Take A Poll: If Donald Trump Succeeds With His Agenda, Will It Be Better Or Worse For Our Country?

[toobfreak]

Who the hell asks an "or" question and provides only "yes" and "no" type responses? Oh, I know who. The OP-er of this thread.

• Do you like apples or oranges? Yes.

He did it properly, just as polls often want a mere name or yes or no for their existing polls.

Then he asked for commentaries. No problem with that.

Better or worse question (the order of the options offered doesn't matter):

• Answer option 1: Better
• Answer option 2: Worse

Green or blue question:

• Answer option 1: Green
• Answer option 2: Blue

Straight question answerable by "yes" or a "no" is a "yes or no" question, but it's not an "or" question. Do you understand the difference? That is when the "or" is part of what's asked about, "yes" and "no" are not valid answers unless the question itself stipulates them as valid.

• Do collard greens grow better in clay or sandy soil?
• Do collard greens grow better in clay than they do in sandy soil?

The former of the two preceding question is an "or" question, whereas the latter is a "yes or no" question. ("I don't know" is also a valid answer for either type of question, and, unsurprisingly, the OP didn't see fit to offer that option in his poll.)

Why do I care? Well, because there's a saying that hold a lot of worth for folks interested in discussing anything, but especially discussing politics in a venue where the sole means of communication is written.

If one doesn't ask the right questions, the answers don't matter.
​

The same concept -- that if one isn't willing to think carefully about what one has to say, it doesn't really matter what one says or what others have to say in return -- applies to statements too. Words and grammar matter.

You know, there are treatments now that are pretty effective for high functioning autistics! #Asperger's Syndrome.

Donald Trump to Hungry Seniors: Drop Dead

Some 10 million elders are threatened by hunger—but the president’s budget would slash desperately needed funding for food programs.

Trump supporters: they're going to die soon anyway.

Have you thought that for those who are disabled or elderly, they will have their needs met but for those who are able to work will have to to get any kind of relief from the government? Welfare was never meant to be the sole income for those who are able to work.
Our present system in nonsustainable.

With control of congress there is no reason why he shouldn't. Question is why nothing so far?

The problem is, he fighting extreme conservatives, the crazies and liberals. The only strong force behind him are the voters.
