I got an online Democrat oriented poll just now. Evidently, we black folks are still expected to be in lock step with the Democrats. Most all of the questions asked were typical talking points with the words “ As a Black American” included. I’m afraid that my answers were NOT what the pollster wanted to hear! Examples:

1. Do you think Nancy Mace (my Congresswoman) is in touch with Black Americans? She’s doing OK as far as representing ME

2. Republicans attacking the ACA have driven up medical costs for Black Americans. Do you agree that Democrats would be more likely to manage healthcare for BA? No, things would get worse

3. Donald Trump supports tax cuts for billionaires and millionaires at the expense of average Americans. Do you feel Democrats would be better at tax policy? I can quote my exact response: “Over 50% of Americans pay nothing in federal taxes. Our government needs to be better at controlling the tax revenue that is already generated.”

This particular poll had the usual Agree/Disagree click to respond replies, but some questions had space for more through responses and I took full advantage.

I doubt if my name/number comes up on their contact list again!

I’m sorry friend.

They will now call you an Uncle Tom on their list.

So some racism and all lies.



The democrat way.



BTW, do you think Harris was in touch with the Black or Asian communities? I saw one of those clips where she said, I grew up like you. A black dude was like, I didn't go to fricking college. No we didn't grow up the same.

Ah, the standard Push Poll.

Do you enjoy Republicans fricking you over?

A: Yes, because “you ain’t black”
B: Hell No, frick Whitey, and please take my donation

I can assure you that your responses have been relegated to the round filing cabinet

You get back on the plantation right this instance!

Cheers to being a free thinker We definitely need more of your line of thinking in our crap party.

Is your family more or less like you or no?

I get 3 or 4 fundraiser emails from the Dems ever day and that sentence is included in about 70% of them.
The biggest change in the last 15 years of these emails is the dollar amount. The emails used end in 'Send just $10 today'. This year it finishes with "Send just $2 today."

I always get polled by the dems. They think I'm a black man named Emmitt from Tuscaloosa.

That’s what they call a “push poll”. It’s not meant to sample people; it’s meant to push people to vote for democrats.

I fkn despise loaded questions like this that intentionally mislead people. ANY tax cut can be called a 'tax cut for the rich' because of the way tax brackets work. Most people don't seem to understand or realize that.

Holy shite! Talk about leading you with those loaded questions! So that's how polls end up getting things so wrong.

Not one bit. She was the female Obama with absolutely NO political skills.
