If you had to bet a sum of money from your savings/assets that Biden will win in November **2024** , how much would it be? The bet is even-money; you’ll win a gain of $100 if you bet $100.

If you **had** to place a sizable bet on who would win the US election who would you choose? (Even money, bets void if neither win, your bet has no influence on the result)

It’s election day 2024, Biden v Trump, no significant 3rd party challengers. You prefer candidate A. Just as the polls open you find out that an acquaintance of yours left you a bet slip in his will which will pay out $US 25,000 if candidate B wins. Who do you now root for?

When eating a meal consisting of several different food items, do you usually eat “in order”? That is, do you completely finish eating one type of food before moving on to the next type of food?

Suppose you went grocery shopping and you bought an item that needed to be refrigerated after opening (and only after opening). It will be at a minimum a few hours before you open it and at most a few days. Would you put the item in the fridge right away or would you wait until after you opened it?

You are a prominent public figure and your secret goal is to get your opponents to remain as **un** -vaccinated against a disease as possible, so that they will be more vulnerable. What do you do? (Note: nobody here in this message board would have such an agenda in real life, of course. Rather, this is a psychology-assumption poll)

Poll is based off of a right-wing writer who [ridiculously claimed that liberals were trying to increase conservative deaths by telling conservatives to vaccinate against Covid](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/telling-people-vaccinated-leftist-plot-212422376.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAALd7AgZ4us4H6m_Ma_Sz36hp3De2sHNWZffjBA0zHAV3MnzBdQxWeBLU1CwqKiQEFTKo_HgNM4Tf5ZiAgHKhOlMwsAcnWQ4TUh_a5mD7VdkWlgW4z_TyDao59IbjuIx63Nj9sB504Q-5SPzDJaXXLbJx6N97SKNOnU-4bZsV5PC_), knowing that this would lead conservatives to rebel and refuse to vaccinate, and thus lead to more conservatives dying of Covid
