Imagine a presidential election, (not to be seen as parallel with the real one)

Bob is an absolutely reprehensible person in his personal life. Credible accusations of rape/murder and all kinds of shenanigans. He treats everybody he comes into contact with contempt or as a patsy. If he gets in he will use the office to enrich himself through various grifts.

Jim is a genuinely good person, a genuinely warmhearted public servant.

The thing is, despite your opinion on Bob’s personal traits, you think his policies are better. Not that Jim’s are atrocious, it’s just that even with Bob’s grifting factored in, Bob’s policies are a lot better. For whatever reason, you do trust Bob to enact the policies.

No 3rd party has a credible hope of winning, although some have policies you like better.

Who do you vote for?

  • No vote/3rd party. I hope Bob wins
  • No vote/3rd party. I hope Jim wins
  • Vote Bob
  • Vote Jim

Imagine a different presidential election.

Bob is an absolutely reprehensible person in his personal life. Credible accusations of rape/murder and all kinds of shenanigans. He treats everybody he comes into contact with contempt or as a patsy. If he gets in he will use the office to enrich himself through various grifts.

Bob’s policies are also terrible. He has shown he will routinely make the country worse off and will be incompetent in any crisis that occurs during his term of office. He will use the power of his office to attack his political opponents and fill the government with people who are loyal to himself. And he will probably try to illegally stay in office past the end of his term.

Jim is a genuinely good person, a genuinely warmhearted public servant and a competent politician.

Bob has been quietly supporting a 3rd party in order to divert votes from Jim.

  • Vote Bob
  • Vote Jim
  • Try to convince people both sides are bad and Bob and Jim are essentially the same.

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

  • Yes, because the tree will move air as it falls and create sound waves which will make noise, whether or not anyone is actually there to hear it
  • No, because sound must be heard by someone or something in order to exist
  • Eh, the question is meant to be thought about, not actually answered

Have you ever had an idea for a poll, searched this thread to make sure it hasn’t been done before, and discovered that you already posted that poll a few years ago?

  • Yes
  • No, because I never search before posting a poll

You’re driving somewhere on a two-lane. You’re stuck behind a vehicle going well under the speed limit, and which unbelievably and irritatingly seems to be following the twists and turns of your exact route. After a good 15 minutes of this, you have a turn coming up ahead, and as you are about to signal as you normally would…

  • I use my turn signal like normal, what are you on about?
  • I have the urge to delay my turn signal a bit, because - even though I know this is completely irrational - I can’t get past the feeling that they’re going to turn just because I signaled.
  • I don’t use turn signals, you statist.
