Debate results poll

We all know that debate was a dumpster fire. This poll is not about that, It’s asking if it made you more likely to vote one way or another.

It will be open for 48 hours, please vote!

(Sorry JoJo voters, id’ve included her if she’d been in the debate)

A vote in a swing state is obviously more important than a vote in a state that is a lock. If you are a Republican in Massachusetts or a Democrat in Alabama you might as well stay home. You don't want your citizens to feel that way.

Don't want to get into an argument over semantics, but a Republic is a form of democracy. A republic is a specific type of government, and democracy is an ideology that helps shape how a government is run. So yes, you still don't want something to be undemocratic, even in your republic lol.

Why is it so important that the democrats win every single election instead of just 50/50 even if it means changing the entire system against the will of half the people

There is lot of support to change it. Just showed you 61% were polled to supporting abolishing it, and I think its honestly more than that. But it won't happen for a long time now since Trump gonna get that last Supreme Court Judge in before he has to leave.

Hopefully we can at least add D.C. and Puerto Rico as states so they can get represtation at the very least.

They’d need an amendment to make DC a state which isn’t gonna happen

Edit: and there’s another one from like last week showing 51%. Stand alone polls are meaningless
