That independent figure is what makes me feel good about Biden's chances. Most of the country overall thinks Trump did a godawful job. Even if the Republicans are mostly cool with it, they aren't who Biden needs to win.

It's pretty wild that you have people that prioritize maintaining their completely artificial system over the very real deaths of people.

Like, fuck. We've made a wrong turn somewhere.

It's unacceptable. But I also think deaths from the seasonal flu are unacceptable (which is just about as deadly as COVID).

The difference is that no one tells people that they can only open their business at 25% capacity over the seasonal flu. All of this is about more than just controlling a virus at this point, it's about controlling you and me.

Only reason someone won't see it that way is if your livelihood probably doesn't rely on you (or a family member) operating a small business like a cafe.

One of the worst rates per population in the world and bound to get worse.

And there were lots of opportunities to stem the spread and not let it reach that point to begin with

Public reminder that MAGA folks think that literally every death regardless of circumstance will be added to the Covid death count if the deceased had Covid at all.

Like even if they had a heart attack or something.

That's the excuse they give when they say "The numbers are exaggerated"

Eeehh

This is weasily

What does acceptable actually mean here?

To me 0 deaths are acceptable

Once Trump botched the initial Corona response, 100k deaths was inevitable and 200k was likely.

This just feels vaguely worded to me. I bet if you phrased the question differently the results would be more even

Like "Is it ever okay to kill someone "

Ask liberals and they overwhelmingly say no
Ask conservatives and they will overwhelmingly say yes

Ask "Is it okay to kill someone running towards your baby daughter with a knife, saying he's going to murder her?"

both say yes

ask "is it okay to kill someone because they have a different opinion on Farscape to you?"

both say no.

You're measuring the general mentality/thought process of voter bases here than you are asking a real question.

Question really needs more clear framing.

If they're still coming to this conclusion there isn't any intelligent discussion to be had.

Considering there's a sizable portion there that believes the number of deaths is overreported (it's not), this seems to track.
