    So when more Americans vote for Biden, that's not common sense...

    ...but when a bunch of folks in a survey say what you want to hear...

    ...suddenly common sense is something you can count on?

    "As a representative online sample" means that people who chose to vote

    Hey Fool, have you EVER heard of "buyer's remorse?"

    Just trying to understand what passes for your logic, Sunshine.

    Plus poorly worded survey questions can result in responses that
    don't follow what you were expecting, which invalidates the survey.

    Case in point, I'm of the opinion that if Trump had been reelected that
    Putin would not have performed a military invasion ... BUT not because
    Putin would *not* have achieved his same goal of taking over Ukraine:
    Putin simply would not have needed to send in a literal invasion force.

    Why? Because Trump would have handed over Ukraine to Putin without a fight.

    As Napoleon once said: “let us wait a little; when your enemy is executing
    a false movement, never interrupt him.”

    Trump's policies and actions was doing Putin's work for him, and since
    Putin was no fool, Putin wouldn't have _needed_ to have an invasion army
    to accomplish his goals.

    Furthermore, Ukraine would have been merely the first step: Trump was
    angling to abolish NATO completely, so the rest of the former USSR
    eastern blok countries would have been at risk of Russian takeovers,
    just as Ukraine is today.

    TL;DR summary: if Trump had been elected, Ukraine still would have
    been lost to Russia before 2025.

    Nope.

    'bloc

    noun

    a free-trade bloc: alliance, association, coalition, federation,
    confederation, league, faction, union, partnership, body, group,
    grouping; ring, syndicate; concordat, entente, axis; party, camp, lobby,
    wing, cabal, clique, coterie, caucus.'

    That's from the New Oxford American Dictionary.

    Perhaps you'd prefer Merriam-Webster:

    'bloc noun
    \ ˈbläk \
    Definition of bloc
    1a: a temporary combination of parties in a legislative assembly
    b: a group of legislators who act together for some common purpose

    common interest or purpose
    a bloc of voters
    b: a group of nations united by treaty or agreement for mutual support
    or joint action
    3: a quantity, number, or section of things dealt with as a unit : BLOCK

    Why? Because Trump would have handed over Ukraine to Putin without a fight.

    As Napoleon once said: “let us wait a little; when your enemy is executing
    a false movement, never interrupt him.”

    Trump's policies and actions was doing Putin's work for him, and since >>>> Putin was no fool, Putin wouldn't have _needed_ to have an invasion army

    You libtards consistently call polls that you don't like wrong. You stopped criticizing the Rasmussen poll when it had the HIGHEST rating for Lyin' Biden (even though it was still pretty bad).

    BTW, it is spelled BLOCK, not BLOK.
    Actually, you're wrong.

    In that usage, it's normally spelled "bloc".

    You mean "misspelled"
    Nope.

    'bloc

    noun

    a free-trade bloc: alliance, association, coalition, federation, confederation, league, faction, union, partnership, body, group,
    grouping; ring, syndicate; concordat, entente, axis; party, camp, lobby, wing, cabal, clique, coterie, caucus.'

    That's from the New Oxford American Dictionary.

    Perhaps you'd prefer Merriam-Webster:

    'bloc noun
    \ ˈbläk \
    Definition of bloc
    1a: a temporary combination of parties in a legislative assembly
    b: a group of legislators who act together for some common purpose irrespective of party lines
    2a: a combination of persons, groups, or nations forming a unit with a common interest or purpose
    a bloc of voters
    b: a group of nations united by treaty or agreement for mutual support
    or joint action
    3: a quantity, number, or section of things dealt with as a unit : BLOCK
    … seeking to buy and sell a large bloc of shares …

    Don't you ever get tired of losing?

    You could have just checked before posting.

    LOL! Don't you have better things to do with your time, like figuring out that you totally WASTED all that time you spent wearing masks, or WHO has caused your REAL INCOME to drop?

    How was it time consuming to wear a mask? You must have been doing
    wrong.

    You truly are just a demented old fool, Betty.
