Trump defeats Harris by landslide in Musk’s poll on X
News + Rescue ^ | August 22, 2024 | Staff

Posted on 08/22/2024 10:23:30 AM PDT by Navy Patriot

Former US President and Republican nominee Donald Trump has resoundingly beaten his Democrat rival Kamala Harris in an online poll conducted by billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk on X (formerly Twitter).

Harris accepted her party’s official nomination earlier in August after President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the race; she later tapped Minnesota Governor Tim Walz to be her running mate.

On Tuesday, Musk posted “Since a lot of people have asked, here goes a super unscientific poll.”

I’d like to , but I don’t put faith on that at all.

Since Musk took Twitter over he has made it a free and fair site. The leftists hate him for that and have been leaving it in droves and I suspect the ones staying dont use it as much. A poll was done in march and it found use has dropped by 20%, probably 25% by now. And I bet most of that are the Democrats.

Kind of like if I ran a poll on FR, Trump would kill Harris. Maybe 100% votes for Trump.

It’s called echo chambering.

There was an online poll on X a few weeks ago with Trump 49%, Kennedy 34 (?) and Harris around 13.

You may be right about the Democrats leaving, although RFK Jr has also been shadow banned from the beginning of his campaign either by Elon directly or more likely the new CEO responding to advertising pressure that has blacklisted him across all media channels.

The Harris campaign issued a fiery response, denouncing Trump’s “extremism and dangerous agenda,” and decrying “self-obsessed rich guys who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024.”

"Extremism and dangerous agenda"? Who is the idiot who just declared "pricing gouging" on an industry with a 1-3% profit margin and wants to implement price controls as a solution even though they never work? Who has been the defacto Democrat nominee for over a month, but has yet to hold a press conference without scripted questions?

Methinks pot...kettle...black..

I wish it were that easy.

Assumption: since Musk has made X more about free speech and curtailed much of the quick and easy one sided censorship, many liberals have fled into other “safe spaces” for them.

They have a very hard time arguing the merits / logic of their positions based on a “true” historical, economic, moral, scientific or natural, basis.

Their arguments are all about class, race, sex, gender warfare, feeling victimized and entitled, using some pseudo scientific junk (Gay gene, climate change...) equivalent to phrenology, arguments by exception (using the exceptions to argue for a general rule - we need abortion because of some rare birth defect), and lots and lots of FEELINGS. If you point out the dysfunction, in some cases just merely disagree, they resort to attacking you personally, the fallacy’s start flying.

Point being, I suspect X is no longer representative of the population and may be slightly right leaning in who uses it. Not that it is designed that way or intentional, but many of those on the left prefer to live in an ideological echo chamber where no one questions their point of view. Many of those on the left are willfully ignorant, they literally do not want to hear anything other than what supports their paradigm.

Once X stopped the mass censorship, many of these snowflakes probably ran to some other platform where they are not “assaulted” by new or ideas or arguments against their positions.

Not in the news: The DNC just signed a contract with a publishing company to print, fold and stuff 40,000,000 envelops with Harris / Walz ballots.

Sounds like Musk is cleansing X of Marxists.

Not that difficult to do.

Get rid of censorship by supporting the First Amendment.

Free speech to a Marxist is like a iron cross to a vampire.

They will ignore the endorsement. Id the election were fair and you got equal coverage for each (not all negative for one and all positive for the other) this wouldn’t be close.

Or, even better, a silver cross. Vampires hate silver.

Most anti-Trump Twitter posters probably fled when it became X. Many who stayed may have actually learned something that Exposed and refuted the lies of the left.

Polls are polls.

I am absolutely sure most all polls that are reported in any media are moderately to massively manipulated to Disinform the public about their peers support for Marxist Socialism and the Politicians that intend to impose it worldwide.

Without question a poll by Musk on X would be more accurate than any from traditional Western polling organizations, all of whom are biased to the Left.

If that were not the case, the Media would cover the poll so they could rub it in with We-Told-You-So! when THEIR polls were correct.

No they won't. Rather, he will be characterized as racist, weird, and someone who is ostracized by his family.

Very significant Surrender Monkeys. The break down of those that listened said 70% yes 70% of the one BILLION listeners were 24 - 35. Trump is down 30 points with this group as per gaslighting bull shiite polls.

True, this is not a scientific poll and really isn’t newsworthy, but if the results showed Harris at 75% it would have been ballyhooed throughout the entirety of the Establishment media.

It happens on Instagram every so often also.

The Trump vote ranges from 97 to 100%.

Granted these polls are small, a few thousand at best, but it
is interesting to me that the Left allows them to stand up in
that condition.

I’m thinking they aren’t paid to do that type of thing. LOL
