It's just funny seeing the extremists of both ends of the political spectrum tearing their golden children (AOC, DeSantis, etc) to shreds. This country might still have a chance if we just take rug off from under their feet by eliminating social media platforms altogether since they seem to bring the worst in people and also facilitate the circulation of propaganda.

Crazy. :wacko:

I'm not sure how much traction this "AOC is not bold progressive enough"-sentiment really has. Could just be a bunch of loons.

By contrast, the hard antivaxxers probably make up at least 10-15% of the GOP base, so if these turn on DeSantis, that could easily have a tangible effect on his 2024 ambitions... it could even screw his 2022 reelection bid in a state like Florida.

DeSantis is killing all of his supporters with his shitty policy. Florida and Louisiana topping Covid-19 deaths, and it is completely elective...they opted in for more pandemic. Its really annoying they are dragging this out as long as they can.

31% of Republicans say they are unlikely to ever get the COVID-19 vaccine: poll
Bryan Metzger 3 hours ago

A new poll found that 17% of Americans –– including 31% of Republicans –– say they're unlikely to ever get the COVID vaccine.

31% of self-identified Republicans say they will likely never get vaccinated against COVID-19, according to newly released polling from Monmouth University. A bare majority of Republicans — 51% — have received at least one dose.

In contrast, 92% of self-identified Democrats have gotten at least one shot, and just 2% say they'll never get the shot. Furthermore, 85% of Democrats said they would support reimposing social distancing guidelines in their states.

Altogether, 17% of Americans say they're unlikely to get the shot, while another 11% say they want to "see how it goes" or will get it as soon as possible.

The polling underscores a deep partisan divide in Americans' willingness to get vaccinated and an ongoing challenge for public health officials amid a surge in the Delta variant, a highly contagious version spreading rapidly among the US's vast unvaccinated population.


At the same time, public health officials face credibility issues: 59% of all Americans say that federal health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been giving mixed messages about the risks of the virus.

And just because people are getting vaccinated doesn't mean they're less worried; Monmouth found that 57% of all Americans who have received one dose are worried about catching a new variant of the virus, while just 47% of people who remain on the fence are worried about variants. Unsurprisingly, just 16% of those who are vehemently opposed to getting vaccinated worried about catching a new variant.

52% of the public supported reimposing social distancing measures and 65% of Americans were worried about another surge of the virus if not enough people got vaccinated. The poll surveyed 804 adults in the US from July 21 to 26, before the CDC announced new indoor masking recommendations for fully vaccinated people on July 27; the poll has a 3.5 percentage-point margin of error.

The poll suggests that the public will likely support new precautionary measures as state and local governments across the country reimpose indoor mask mandates and advisories.

The bolded seems like a made up number.

cites a different recent poll which showed around half of all blacks and hispanics to be unvaccinated. Since at least 40% of Biden voters were poc, this suggests that the poll you are citing suffers from an oversampling of white liberals/the "Karen demographic".

Well fully vaccinated isn't the same as partially vaccinated so maybe the discrepancy stems from that.

For these two polls to be compatible, black and hispanic Democrats would need to have not much more than 60% fully vaccinated, but 85+% partially vaccinated. Given the timeframe between the jabs, that's highly unlikely.
