It is election season here in America right now, specifically presidential election. One of the things that comes along with the election are anonymous polls.
These polls come in many forms-
By mail
By online questionnaire
By phone.
This year I have not received a mail in poll, but I have done both online and over the phone. Normally the questions are very basic, very neutral, and very easy to understand.
But the ones I’ve done this year? OOOOH boy. NOPE, they couldn’t have been more twisted, sideways, and backwards, questions confusing and convoluted.
“On a scale of 1-10 How bad did Trump handle the pandemic”
“On a scale of 1-10 How much better would Biden handle the pandemic”
“Based off of tax code 134411231322 Trump was able to write off all of his income and only pay $1 in taxes. on a scale of 1-10, how bad does that make you feel?”
It’s I guess you can make the polls say anything you want if you ask the right questions.
If you want to know what I think, it’s this: both the democrats AND the republicans in the US have lost the ability to represent the people in the US, They are too long standing, too corrupt, and too powerful. They control the narrative, they control the story. They don’t care about the real truth, they only care about what you think the truth is, so you give them more power and more money (which are one in the same, in a lot of ways). More people need to seriously consider a 3rd party. For the first time in my voting life, a third party is on the ballot in all 50 US states. If everybody who is sick of left and right politics were to vote third party, that candidate would stand a STRONG chance of winning. and that is where my vote is going.
