Here's a New Polling Strategy - Which Democratic Candidate Do You Hate Most? [View all]

Note: This poll is satirical in nature.

I'm thinking maybe our primary election ballots should be in that form. Vote for the candidate you hate, and the candidate with the fewest votes becomes our Democratic nominee. This poll doesn't list every candidate, since there are only 10 available entries. It lists the most talked-about ones, though. The ones not listed are very unlikely to win, anyhow.

Which Democratic Primary Candidate Do You Hate Most?

Yes, it is hyperbole. That's intentional. MineralMan Apr 2019 #7

I reported this as divisive. zaj Apr 2019 #4

I agree. It is not a good approach. MineralMan Apr 2019 #10

I jury voted on it as such. This has consequences that are too ugly to entertain on DU. ancianita Apr 2019 #18

Satire is another way to change minds. MineralMan Apr 2019 #21

I hear you. I accept all that. ancianita Apr 2019 #25

Unable to choose due to an invalid premise LongtimeAZDem Apr 2019 #5

I did. Yes. It's a ridiculous way to choose nominee, isn't it? MineralMan Apr 2019 #11

Glad you see it as such. In my view, it's informational, maybe a good indicator of our weaknesses ancianita Apr 2019 #19

LOL, MM did. Yep, the post is satire! RKP5637 Apr 2019 #12

I don't hate anyone so I passed. Kaleva Apr 2019 #6

I don't HATE any candidate. crazytown Apr 2019 #9

That's good. You got the point of this satirical poll, then. MineralMan Apr 2019 #14

I don't hate any of them, and I think everyone would do a better job than the current occupant. Agschmid Apr 2019 #13

Excellent. I agree. MineralMan Apr 2019 #17

Lol good, didn't notice the satire thingy... embarrassed now. Agschmid Apr 2019 #27

Notice: This Poll Is Satirical in Nature MineralMan Apr 2019 #16

It was risky of you, but now I get it. Others who took it should be cut some slack. ancianita Apr 2019 #22

I am hardly one to avoid taking risks, as MineralMan Apr 2019 #24

Yes. An a clever way to make a point about getting lost crazytown Apr 2019 #23

Still very divisive. zaj Apr 2019 #31

Satire of what? zaj Apr 2019 #32

These are the candidates I've ruled out so far FakeNoose Apr 2019 #20

This is a brilliant concept, I think. Laelth Apr 2019 #26

Not hating ANY, and sad to see # re: Senator Sanders. elleng Apr 2019 #28

Wow. I thought Gillibrand would have it hands down! CrispyQ Apr 2019 #29

I don't hate any of them (yes, I get the satirical intent). The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #30

Well, for me, the 2020 Presidential election is about one thing: MineralMan Apr 2019 #33

Exactly. The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #34
