Read. the. linked. article.

During post-debate coverage, Telemundo anchors displayed a poll showing that 66% of Spanish speaking viewers thought Trump emerged victorious, compared to 34% who thought Biden won.

It was a poll at that point in time with those viewers who participated. I guess it’s correctly stated. Why are you disputing it?

No, it wasn’t a poll. It was a survey. A poll is something specific; this was not a poll.

Why is this so important to you?
 
Every time the subject of voting third party instead of the “lesser of two evils” comes up.

From your Merriam-webster ink:

(Please Note: This uploaded content is no longer available.)

From my linked article - Telemundo had an informal survey of viewers, not a “canvassing of persons selected at random”

A good rule of thumb for a poll is that if anyone can weigh in on it and can encourage other people to participate as well, it’s not going to yield a useful result. When Telemundo announced the results of its informal survey, it deliberately pointed out that the results weren’t scientific, slightly moderating the uselessness of sharing such information in the first place.
 
Guys, while this is a thread about politics, this thread is about CA’s handling regarding them and not politics in general. Please stay on topic and move your debates to any of the other dozen political threads opened right now about the debates and/or politics in general.
 
Welcome to the forum. I will say you are not wrong, but the forums are mostly separate from CA’s political activities. That said, there is a pretty strong right bias here, but that is mostly because of the posters, not the platform.

Trump was asked last night about overturning Roe vs Wade and his response was “there’s nothing happening there”

He said the quiet part out loud once again.

There currently appears to be one vote on the Court to overturn (Thomas). If Barrett votes to overturn (a big “if”) that will be two. The truth is that both parties use RvW as fodder for fund raising, but the Court is not close to overturning it.
 
I agree that the USA needs at least 4 or 5 parties, viable legitimate parties and not just 2. Election years have been really really nasty the past 20 years and this is the worst I’ve ever seen. And I know it’s going to get worse.

It’s nearly impossible to make any kind of statement these days without it being interpreted as supportive of one or the other.
 
A lot of third party voters have been subjected to heavy handed treatment here in this forum where posters insinuate that voting third party is a vote for the abortionists, aka Democrats, and is just as sinful.

Any vote for a party other than Republican is unCatholic.

I’m thinking of voting for the Solidarity party. I am a registered Republican but I can’t stand this party now.

I have not seen this so-called bias at all. I have explored the Constitutional party, the Libertarian party.

If one makes accusations or allegations, we need to back them up.

I have seen this bias very clearly in the post leading up to the 2016 elections.

I am not going to all the way to dig up posts from way back when.

Just because you personally do not see it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Yes, and you can doubt me if I say this; but I think at times, they have shown a liberal bias as well.

We all have biases. Do you agree with that?

Do Catholics still support Trump World News
So im other words you watched on the sidelines while me, priest, nuns, bishops, cardinals and righteous Catholics try to save lives? Voting 3rd party was a cop out. Voting 3rd party was saying " "ok little embryos hopefully you get saved by others but i won’t help you because the other guy(Trump) said some locker room talk about 20 years ago in a trailer and that hurts me, so hopefully the Nuns, deacons priest cardinals could save you , good luck little cuties" Oh please i don’t know if you k…

No but we had to make a statement look at the statistics 55 million babies killed. When does it Stop It was a sacrificial vote why can’t you understand that. Your not in sin for voting 3rd party but it was a bad choice to sit on the sidelines. Just because you watch Hockey doesn’t make you a hockey player. You say your pro-life but you don’t want to take the hit.

Really? People may not perceive it that way. You’ve said multiple times that third party votes are “cop-outs”, that the people who casted them “stayed on the sidelines”, and that we didn’t “sacrifice” and vote for Trump. You then post something saying how Catholics need to fight the good fight, which is true, we need to do. Altogether, that looks like cowardice. At the minimum, you’re saying we’re selfish and lazy.

So say Hillary would’ve won and she opened up more abortion clinics, how would you have felt knowing your sacrificial vote(Trump) could of saved those babies ?

I’ve gotten into arguments about it on this site. Here’s one topic where I argued about it in 2018. It’s a bit long, but there for you to check.

I’m also voting Solidarity for the indefinite future but I’ve accepted the fact that the discussion on 3rd Parties is pretty much going to be drowned out almost anywhere and that’s unfortunate but I’m at peace with it. The American public is bombarded and inundated with the Blue Team v Red Team mentality on media, in school, at family gatherings, etc.; it’s pretty much inescapable and that also includes Catholic circles. So yeah, kindness and compassion and realistic expectations are in order and that means not being surprised or disappointed or judgmental when 3rd parties are ignored. That’s just life is all.

Peace.
