Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

still splitting it by the meaningless metric of political party

And they don't even show the "moderately proud", "only a little proud", or "not proud at all" lines.

Here's the actual June 2025 result

In other words, the chauvinism is still going strong. But who knows about the polling methodology.

Props to the fence-sitters at "only a little proud" for hedging their bets.

And I'm a little proud to be an American.
Where at least I'm free for now.
And I'll sometimes recall the men who died.
Just to ensure access to the developing world's resources for me.
And I'll probably stand up next to you.
And offer tepid praise.
Cause there are some doubts I love this land.
The US is just okay!

"Which of these options do you feel represents you? America - Great country or America - Greatest country ?"

I'll give them a tiny amount of slack in that they probably need to keep the question consistent over a long period of time (going back to at least 2001 according to this chart). But it is absolutely agree it's a totally chauvinist/jingo question.
