Contributing sentiments towards policy:

67% : Earlier today, Trump sent out this fundraising email:Friend, before I do anything else, I had to get this off my chest:THANK YOU!
58% : In an excellent new essay at the New York Times, political scientist Stephen Fish highlights how the Democratic Party and its leaders' communication and leadership styles put them at a marked disadvantage in a battle with Donald Trump, the Republican Party and the neofascist movement:Psychologists have noted the effectiveness of dominance in elections and governing.
57% : Because Trump is ruled by an obsessive need for power and adoration, the support he seeks takes the form of lots of money from his followers, their undying loyalty to him, and voting him back into the White House where, as promised, he will become the country's first dictator.
54% : On Kristi Noem's puppy execution (which she has doubled down on), Trump had this to say:"Until this week, she was doing incredibly well and she got hit hard and sometimes you do books and you have some guy writing a book and you maybe don't read it as carefully.
52% : "The following is a statement from Biden-Harris 2024 Spokesperson James Singer:"At the Biden campaign, we are proudly anti-puppy-killing and don't think those who murder puppies are 'terrific.'
52% : In terms of money raised, Biden's fundraising has been much more effective than Donald Trump and the Republican Party's.
49% : Republicans, however, know that political arguments are actually mostly won based on emotions and storytelling.
48% : Mr. Trump uses entertaining and provocative parlance and calls opponents -- and even allies -- weak, gutless and pathetic.
44% : What the Times/Siena poll of seven swing states made clear was that every Democratic senator up for re-election in those states had a clear lead over their Republican opponents, while the president was trailing Trump in six of those seven.
35% : President Biden's campaign sent out this email last week:Trump Defends Kristi Noem's Puppy KillingAt the Biden campaign, we are proudly anti-puppy killingOn the same day Joe Biden stood up for American workers, Donald Trump chose to take a break from visiting freshman pledges and his personal issues to give an interview to the Clay and Buck Show.
29% : In addition, one can focus in on Donald Trump, both the man and the symbol, as having no redeeming qualities and as embodying almost everything wrong with American society.
27% : President Biden and his campaign strategists are now taking Donald Trump to task for his support of Republican Gov. Kristi Noem of South Dakota, who shot her family dog, a puppy, to death and then, like a serial killer in training, bragged about the heinous act in her new book.
22% : "When they go low, we go high" will not defeat Donald Trump and the neofascist MAGA movement and their forces in 2024.
14% : One can reasonably describe Donald Trump and his MAGA fascist movement as one of the worst things to ever happen to the United States (these are actually self-inflicted wounds).
13% : A review of the Biden fundraising and other campaign emails I have received these last few weeks does show some increased urgency about the existential threat that Donald Trump and the MAGA movement represent to American society.
12% : As I have repeatedly warned (and will continue to) in my more than eight years of writing about the Trumpocene and the larger democracy crisis: sick societies produce sick leaders - and American society and Donald Trump are very sick, indeed
9% : Polls continue to show a virtual tie between President Biden and Donald Trump.
