    I used to work for this company. They always claimed they don't do push polls but 90% of the political polls I did were full of leading questions phrased to just skirt shy of the label "push poll".

    Like, "Scam Likely", I wish there was an identifier letting us know it is a US poll. I would participate, but I NEVER answer the phone from unknown callers. 🦋🦋🦋

    "I have a chapter in the book on malignant narcissism as a characteristic of destructive cult leaders. These are people who have a deep need for grandiosity, to be the center of attention, who need to control others, and who lack empathy and lie without hesitation. These are psychological traits perfectly attuned to manipulation and projection.
    But the malignant part is about sociopathic tendencies. Almost every cult leader thinks he’s above the law, which is why he’s allowed to persecute and harass or harm anyone he wants. When someone really believes this, they can rationalize all kinds of destructive behavior.
    I began this book with the assumption that Trump is a malignant narcissist. Actually, watching him and listening to him reminded me of Sun Myung Moon, the leader of the cult I joined in college, in that both have a kind of God complex where they’re the only one with the answers, the only one who can fix things. Moon was going to create a theocracy and Trump was going to “drain the swamp.” But the way they carry themselves is similar.
    But what really made me think of Trump as a cult was the way the groups who supported him were behaving, especially religious groups who believed that God had chosen Trump or was using Trump. There are actual pro-Trump religious groups, like the New Apostolic Reformation, whose leaders were saying, “We’re of God. The rest of the world is of Satan, and we need to follow our chosen leaders who are connected to God.”
    There was this blind-faith aspect to the whole thing and an unwillingness to look at any inconvenient facts. That’s all very cult-like.
    The bottom line is that I see very sophisticated mind-control techniques being used through the media, through religious broadcasters and radio talk-show hosts. It’s a black-and-white, all-or-nothing, good-versus-evil, authoritarian view of reality that is mostly fear-based. And there’s a deliberate focus on denying facts in order to protect the image of the leader."

      Typical Democrat Psychological Projection: a defense mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. For example, a person who is habitually rude may constantly accuse other people of being rude. It incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping.
      you are merely praying on the democrat voters for personal profit.

      Interesting you should mention mind-control techniques being used through the media. Ever heard of Paul Joseph Goebbels, who said, "He who controls the medium controls the message. He who controls the message controls the masses." Goebbels, master propagandist and cultural dictator of the Nazi Regime, created the "Führer" myth and embedded the Nazi ideal into millions of German people. His propaganda campaigns as we all know were incredibly thorough and effective. The leftist MSM, through which you have been indoctrinated, is history repeating itself.

    It might be because most people hate mainstream media's ongoing bias. Just a tiny reason why most people were mad at your phone calls. Just a guess, since journalism is so dignified these days.

      I used to work for this company. They have nothing to do with the media and most of their polls are sponsored by corrupt Republicans phrasing questions to make their opponents look bad.

      That's not necessarily true. Often these calls get tagged as "Scam Likely" and don't get answered. While working for the National Opinion Research Center for the CDC's childhood vaccination survey, a ton of people stated that the number was coming up as a scam. Secondly, the system only let us leave a message for 1 in 10 calls.

      Howard Roark knao you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Andrew Yang has said many times he is not going to raise income tax. He plans on taxing companies that pay 0 in federal taxes like amazon and google. Not the American people. He plans on doing this through a value added tax (VAT) a lot of European countries already have things like that in place for huge tech companies. Do your research before you argue.
