Ok. I still have a landline. I’ve been getting a fair amount of robocalls from the Trump campaign. When I dial back on the caller ID, I get the option to be put on a no call list (which the recording hilariously states can take up to 60 days to take effect). Of course what I really want to do is tell them go go pound sand in their azz, but that’s not possible. I keep hoping that an option to actually talk to someone in the organization comes up, but no. Anybody have an idea? Like write down the name of the PAC, and find a way to call them directly? And why aren’t I getting any calls for Biden?
Biden’s campaign apparently uses social media & email for that. I know they have a Facebook chatbot.
Probably because the Biden camp are aware that robocalls do little more than piss people off, and you do not want to go pissing off your own supporters that way.
I got a call from the Biden campaign today, but it was a live human. And, to my surprise, asking not for money but for volunteers.
It occurs to me that I haven’t heard from the Republicans for some months. The last time I did it was also a live human, asking for my father, who got the answer that he’s been dead for 30 years and to stop calling this number. It occured to me after I hung up that I think there was real pain in my voice; maybe the human on the other end was paying attention.
– having said that, I’ll probably now get three R robocalls tomorrow.
Worldometer has been showing me Trump ads. I occasionally click on one, just to cost the campaign a click and see how silly they are. Today’s was “President Trump wants to know what you thought of the 2020 RNC Convention”. The survey is a 30-question multiple choice, as follows (available answers coalesced onto one line):
- Did you watch the 2020 Republican National Convention?
Yes / No - How would you rate the 2020 Republican National Convention?
Historic / Great / Good / Other - How would you rate President Trump’s acceptance speech?
Historic / Great / Good / Other - How would you rate Vice President Pence’s speech?
Historic / Great / Good / Other - Did you watch the dark and depressing Democrat Convention?
Yes / No - How would you rate the Democrat Convention?
Terrible / Awful / Bad / Other - How would you rate Sleepy Joe Biden’s acceptance speech?
Terrible / Awful / Bad / Other - How would you rate Phony Kamala’s speech?
Terrible / Awful / Bad / Other - Who gave a better speech, President Trump or Sleepy Joe Biden?
President Trump / Sleepy Joe Biden - Who gave a better speech, Vice President Pence or Phony Kamala Harris?
Vice President Pence / Phony Kamala Harris - Which Convention do you believe was more aligned with your views?
The Republican National Convention / The Democrat Convention - Which Convention do you believe was more aligned with the views of your neighbors?
The Republican National Convention / The Democrat Convention - Which Convention do you believe did a better job of connecting with real Americans?
The Republican National Convention / The Democrat Convention - Do you agree that the Fake News will lie about how EPIC President Trump’s speech was?

Someone help me out - which ones are strawmen and which ones are poisoning the well, again?
I think 28 is my favorite.
Dayam. That’s some serious Junior High School level trolling.
Surprised they didn’t ask -
31. Who would your rather go to the prom with?
Studly Donald Trump / Icky Joe Biden.
Must have only had room for 30 questions.
Yup, that’s the one.
Today’s was pretty lame - the “is the liberal lamestream media unfair to President Trump” survey. Nothing about BLM, protests, Antifa, or COVID. All about “witch hunt” and left-wing bloggers asking the press secretary questions. Recycling 2019 material, I guess, but why? They’ve got the most EPIC writers for new stuff, right?
That has to be a joke. Designed to be able to post “true” results though laughably dishonest. And they did it this way because IT WORKS. We are doomed.
