Just accidentally got into the Hillary group

[salimbag]

Wow! A large part of the thread was just knocks on Bernie. I have not seen the same thing here in this group. Thank you Bernie supporters! By the way, has anyone here ever been a poll respondent? I have never been part of any poll, and don't know anyone who has. Who do they poll, and where are they?

1. I have never been polled and know noone that has been polled

occaisonally someone will ask if I want movie tickets but where and how are all these polls shallow fan glommers quote take place .I was told for 8 years that Reagan was pollwd as god of all things shiny or some TV show is watched by billions every week .Hillary gets alot of press mostly because the stock footage is free .

4. I represent the percentage of the population that hangs up on pollsters. n/t

6. +1. nm

13. A pollster called me and dove right in. When she took a breath, I said, "Before we go any further,

how many questions will you be asking me. She said she had no idea. I said, Yes, you do. How many. She lied again about not knowing. THEN I hung up.

I don't hang up right away because I figure the caller might need the money. But, don't lie to me and don't expect me to give you a half hour of my time for free so your employer can bill someone for big bucks.

17. Me too!

2. I have. Depends on who is paying for the poll how good the questions are.

For instance, a question might read, 'do you support the killing of unborn babies?' and the same question, if someone on our side is funding the poll would be 'do you support access to abortion services for all women?'

This is why we should take most polls with a grain of salt - that is an extreme above, but questions are nuanced, tilted just a little bit to elicit the response those paying for the poll want.

As to the Hillary thread - you've been bad. Very bad. It is their 'safe haven,' presumably from the rest of us who might support other Dem candidates. I usually leave them alone. I heard somewhere on here that DU members support Bernie by something like 85% to Hillary's 15%.

8. My bad for sure

Just clicked on the thread without knowing it was the hrc group. I never go there intentionally, now I know why!

3. Now go take a shower.

The feces throwing in there is vile.

9. Good advice!

I feel much better, but there is still a residual odor.

5. I think we're trying to follow Bernie's

example and not trash talk about HRC. It's very difficult for me, though. But as for her minions, what a bunch. The snark level is sky-high.

7. I've done that, and seen that. I like the Bernie group...n/t

10. I trashed that forum after I was banned for asking a very simple question...

Absolute fealty is required. Anything less results in immediate banning.

11. I usually go to latest threads when I start checking in.

When I get to a thread that seems like a grade school level of discussion, I usually just move on. I do not, usually, stay on that thread. It is so much easier to move on to something more interesting. I am a Bernie supporter but I have not problem with Hillary running our country if she wins.

12. Remember that a lot of people acidentally get into this group too

They click on something on the greatest page without taking care to note that it is in a protected group. That got be banned from the Obama group and the Clinton group. Previously I deliberately visited those groups only to post positive articles that I ran across.

14. I've been polled. Who they poll and where depends on the poll.

[RoccoR5955]

15. When they cannot beat you on issues

they just insult you.
I tried to hide a post where someone called Bernie "crazy."
I said that it was disruptive that someone be allowed to insult a legitimate Democratic Party candidate.
The post was not hidden.

16. Never been polled, don't know anyone who has. nt
