivité sachant que je serais bien incapable de convaincre des tiers de leurs #positions et #obsessions néfastes.

it is cringe,
finding oneself,
on the same side,
as the stopped clocks,
who usually have views you find abhorrent.
but i remain unshook,
not going to lie to conform,
not going to lie to not appear as the abhorrent.
unswayed by that social pressure,
to groupthink, to clique,
to parrot in action,
reaffirming,
the divide and conquer,
unthinking, sheeple shuffle,
side-eye, inner lie,
seeking truth in statistical probabilities,
within the confirmation bias silo,
no.
not doing that.
not the epistemologically sound way,
not integrity to the search for truth.
got integrity in the search for truth.
find an epistemologically sound way,
yes doing that.
yes.
outside the confirmation bias silo.
seeking truth beyond prejudicial presumptions,
look straight, look around,
think in, think out, think all about,
connect and rediscover,
requestioning,
re-harkening alter-view,
another perception, to click,
unswayed by that social pressure,
not going to lie to not appear as the abhorrent.
honoring free considerately,
none forsook,
not even those with views abhorrent.
sympathy for stopped clocks,
same side or not,
wherever found,
beyond first cringe.
