Oh lame it’s working from my phone - are you outside the US?

Can I come?

@PsyChuan @pwrmnstr may I suggest: web proxy located in the USA?

@ng0 @pwrmnstr you may, thank you!

@ng0 @PsyChuan thank you!

@pwrmnstr @PsyChuan they also seem not to check Emails for response back / existing.

@pwrmnstr @ng0 @PsyChuan

This survey requires that you enter an email— I recommend using a YOPmail / disposable email address 👍

@pwrmnstr @ng0 @PsyChuan

Also you can use multiple names, zip codes and YOPmails to fill out the survey over and over again 👍

@cryptograbear @pwrmnstr @PsyChuan THEY ARE FAKING MY POLLS, IN MY COUNTRY, ON MY WEBSITE! DARN SOCIALISTS!

@ng0
Put poll on the blobchain
@cryptograbear @PsyChuan @pwrmnstr

@succfemboi @pwrmnstr @PsyChuan @ng0 blobchain? 🤔

@cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan I recommend using phone numbers to old crappy jobs.

@pwrmnstr @ng0 @PsyChuan **phone number is “optional,” but yes some fun trolling could be had there

@cryptograbear @pwrmnstr @PsyChuan so as someone not living in the USA. Is this unique, or have other presidents done something like this before, not limited to the internet?

@ng0 @cryptograbear @PsyChuan it’s uniquely obtuse and binary

@ng0 @pwrmnstr @PsyChuan speaking as an anarchist... every electoral politician does icky crap like this to some extent.

But the last time we saw this kind of blatant red-baiting from a sitting president it was before widespread internet usage, so this is *kind* of unique to this particular president?

@ng0 @cryptograbear @pwrmnstr @PsyChuan my state Democratic party sends me surveys in the mail that use similar wording to lead respondents to the intended response

Just like the Trump poll linked here, at the end of the survey they ask for donations, which I'm pretty sure is the main reason for these things

@steven @ng0 @pwrmnstr @PsyChuan Yep, the main motivation is “Get them so angry they’ll open their wallet”

@cryptograbear @steven @pwrmnstr @PsyChuan the most I get here (Germany) is party Ads targeted specifically for this purpose when it is time to vote again (right-wing populist party leaving their flyers/Ads/crap in our street even though everything including the names should tell them to piss off)

@cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan they want to spam out Trump texts, so landlines are ideal here.

@cryptograbear
It's trivial to just filter these votes out, though. Like, 5 minutes of work on their side, maybe.
@pwrmnstr @ng0 @PsyChuan

@aladar @pwrmnstr @ng0 @PsyChuan I know it *would* be, but 1) I’m not sure they’d go to the effort to do so and 2) even if they go to the effort to do so it would make ‘em real mad

@cryptograbear @aladar @ng0 @PsyChuan
Plus they have to pay the staffers to clean up the data

@pwrmnstr
I mean, yeah, it's just that I don't want people to think it'll take a lot of effort to clean up or anything. It should be a quick few minute job.
@cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan

@aladar @cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan I just think it’s worthwhile to screw with them by any means possible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@pwrmnstr
Yep, it's a nice way to troll them. Just didn't want people to have false hopes of the officials getting pissed off about having to work overtime or something, if you get me.
@cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan

@aladar @cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan at the very least they’re getting some data about how wrong their conceptions are?
Cmon be encouraging

@pwrmnstr
I'm not trying to discourage anyone, please don't take it that way! Just trying to add my 2 cents to maybe help understand what exactly people can expect. :)
@cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan

@aladar @cryptograbear @ng0 @PsyChuan THERE IS NO BAD FIGHT

@Nine USA proxy server!

@thraeryn @pwrmnstr He will never grasp the concept of 'chipping in' though.

@reinderdijkhuis @thraeryn personal pizzas only

@koyu dude is NOT very bright

@pwrmnstr that's the obvious thing i was exploiting

@Frinkeldoodle I dunno about “roundabout”

@pwrmnstr I mean, it's like you get an e-mail from $Political_Figure labelled "take a poll asking for your opinion!", the poll just has a bunch of questions where the answer is supposed to be "ah yeah, all the stuff $Political_Figure supports", and then afterwards it says "thanks! ...oh yeah did you want to donate? so that all that stuff you said you were for happens? :o"

like really, it's just asking for donations with extra steps.

@Felthry oh it’s just some garbage that assumes the poll taker is a capitalist, racist dingdong who hates healthcare and AOC.

@carcinopithecus USA proxy server

@Leucrotta they want money not data / SO GIVE THEM NEITHER

@CaptMorgan it follows his general insanity
