    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 fact resistant you guys are. It really IS the reddit experience.

      a plurality

      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.

          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.

            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.

              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?

                Do you have ANY better statistical resource?

                  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.

                    Sounds like that’s a no then…

                    No, but sometimes no resource is of more quality than a misleading poll.

                    If you can provide any evidence that it’s misleading… I’ll take it. But you’ve failed to do so and continue to whinge about it even though you’ve got nothing better to replace the poll as evidence.

        “someone said something I don’t understand, they must be pro-Russian”

        Flawless logic, kiddo.

        is CNN also a Russian shill?

            Stating an obvious reason that democratically elected officials might have an opinion is pro-Russian.

            I guess that elections are also undemocratic?
