I just updated my personal Mastodon server to the latest 4.3.4 version. It was a bit bumpier due to needing to upgrade some dependencies, but one major change for folks who modify the number of poll options, this is now handled inside app/validators/poll_options_validator.rb

According to David Coletto at Abacus this morning, only 48% of Conservative voters in Canada disapprove of Trump.
Less than half of them. #cdnpoli #polls
That's why the overall percentage of Canadians with a negative view of Trump (68%) is not higher.
Liberal (79%), NDP (82%), and BQ (94%)

So either:
1) the majority of con voters are quislings, or
2) Abacus respondents who identify as cons are not representative of Con voters.
It cannot be both.

"To show you how much those paying attention aren’t happy, let me walk through some early #polls...

Bottom line: as you find yourself appalled, day after day, by what is happening, never let the #FarRight convince you that you are somehow in the minority.

Most #Americans agree with you.
