Current Board Feelings about the President of the United States

[steross]

Curious about the overall feelings about the president from those that are on this board. Would like the votes of those that post often, those that post occasionally, and those that only come and take a look but don't generally post (lurkers). To keep all comfortable, the votes are not public.

Man, some hard core lurkers. 48 views, only 15 anonymous votes.

Early results looking like what I was sort of thinking. This board has essentially become a full-on echo chamber with every poster in agreement about the primary topic and just reading for confirmation. That shows from the posts. But, I was curious if others who support the president were still reading. If so, and they saw this, they decided not to vote.

Hey @GratefulPoke, is a view a unique person or is a view just that someone clicked on the page? If I clicked on this 5 times, is that 5 views or just one since I am the same person?

A view is a refresh or visit to the page. It isn't unique to a single visitor.

I figured there would be a little more support but its not surprising.

Most of the people who are on board with what he is doing aren't posting and have kind of moved on from any actual debate here. Im guessing either because this isn't the type of echo chamber they like or its pretty hard to have a good faith debate with someone when you know you are wrong but just don't want to admit it. Most of the pro-Trump debate is less discussion about the positives of his policies and more reciting talking points or trying to change the subject and anymore most people here who are willing to engage dont get bogged down in that as much as they are used to elsewhere.

Feeling pretty good on not taking any part of the federal process at the moment. Well, since 2008. Feel bad for winning 04’ but Iraq battles were looming large in the near future and changing leadership in the middle would’ve been worse for moral. Now, I d vote against.

Voted against Bush I
Voted against Clinton I and II
Voted against Bush II
Voted FOR Bush II
Voted against Obama I

Would have voted against Obama II, Trump I, Biden, Trump II.

What was your rationale for voting against Obama in 2008?

If I were to do the same thing that would have been the last time I voted for someone, unless you count Gary Johnson in 2012 even though I knew it wasn't going to matter.

Same rationale since my beginning. This isn’t the system that it’s intended to be. With the two party monopolization of it all, I tended to vote minority instead of with the majority. At the very least, I can create stagnation and quagmire.

Even term limits should have term limits to ensure the effectiveness of true representation of the electorate by forcing the discussion every possible opportunity.
