Which would you prefer?

[PeachyKeane]

That's not the question, although I think that's what he wants to be able to claim.

No, actually Rob kinda hit it on the head.

 

[Hammster]

Because he might get to implement that policy into law.

So what’s with the ruse of making it a Republican candidate running for re-election? Why not change the OP to ask about Candidate A is running for re-election, and Candidate B might win?

 

[PeachyKeane]

This question goes all the way back to the Charlottesville incident, when many came out saying they wouldn't support Antifa just because they opposed Neo-Nazis.

Not really. It's about people not being able to answer the question as written.

There's a reason. I can tell you privately, if you'd like.

What’s your opinion on why it’s being answered?

Sure.

If you had simply put "Neither, I'd not vote for someone who radically changed their policies to win" then the poll would be slanted very heavily in that favor.

Or “White Nationalist so hopefully it would cause the sell-out to lose”.

That's not an option.

It has been brought to my attention that my question is flawed because I've poisoned the well. I don't see that. You have two options, and even the option to pass.

How has the well been poisoned?

It's not really poisoning the well, so much as either/or aka black or white thinking. If you have to herd people to get your "gotcha" moment, then it really isn't a gotcha moment. You're having to purposefully limit the most logical choices people would make to try and justify your own biases.

Then select 'I can't decide'.

Then select 'I can't decide'.

But I can decide, you just refuse to accept it as a valid decision.

 

[Hammster]

My wife and I used to play a certain card game. I won most of the games. If you simply asked the question “Have you stopped beating your wife yet?”, and only gave the options of Yes or No, any answer I gave would give a wrong impression.

The OP is similar.

 

[Hammster]

Then select 'I can't decide'.

It gives the impression that I can’t decided what I like/dislike more...Democrats or White Nationalists. And that’s not the issue.

 

[PeachyKeane]

Great. Which of the two options do you choose?

 

[PeachyKeane]

It gives the impression that I can’t decided what I like/dislike more...Democrats or White Nationalists. And that’s not the issue.

I would have thought that it makes it look like you can't decide whether Democrats or White Nationalists have more agreeable policies.

So, which policy option do you choose?

 

[High Fidelity]

Wow, there are actually 3 votes for white nationalists...

 

[Hammster]

I would have thought that it makes it look like you can't decide whether Democrats or White Nationalists have more agreeable policies.

But that’s not the question. If it was, it would be the OP without the little story that goes with it.
