I vote in all these polls to help bring attention to whoever I support.

At least until legions of Hillary supporters/trolls discover the polls existence...
Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Except, for some reason, they rarely do.
I am not sure if showing support for their candidate in an online poll is beneath them or they just do not do any research (given they are gaga over HRC, probably the latter).

I think the online Hillary supporter is built largely of
pesona's meant to exaggerate their legion. Just think about LOF. We had 65-70% support over there but the vocal bullying minority were able to somehow force us out. Just like the DNC has a finger on the scale in our primary process, so does Lil Nap and his Hillary operatives at that place. I have lurked around a couple times lately and it looks like some pretty lame rec listed items. Even teacherken's 'look what someone else wrote' diaries are making it to the top of the list, what a lame joke that place became.

@kharma I check it out
as part of my daily rounds (I don't log in or comment, because why bother, there is nothing interesting over there to comment on) just to see what the daily talking points are since I would bet it is now a cog in the Brock machine. I'm also trying to monitor how concerned they are about Jill Stein as the new pilot for the Rebel Alliance and what defcon level they rise to against her.

Another for Stein! Take that, polidad!
That was worth getting up for!

Anyone else having an impossible time keeping up with your feelings about this election? I'm almost embarrassed to admit it, because I feel like I'm supposed to be all “here's my strong opinion, NO compromises!” But instead I'm like:
-Man, fuck this election. I can't watch.
-WOW, what a shitshow, I can't look away!
-Hillary. Is. The. Worst.
-NOPE, there's Trump, that guy's definitely the worst.
-No but really, I can't support Hillary.
-WAIT. Do I have to support Hillary???
-God, I'm sick of all this misogyny in criticisms of Hillary.
-“Superpredators”?? You know what, bitch...
-Don't tell me who to vote for, BERNIE BROS!
-Don't tell me who to vote for, WHITE FEMINISTS!
-Ahh shit, there's my president. Obama is so freakin' cool.
-Dammit, Obama's an imperialist just like the rest of 'em.
-Shit. I am gonna miss him, though.
-Am I allowed to miss him??
-No. Imperialist. I can't miss him.
-OMG TRUMP IS GONNA KILL US ALL.
-You know what? I will miss that Obama fellow after all.
-Conservatives are the worst!
-Oh god, who am I kidding, liberals aren't much better.
-This system is so fucked up, just forget the whole thing, I'm not voting.
-But I can't just not vote??
-OMG TRUMP IS GONNA KILL US ALL.
-Can we all not vote? Is that an option? Can we just...decline to have a president?
-I'm so mad that the first woman this close to the presidency is a warmonger.
-Ugh. There she is. “First woman nominated,” so what, this means nothing to me.
-Ugh. Why am I emotional? Does this mean something to me?
-WHY AM I CRYING??
-Did I really just cry over Hillary? God, what kind of self-respecting black activist...
-I'M GONNA MISS OBAMA.
-Why am I crying over Obama?? God, what kind of self-respecting anti-imperialist activist...
-My President is BLACK. I can be proud of that, right? Just a little? K, just a little...
-Fuck, there's Trump again. He's the one I should be crying about.
-This. Is. Terrifying. No matter what it takes, we have to keep Trump out of the White House.
-Is it really gonna take voting for Hillary, though? I don't know if I can do this...
-Okay. Okay, I got this. I'm just gonna go with this, I believe this whole process is bullshit, so I'm just not gonna participate.
-Trump. Could. Win. Fuck, I can't just not participate.
-This is the start of the apocalypse, isn't it?
-I gotta get some real survival skills. I don't think poetry's gonna cut it after the apocalypse.
-FUCK IT, I'm voting for Michelle. FLOTUS for POTUS!
-Maybe if I share my feelings on Facebook, people will help me sort them out.
-Oh no, I can't post about this election on Facebook, everyone will yell at me if I'm not as decisive as they are.
-Look, they're all yelling at each other! This election is tearing us apart.
-This election is fucked. I can't watch.
-But if I look away, will I miss the start of the apocalypse?
-I can't look away.
-WHY AM I CRYING?

