In reply to the discussion: Poll: Americans want Democrats to work with Trump [View all]billh58
(6,655 posts)40. Bullshit misleading headline.
"The poll shows the party is divided on how to deal with Trump: 52 percent of Democrats polled say they should cooperate with him on areas of agreement and 48 percent saying they shouldn't.
Those figures are nearly identical when the question is flipped 68 percent of those polled say that Trump should be willing to compromise and find ways to work with Democrats in Congress."
These findings do NOT indicate that "Americans want Democrats to work with Trump," but that they want Democrats to work with Trump on areas of agreement. What in the hell would those "areas" be? The entire Trump right-wing agenda is an anathema to Democratic values and positions on all issues. Only right-wing, bigoted, racist pseudo-Americans want Democrats to work with the boy king.
No, we can't all "just get along" because Trump, and those he has surrounded himself with are criminals who stole our government, and we must fight to get it back.

I don't believe it. 73% of Americans agree with 45*'s agenda? We're really fucked.

When did an online survey become a poll? Meaningless fake news with biased questions to boot.
