Conservative and I generally support the GOP. However, I would not vote for Trump anymore, nor Biden. We need somebody fresh and under the age of 150 years old.
A REAL leader and not someone selected because they are a woman or POC or the latest Victim Class Du JourTM. I want the best man/woman for the job.
Always the problem with these anonymous polls is there are people that will vote in them to purposely skew the results.

One could be a die hard environmentalist and not support either of the corporate-backed major political parties. I don't think they would be considered moderate.How does a moderate differ from an independent?
I think he was implying that obvious right leaning posters would vote lib to keep the "extreme left board" shtick going.The two conservatives are made up
Maybe my assumptions are wrong, but I thought an independent just doesnt latch on to a party and judges each issue on it's own merit.One could be a die hard environmentalist and not support either of the corporate-backed major political parties. I don't think they would be considered moderate.
Bernie Sanders is an independent.How does a moderate differ from an independent?
I think "Independent" means just that they don't think they fit in any of the political parties. Could be many reasons for that.Maybe my assumptions are wrong, but I thought an independent just doesnt latch on to a party and judges each issue on it's own merit.
A moderate leans more liberal, but is still center of the spectrum.
So we all agree now that polls are useless?I think he was implying that obvious right leaning posters would vote lib to keep the "extreme left board" shtick going.
Haha, right!The two conservatives are made up
Anonymous polls with this small of a sample size is.So we all agree now that polls are useless?
Yep, it’s all a hoax!I think he was implying that obvious right leaning posters would vote lib to keep the "extreme left board" shtick going.
No, I wouldn't go that far.So we all agree now that polls are useless?
I didn't say I agreed with what he was saying.Yep, it’s all a hoax!![]()
Yea, so is ranking football players and every other predictive analysis because it's not 100% accurate all the time.So we all agree now that polls are useless?
Statistically speaking yes. Even larger polls have needed tweaking in methodology to account for such things beyond the margin of error. A sample this small…yeah, ripe for corruption.Anonymous polls with this small of a sample size is.
And it may not be in this particular poll. I find the discussion of people’s answers to be more compelling though in most of these threads. Gives the nuance to thingsI didn't say I agreed with what he was saying.
Did you ever know that you’re my hero?I'm a moderate (or close enough) who currently supports the Democratic party.
I wouldn't vote for Trump or a Trumpist (e.g., DeSantis, Cruz) no matter what.
I'd vote for Biden over any Trumpist, though I'd prefer someone younger (e.g., Buttigieg). I don't love Harris, just like I didn't love Clinton, but I'd vote for either one over a Trumpist.
I abhor authoritarianism and corruption. I think liberal democracy is the way to go.
Right now, it seems like the Republican party is determined to excommunicate anyone who doesn't promote the Big Lie. That's a deal-breaker. Republicans on the ballot aren't a consideration until that nonsense stops.
Yeah - I still don’t understand the difference between these in the context of the first question. Independent seems more like the “None” answer to #2.Max Power said:How does a moderate differ from an independent?
squistion said:Because it is anonymous we have no idea if this a true reflection of this forum, that we keep being told is 90% left leaning. For all we know, the usual suspects could be voting the opposite of what they think to reinforce this narrative (yeah, it can cut both ways but somehow I doubt it works out that way in practice).
Give us a poll where the voters have to identify themselves and I will be less skeptical of the results.
What results are you skeptical about?squistion said:Thanks. I was about to say the same thing.

In all seriousness, I posted a couple of public polls last year. Certain members of the Trump crew voted in those polls, likely not realizing they were public, and voted the exact opposite of how they post. Those polls were removed by the moderators once it was pointed out that the Trump crew was attempting (and failing due to it being public) to skew the results.What results are you skeptical about?
The results seem pretty much in line. 85% said they would not vote for Trump . That seems about right.In all seriousness, I posted a couple of public polls last year.

I'm sure that GB will be along momentarily to post a loading emoji.
I also see that some of the fiercest libs haven't voted in the public poll. Our poll results are likely skewed more by our selective demographic rather than any intentional tampering. We are highly intelligent men of culture and the results reflect that. According to us, the Republican party is doomed if they allow Trump anywhere near the election in 2024. Biden still has adequate support.Look at the public poll. The Trump crew is largely absent. The numbers are skewed because of it.
How do we know some of the scores of left wingers aren’t claiming to be right-wingers so they can scream “blatant falsehood” when the 85/15 percent is used?Ramblin Wreck said:What is skewed?