I'm trying not to LOL here at the library
But I'm wanting to cry, too.
"I don't think poetry is gonna cut it after the apocalypse."
I can teach you how to hunt wild greens and skin a deer, if you'd like.
I voted Stein too.
Are you getting any rain ?
We wanted decent healthcare, a living wage and free college.
The Democrats gave us Biden and war instead.
Tons of rain. We just got our first real big rain.
And, of course, it flooded my crawlspace. And my shop. I wasn't expecting that. I have to try and rescue my workbench in the morning. Joiner was sitting on the floor, and is now toast. Soggy toast. But we're glad for the rain!

I figured if you guys (Az folks) were getting rain,
it should be on its way here. And it is, according to weather report. "Stray thunderstorms" anticipated for this afternoon, whatever that means. Thankfully, report shows temps in the 90's. We've been over 100 since June. I wonder why people keep saying, "It's never been this way before."
Voted Stein Too
... and found it very encouraging that thousands feel the same way. Thanks to all sharing here.

I loved that line until the Democrats took it as instruction
this year. It's no longer funny.

I voted for Stein twice as well.
Once because she deserves my vote and the second time to make up for the vote that got stolen from me in the California Democratic Primary.
It all balances out in the end.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
Thank you for voting!

I must have sensed that there was something wrong
on the internet and arose from my bed. The clatter was that poll or having to pee or both. I feel better now about retiring to my bed until later. Good morning.

The results from the same poll that they ran on
July 29 (final results):
In tonight's poll, Stein still well ahead, followed by Trump. (PS. I voted for Stein in the poll.)

Increased the count for Jill,
Increased the count for Jill, pushed over 52% for her! She may be gaining there, but it would rock to see that get spread!
So long, and thanks for all the fish
At the time of this post it she is up to
59.93.%

But where is Fox 43?
I know that it doesn't matter to the internet, but in reality it does. I don't go to an Atlanta news station unless something's gone viral, That sort of means that the earlier day's poll, where Stein got "only" 21% means something. Is it Nashville or Madison? and notice how badly Swillery did in the first poll. If Fox 43 is in Pittsburgh…
Thank Google - "south central Pennsylvania."
On to Biden since 1973
WPMT is out of York, PA
and covers Harrisburg, Hershey and Lancaster, PA as well as its home turf. Why that should make it attractive to pro-Stein voters is unknown.
Edit: It's probably quite meaningless, but Jill is up to 67%, with 17, 895 out of 26,695 votes. Invasion of the Green Freepers?
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Fascinating....
The poll is gone off the page, but there's a tweet with the Final Results:
The poll is dated 7/29, so did they post the poll results and forget to close the poll down? I'd say we shouldn't rely on this, it was probably freeped to start with, sad to say.
Yes, undoubtedly freeped.
But in a good way this time
If it were an actual scientific poll it would indicate that both Jill and Gary are polling at levels that would get them an invitation to the debates. That's my personal goal right now. Talk to A LOT of people about Jill and get her polling numbers up so we can get her on TV.
The people, united, will never be defeated.
it was pretty awesome to see it, though
so I'm glad this was posted--it's funny that someone hurried up to pull it down, lol!
I voted twice.
I can rationalize that for #1 son, enroute back from Taiwan. No guilt here. I am smiling.

Online media consumers was the biggest Bernie demographic
So it's not surprising that his natural heir is winning in an online poll. Since this is the demographic of the future, the long term outlook is good.

Jill's at 63% now
Wouldn't that be great!

None of the other three are at 15% at this point. n/t
TY, Magic 8 Ball Hawkfish!
The two Parties seem to not get e-communication or video capabilities of the angry masses. Too bad. Past sell-date.

POLL is a SHAM: you can vote multiple times!
I think you should do an update. I now voted for the third time....keep checking to see if I still can...and yes I can. Try it and report back and then update this diary or delete it. It could be a function of my browser's ability to reject cookies...but even so.
