Donald Trump robbed me...

[thistlechaser]

As if I needed more reason not to vote for him...

So I do lots of surveys, right? It's good side-money, I make a $10 Amazon gift card once a week or so. Today I got offered one from "Great America PAC" -- I rarely get political ones, so I looked it up before starting. It's Trump's...

How are these for unbiased questions?

Do you believe Barack Obama accomplished a radical liberal agenda the past 8 years?
Do you agree that President Obama’s weak foreign policy leadership has made our allies nervous and our enemies emboldened?
Should the Obama Administration have done more to stop the Benghazi attacks, which a bipartisan report has now determined were preventable?

Not only that, when I reached the end of the survey (99% completed), it then told me I was disqualified. Rarely companies do that underhanded thing -- they collect all your info, then at the very end tell you you're disqualified, so they don't have to pay for the results.

How surprised are we that Trump robbed me of the 60 cents I would have made for this survey?

I'm getting to the point where I'm about to start reacting to the word Benghazi like Marty McFly reacts to hearing the word Chicken. This does not reflect well on me. :(

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Same. At best, when I hear the word, I just stop listening. At worst, it makes me want to flail and froth at people.

You probably did not give the "correct" answers they were looking for. :P

I am not looking forward to this election season. Time to turn off social media for a while!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Agreed. I don't like any election season, but this one seems especially bad.

Surveys can disqualify you early for what they're looking for, but the 99% point is a bit late. :P

Any ethical survey WILL screen you out early if you don't qualify, otherwise it's a waste of both your time and the company's resources. This was clearly a push poll and not a real survey.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yep. And I'm not even surprised it is. Annoyed, but not surprised.

[bacchuslives.livejournal.com]

Bastards!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Seriously!

Donald Trump is the worst. He's a joke. A scary joke though.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I'll be glad (and relieved!) once he's a past tense joke...

[xxmadsenxx.livejournal.com]

Me too!

[ashmedai.livejournal.com]

So they only pay if they get the responses they want? Ugh.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I suspect it's more like they're not paying at all, period... though maybe you're right and they'll only pay for the people who agree with them. Either way, it's stealing from the company that hosts/runs their survey (and me!).

[resonant.livejournal.com]

Can you complain to that company?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I'd like to, but the company is really hard to get in contact with. They've been bought out three or four times now, and their website is a mix of contact info for all those previous ones...

[fbhjr.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Same...
