WASHINGTON—Mere hours after the closure of the first 2020 presidential debate, an Onion-Zweibel Poll released Wednesday found that the vast majority of viewers agree America was a complete waste of time. “In the wake of the contentious clash between former Vice President Biden and President Donald Trump, we’re seeing nearly 63% of debate viewers expressing their strong feelings that the United States of America never should have happened in the first place,” said chief pollster Dr. Elias Ross, explaining that when discussing the existence of America, 53% of those surveyed described themselves as “annoyed” or “infuriated,” while 17% thought the country was a total waste of the past 243 years, and only 1% asserted that they continued to have neutral or positive feelings toward the nation. “Meanwhile, a plurality of our sample believe that we should take the unprecedented step of simply canceling America from here on out, saying that it contributed nothing of substance to their lives and actually made their outlook for the future substantially worse. Overall, these are very low numbers for America at this stage in the republic. Frankly, I can’t see how the country turns things around.” Ross added that one survey participant after viewing the 90-minute debate had even gone so far as to call Thomas Jefferson “unhinged” and “behaving like a crackhead” for ever putting forth the idea of representative democracy.\n

Trump wasn't a militia just North Korea and Russia. He doesn't want a free America he are country to bow down to him just like in Socialism. He is not a good man in anyway. I see no redeeming qualities iui es in this man and if can't see who he truly is it's really sad.

Nothing wrong with america, but like the UK you could stand a change of leadership, just as soon as you can find a decent alternative

Man I thought onion was a satire site

Failed experiment, should have canceled it sooner.

Well that was weird

Is that why so many people are trying to sneak in?

This isn't satire, unfortunately.

cameron_kasky If I am interpreting this correctly: then if you find America was waste of time - then, LEAVE the United States and go to a nation where you will be more comfortable.

More truth. You are nailing it today

It seems the Onions satirical bias is starting to become apparent.

Either we get rid of the USA or I'm praying for an asteroid for a quick death

bourgeoisalien So everyone died in the crash at the beginning?

I had to watch this whole thing and say what I learned from it for global studies and I honestly don’t know what to say that is appropriate for school.

neobabylon3 I prefer the term 'failed experiment'

cameron_kasky

Just make a new one. America 2

cameron_kasky the only way i would do another debate is to mute the opponent until the speaker has finished. makes perfect sense to me. anyone that does not want to apply by those rules can bug out. (re-tweet) (please) CNN CNNPolitics USATODAY usatodayDC MSNBC politico AP AARP NAACP

cameron_kasky the truth hurts Trump was a disgrace and embarrassing

The Onion has become an institution for the news, it seems...

This is an actual headline, I don't get the joke.

Stick to satire.

243 years to arrive at this, holy fuck! The Onion really knows how to bring a tear to your eye.

Wait I thought this was supposed to be a satire site

This tweet proves fact is stranger than fiction.

So now, when you know for sure that Trump is gonna win, 'America is a waste of time'? Satire much? Cry like an Onion, sting like a Babylon Bee!

Wait... this isn't fake?!

“Waste” is harsh. We’ve learned a lot of lessons we can use for the next attempt at democracy.

Your trolling skills are masterful

Onion no you're not supposed to write real news

Onion never dissapoints

ABSOLUTELY

TRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

You folks just can't hold a candle to reality. Sad. Horrifying.

They've given it a good go, but it's not worked out. Move on guys!

these clowns made the onion post a legitimate headline i hate it here

I thought this was supposed to be satire.

This isn’t satire

Malarkey!
