This evening I stumbled upon one of those internet political surveys that you see advertised on Facebook. While probably sketchy, it’s kind of fun to fill out those surveys and see what kind of questions they are testing. As somebody who works in the communications industry, I am always interested to see what polls are asking and what is happening.

They always ask what is the last candidate you voted for President to see how your political leanings, along with your partisan preference and whether or not you are a strong Democrat. I get a chuckle when I honestly filled out Green Party candidate Jill Stein for 2016 and Libertarian Party candidate Jo Jorgensen for 2020. In solidly blue New York, it’s a safe choice to vote for the third party, and it advances additional voices into the political system. While I think Joe Biden is a much better president then Donald Trump so far, I don’t think my protest vote had any real impact on the election.
