Sat Feb 18, 2017, 08:31 AM
Feb 2017

... the results are irrelevant to those taking the so-called survey. I may feel cathartic and rewarding to go through the motions of "letting them have it" and trying to penetrate the walls of their bubble, but I doubt anyone will read (or care) what was selected or written.

They just want your contact info and possible donation at the end. (It's similar to the clicky-clicky polls we saw during the primaries and during the election. Only, for those it was often unclear what the poll-taker's motive or affiliation was. Fortunately, in this case, it's pretty clear what he's doing.)

And YES!! It's pretty clear that EVERYTHING is getting underneath his skin ... is very thin skin.

Not just because its not a scientific poll, but they also want your ID, which will be added to the potential donor database here:


Paid for by the Trump Make America Great Again Committee, a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and the Republican National Committee.

That's true whether or not you're using an ad blocker. You can't get around it unless you're using a proxy server.

HTML forms include the ip address in the submission as a superglobal session variable. And if they're using PHP to handle the form (which they almost certainly are), if they're not using $_POST and instead using $_GET, all the information is sent unencrypted.

They're going to get all turned around on all those double negatives.

It's amazing how revealing those questions are of their paranoia and persecution complexes. It's Martyrbation all the way down.

Oh... and if you clear your browser cache and dump active cookies, you can keep redoing that survey for as long as you can bear to berate them. It is totally worth opening another browser and doing this for a while. (I am home sick today, and have no voice so can't even make calls.)

Allow me to provide a zip code resource : http://www.unitedstateszipcodes.org/az/ (sub whatever state postal abbreviation you like), a fake name generator http://www.fakenamegenerator.com and an email trick -- use the fake last name, then the first initial, and @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com or @gmail.com

What movement is that? The one to destroy ACA. SS. Medicare. Medicaid. The EPA. Regulations. Unions. Our right to vote. Tax cuts for the wealthy and destoying the middle class...That movement? Sounds more like you are taking a bowel movement on America.

I used my junk email account and my real zip (in a red zone!)

I am pretty sure they will not tabulate my answers. When they asked what my sources for news were I said: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and This Week Tonight with John Oliver.

There was one question about how I felt about getting questions from lesser known sites and I said I did not like those sites, they look fake.

I just make a practice of using my real name and other information when I take the time to fill out something like that. I'm not ashamed of my opinion, nor am I worried about any consequences for doing so.

Internet anonymity is really pretty much just a myth, anyhow.

our founding fathers protected freedom of the press in the Constitution and clearly wanted the people to have access to a free press. They would not want a president trying to control the media, and any president who does so should be impeached.

I'm sure those weren't the answers he wanted.

Hope everyone will kick this thread and take the poll.
