Here's the URL. I blurred out an identifier part of the URL.
https://training-dems.us/poll-may-16-2
Edit: tracked the domain, registered to one Eric Mayefsky, bruh who is 'building apps for the left'
I fed it an email address of "freegaza@gmail.com" to see what the poll questions were... this one is telling:
Anyone catch what's missing?
"The economy"?
"Inflation"?
"Wars in Gaza or Ukraine"?
Whoever put this together has fucked up priorities.
They're not real polls I used to give a lot to Dems, so I still get a shit of spam from them.
One time it actually just looked like a legit poll they wanted his likely voters to take...
It was three bullshit questions, and one of them was how bad trump is. Then it took me to a donation page with $100 default and a big countdown clock. I wanted to see what would happen so I waited the two minutes. The countdown started again, it was a loop.
No way to submit survey unless you donated too. So even if they cared about results it was only if you gave and likely to be rated by how much you gave.
Both parties are obsessed with donations because that's a nice lifestyle when your job is getting the donations. And that's all it takes these days to get senior leadership positions in the DNC or Biden campaign, just bring in as much money possible.
That means more of this bullshit, that probably turns off more potential donors than anything.
It's why I also stopped signing online petitions, relentless spam asking for donations. Uhh, I'm pretty sure I could better use the donations, say for healthcare, glasses instead of Dollar Tree Readers, a cavity and tooth cleaning, actually healthy food again, a proper vet exam for my fur baby instead of skipping X-rays he needed....
Which is why the DNC doesn't care about you.
They made donations their priority over votes a long time ago.
If votes were the important part, they'd have to interact with regular voters. Their lives are way better if they spent that time at huge 100k a plate fundraisers with celebrities and amazing food.
Yes, exactly!
Fucking UN Human Rights aren’t on that list.

“Eric has a PhD in Economics from Stanford and worked on Facebook's ad auctions for over 3 years. He's currently working on a behavioral finance startup.”
“behavioral finance” code word for psychological manipulation using money, typical Blue MAGA
edit 2: someone else had claimed to have verified that the whois for both urls matched, but I did not double check. After double-checking, in actuality, they do not match - train-dems goes to the Amazon Registrar wheres traindemocrats goes to the Cloudflare Registrar.
It is not likely that a website operator would utilize two different registrars like that, so this is instead a likely case of outside interference.
Blue MAGA should be ashamed of using the UN UDHR as a checklist for a platform instead of practicing Human Rights and ratifying ICESCR.
And Mr Eric Mayefsky, apologies, and I just hope that you will not be practicing any dark patterns of psychology.
Funnily enough that’s exactly how I interpret “former monetisation manager at Meta” as well.
elsewhere he described it as “has a PhD in Economics from Stanford and worked on Facebook's ad auctions for over 3 years”
our best and brightest, working hard to screw us over. Thanks Stanford!
Thank you
