You know what?

Post by bloobs »

I am no psychoanalyst (even though i'm sure some people have called me either a psycho or anal at some point) but I would like to know (because i am nosey) more about you lovely people that make up this here great fountain of knowledge (supposedly) called TSPCENTER.

I would appreciate it much if you respond to my ANONYMOUS poll question. Consider me your friendly neighborhood survey census taker (contactless, of course).

And no, I have not been trained in psychology or census taking--but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night (oh wait....nvm).

You know what, not many places where you can get drunk early on a Friday, and start a crazy poll.
You know this poll is not worth a hoot. Like the ones leading up to 2016. Everyone knows you are a liberal, and that’s going to bias the responses. I think most of these people are down the middle, with a little lean.
You would better off starting one pushing Biden. You guys need to start early, next time with a viable candidate.

First, thanks for submitting the first vote lols.

I am not sure what you perceive to be my political leanings has to do with me compiling immutable raw data from people about their voting record. The objective objective (see what I did there lol) of my poll is for me (and others here who care) to better understand more about the folks here are--not to pass judgement on anyone--hence that's why it's anonymous. Don't hurt me; I come here to understand.

For the record, I have voted for both republican and democratic candidates equally--especially in local and state elections--so I kinda feel slighted when you wrote "you guys need to start early...with a viable candidate"--as if i am some secret card carrying member of a of die-hard "liberal cult" as that guy PhilJohn tends to repeatedly rant about (sans evidence or explanation) like some autistic child seeking comfort from the ever-increasing din of cognitive dissonance that afflicts him.

Regardless of party, religion, race, gender, or nationality, I lean towards people who value honesty, reason, purpose, and a need to help those less fortunate above others; I admire those values; always have. I give people like that the credit they deserve; and take it away form those who do not. In the old days, those qualities made one a boy or girl scout. Nowadays, those traits are considered virtues of the weak and easily gullible. How sad.

Anyways, the Guiness awaits and happy 8-)

I'm not really liberal or conservative, but I'm definitely not a Trump fan, ever since he cost me a bunch of money when I got suckered into his casino stock. That's back when he ended up getting kicked his own board after driving the business into the ground.

The way I voted in 2016 is not one of the options in your poll.

I don't know if the result will be that lopsided, but I have no doubt that Trump will win. It only takes 270 to win, and he's got that many securely in the bank.

Are third-party voters are the same folks who go to 7-11 and mix all of the slurpee flavors together and pretend to like it?
